This kite
is easy to mount, there is only the span to fit, and the
stretcher to adjust. It sits on the ground, ready to take-off,
and thus, it doesn't need an assistant. Its behavior in
the wind is very steady and foreseeable. It doesn't do loopings,
even in the worst circumstances, and doesn't fall. When
the wind lessen, there is a break point where it drops,
and it comes down like a parachute. It is an excellent flyer.

Its stability
for kaping is fairly good. Although its surface is modest,
its aerodynamic output is good enough to lift a light rig
in 5 m/s winds, and a 1kg rig over 6m/s winds. Its wide
wind range works my preference for it when the wind is persistently
varying between 3 Beaufort and 4 Beaufort up to 5 Beaufort.
it is possible to set the bridle to get more pull, and despite
of it, it will remain steady, but will requires a higher
minimum wind.
