There is little to no info included with this kite. The video is poorly done and virtually irrelevant as it does not feature this kite. I have had the chance to fly it all of about 20 seconds, the rest of the time it sits on the ground. Even in moderate winds I have had little success with this kite. I have flown the Powerfoil 4.0 in comprable wind without any problems. I went with the 5.0 to have a bigger kite as well as the 4 lines. To bad it doesn't fly!

the good, the bad, & the ugly 
I must admit that this kite was frustrating to say the least at the beginning.
The video included is for bladder kites whereas the kite is a foil.
The lines included with the kite were all the same length instead of compensating for the need of brake lines. Of course, I couldn't get it to fly for quite some time. I've flown big kites in the past but this was one of those... its so obvious I didn't see it cases. Another flying friend of mine pointed out that the brake and lead lines were the same length.
I ended up taking about a foot and a half out of the top lines and even then, decided to use the handles that came with my little parastunter quad (1.4). Well, that was good till I started to break the leads on the handles.
I've since made my own aluminum handles with about 19 inches of space between the two lines and needless to say, I love the kite.
It isn't anywhere near the thrill of flying a tripple stack of flexi 10' kites, going up and coming down just to break an 800lb kevlar line (which I did in 40+mph winds) but for its massive size, it does put on a good show. Only other recommendation I may make is longer lines than what it comes with.
