I need a light wind buggy engine. My current quiver starts working well at 7 mph of wind and that's just not low enough for what I often have to work
with. I want a light wind engine that will power me in a gnat's fart.
I have a 10m Ultralight Peel that was awesome even in near nothing before it got blown out. I want a kite light enough to fly in almost and big
enough to generate enough pull to get my 165ish pounds moving on the beach hard pack.
I've been thinking about a Vapor or Reactor II in about the 10m size, but I am sure there are some other good options out there. I've been having so
much fun with the Arcs I've just not paid much attention to light wind wings.

I fly: Charger II 6.5m * Charger II 8m * Charger II 10m * Scorpion 10 (for sale) * Phantom II 12m * F-Arc 1200 * Venom 13m
I ride: Peter Lynn XR+ on Midis * Flexifoil Midi/Barrow * Peter Lynn Comp on Barrows * Peter Lynn XR+ (needs a fork)
A big ol' 10m PKD Century II would Haul ya around real good too! Just sayin' ,not that I'm biased or anything....
Get a BIG soulfly, haul butt and look sweet
I'll never forget the day Angus and I ran our 10.8 RIIs on Jekyll Island. Winds for the most part 4-7 and running in the mid 20s with the lines
singing. It will launch in a puff and once you get it moving it doesn't stop. I think an 11 or 13m Vapor would be even better, just a tad lower wind
range. 18 Phanny works in the same territory as well if you can fill and launch it. No experience with the jojos, yaks, or big PKDs.

I wonder how low you could go with a Flysurfer Speed3 21...
Not that I have one to test... but that would be interesting to see.
Probably way out of any logical/sane person's budget...

Was a post not long ago about this kite, looked pretty in the sky in 1.5 mph
Have you thought about a nasa wing. The price for one is low compared to foils.

19m SA2 arived from post office and i took it (and wind meter and harness) straight to a small local park. wind- 1.8 gusting to almost 4 mph.
didn't even think it would launch or stay launched but it did and i was static jumping.
second time out static with no wind meter...pretty sure it wouldn't launch. my brother just wanted to see it unrolled in all it's glory. this time
there was really no wind and i did not even put on my harness. the leaves on all the trees were pretty much still with the occasional flickering. just
for kicks i popped it up (with no harness on) it took a lot of running to get it launched but once it did launch it stayed up so i went and put on the
harness and with work and i was again static jumping. really crazy:wee:
another time...my brother couldn't get the 17m Speed1.5 launched while I was tearing it up (buggying) with the 19m SA2.
