Wow! If I get my L'Quartz to fly like that I'll be one extremely happy man!

OK, this weekend I'll check all bridle configurations and will do all the tests and hopefully I'll win a new kite!

Thanks.

Im not sure i get what the issue is. Speeding up or slowing down a trick or sequence of tricks is generally up to the pilot, not the kite. A specific kite may have a range that it is comfortable with for a specific move. Faster or slower cascades for instance. A smaller kite is generally faster to rotate through moves than a bigger one, but even a big kite can do most any trick at different speeds. It's how you fly it.

Choreography-wise, I agree with bt. Hitting every second or fourth beat is often the way to go. It can look much more precise.

I have normal pultruded rods as LE in my Quartz as well, and like it a lot. Tried p200 and didn't like it AT ALL!

I guess there something not quite right with your bridle settings. It should have larger then normal turning radius with the original bridle setting though. I believe i've shortened the outhauls by 1 cm and tend to have it set quite heavily. Still it performs very well even in low winds. My Le Quartz has rollbars and 20 grams in the tail.

Thanks Norm. It was a REALLY bad day to forget my camera GREAT turnout for the Wiz. and as mentioned THANKS Glen

Well, i've had it on the lines for an hour in not too stable wind. Have to fly the Nitro and 5pt version in the same wind to compare. I've changed the tailweight system after the first session. I gues the weight distribution is a bit different compared to the Nitro version since the LLE is Nitro Strong. It's only a few grams difference so i might need to add a bit of extra weight to the adviced 25 grams.

Still it feels quite solid. There were a few gusts and the frame could easily take it. No deformation or wingtip stutter. I mostly like the feeling of a 5pt frame a lot. I've never had any of the more exotic frames in my kites. No Aerostuff, Icone or anything similair. I've flown a few kites with those ultra stiff frames and i didn't always like the feeling. The Hugo might be an exception to that... great kite.

Once your hooked it never ends. Im in the process of saving for two kites (a 7.5 and a superfly).
I keep telling myself I should sell a few, but I always find a reason or time or place to fly everything I have...

I'm in Dayton, Oh.  I'm also part of an active kite club from the Cincinnati and northern KY area called PIGS Aloft.  We fly on the second Sunday of the month out front of Voice of America park in West Chester, OH.  Might be worth the trip to stop by next time the weather is nice.  Plus you can meet a few other flyers nearby.  We attend festivals all over our area including a few in Kentucky throughout the summer.

These special "banDANA's" were given to all the flyer/attendees at the Dan Rubesh (WindWizard) celebration of life held at the Oxnard Beach Park on 05-19-2013. Special thanks goes out to Glen Rothstein the AKA Regional 12 Director for organizing this event. Dan will be missed by ALL who knew him.

I finally got the fifth level of blocks on my fourth try. That was really bothering me yesterday. I really like tests like these. Thanks for the post.

NikWax Tech Wash Is probably the only thing I would trust.  Not sure about availability in France.

This might be a fine time to replace the bridle with a white one. 

ATB,
