How contolled was that 33.9mph big boy... did you manage to stop and turn around? 
If i remember correctly it was a Tiny-Kamikaze-speedrunspecial with no thought of stopping at the other end lol

But i can answer yours though... and that was that the kite was ditched in fear as you almost became part of the local B road not knowing how to stop or turn around lol.
Im up for a speed run new time guv and i'll employ the kamikazespeedrunspecial tactics too....
With that in mind, i should be breaking the f'kin sound barrier

Blade IV mate...
The BEST kite Flexi make
If anyones scared of it, just bang it on its least powerful knot on the adjustable bridle and it wont bite... hard

That kite will go for about £225 and worth every penny with the extreme lines and handles.
Wouldnt go any more than £250 on it though.
Available for £320 new, this one is almost as new. I rememebr the day Kev got it. Probably flown less than half a dozen times.

Just knock it down a peg on the bridle mate.
If its too much then just fly your 3.5m Blurr till your comfortable.
Blades are called widowmakers for good reason, but only if you take the **** with em. Any one of em will spank your ***, but its all down to being sensible with it.

naughty, very fast, would encourage you to fly it in higher winds and it will spank you faster.
Little lifty kites can be naughty. They redirect faster and so will drop you just as fast as they pick you up
the 4.9 is more suitable concidering you have a 3.5m Blurr
