sorry to all of you! my only intention was to get info how the capricorn behaves with the kite up. i dind't want to smoke you with (poly)fumes. in the time this discussion has taken i've made my mind up. i'll try to sell my nacra f18 (which is a real good deal!!!) and trade it in for a capricorn. i'm comfident that i have enough skills to take my wife for a spin at windforce 6. i hope i'll be able to let you know how i like the capricorn after the long winter. (that newzealand tornado movie, in the other post, might help me through the winter.
