If I was going to use a 130 I would just spend the $$$ on an electric set up.
Buck man - SFE and Tigress are making "high wind" kites now. They look like regular fishing kites, but have holes in them to dump wind. I haven't tried one, but it might worth looking in to. Captain Harry's website has them.
