Match of a rokkaku and a box kite, it is a very lifting kite, steady, and very efficient aerodynamically. When the wind lessen, it nods, and forewarn the kiter; the line angle reduces, the crico sets more backward, with more nose up, which keeps a good pull. Opposed to most of the kites, it doesn't go down vertically outright.

 

With a force 4 wind, its stability for kaping is excellent. The pull is really high for its size, with a great line angle. It is a kite needing technical cleverness. Its quality are disadvantages in whirlwinds near the ground which it will accurately follow. As a matter of fact, it is a well-up kite for trained kiters.
