Subject: A Whisper problem.


Hi

I have never posted here before but I do read whats in here most of 
time.

At the moment I have a problem with a new kite that I have just 
bought.  The kite is called a Zonda Whisper, made by Air Crafts Ltd.

I was invited to the Avon Kites flyers meet last Sunday. The place
was Ashton Court which is just basic a massive high land mass.  The
wind was up and it was the first chance I would have to fly my new
kite.  The wind was constant,  but would drop only slightly for a 
few seconds.  

The kites itself is a delta design and recommended for light to moderate 
winds but when the wind dropped the kite literely fell out of the sky.

Can anybody help solve this problem with useful suggestion please.  
I have moved the towing point up by an inch but I doubt that light 
winds or very light winds will hold it.  Occasionaly it would stall and 
nose dive. I get the feeling that is unstable. But when the wind is
fast the kite really picks up.

I also get the feeling that is not harnessing the wind it receives.

Response by Email please.

Jon

THX(amp turned up): thud, and the crowd was deaf.
