Default is "turning speed" always a good thing ?

Would you rather go for a slower and more stable kite or would you look for something fast and maybe slighlier unstable ??

I wish Kite Brands will be able to speed up big kites and slow down the small ones.

The few times that I used my 7m I could not try anything else than my usual "table tops", as soon as I leave one hand of the bar I get jenk one side or the other......

What do you guys look for in a kite ?? Turning speed or stability and constant pull ??

Well, I for one am a fan of speed.

Speed rocks. Fast kites, fast downloads and yes, even fast cars:

Thumbs up turning speed please

I would like all of the above esp turning speed on kites larger than 12m.
