Batwing has perfect flying characteristics at all tack angles and speed. It is stable in a gusty wind. Our first attempt to present this kite at Wissa2000 lead our kiter (who, at that moment, was far from excellence in kiteriding) to the 3rd place at that international competition! However this doesn't mean the Batwing is for ambitious sportsmen only. Any rider with average experience may take control over this kite and ride it with rare collapses and great fun. Another feature of Batwing is its capability of 'floating' even in the weakest wind. A rider with certain skills in pumping may still ride the Bat when most kites are already unable to produce any power. When riding in a strong wind the Batwing gives the explosive but controllable power which is again large enough to go faster than most kites... faster than the wind. Technologies | Batwing.
