Hi Rich83 It sounds like you have got the brake lines on your Firebee too short, IF SO YOU WILL NOT GET THE BEST OUT OF YOUR KITE. Try adjusting for length (or shorten the power lines if no adjustment left) untill the kite flys with little or no tension in the brake lines when the handles are held comfortably. If its a smaller bee you may then find brake line drag will flatten the back edge of the sail and spoil performance slightly. This can be corrected by adding a set of power rings which will trasfer the the brake line drag from the rear edge of the sail onto the power lines. If you want to compare your kite with one set up as above let me know as i have demos of 2.3, 3.0, and 4.0 at Mansfield plus 3.5 and 4.5 Xtracs. YOU ARE WELCOME TO COME AND TRY just let me know. cheers Skyback

Great review, pity you didnt name the seller. I also purchased a bag of wind of ebay it looked just like a crossfire, in fact the picture used was a crossfire, unfortunately the kite was not! Crap lines, crap handles, and shopping bag type nylon sail. The seller was ce-jason JUST SO YOU DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE. If you want a seriously cheap kite that works buy a Firebee and spend a little time setting it up. Top fun per pound
