I was also supprised by the good value for money of this kite. I can also say, compare to a 5.5 Rombus Firebee, that the Radsail 5 is much more stable, have less tendancy to luffing and have a bigger wind window. I think it's a great kite to start off with... not meaning you don't need to be cardfull with the amount of power it can generate.
