Thanks for the input Miguel. I understand that the Sonic and Crossbow have differing shapes, presence and absence of pulleys and variances in bridling. Can anyone comment upon the influence of these differences on performance? I understand the Bow kites have impressive gust handling characterisitics. For a given kite size, say something around 11 to 12 m, what would you estimate the upper end to be? How does the kite behave near the upper wind limit?

Thanks!
