The Bag is Funtional. Your typical backpack. Not big enough for the kite though. It could have been better if it came with a drawstring bag too. So zipper and kite mishaps is avoided. Lines were of good quality. Something like Ozones. 30m 110kg. On the first outing, 5-8mph winds, over cast skies, launched without much fuss. Very well i might say for such light winds. Lifty at the zenith. Loads of power right across the window. Quite slow to turn, but that is also because of the very short strop between the handles. It is short by any standards. Even the Busters are longer. bridle construction was spot on. all sewn loops. no more tie offs. Sail construction, can't really commend coz my other foil is a buster. Very-very much better than the buster. Compareable to the blades(my mates). Was suprised by a lift of 3ft. when the wind picked up without even really trying. no running, just turned and off i went. landing was not harsh. Stable to a certain degree. Manage to luff it a feW times, intentionally, to see if it gives me any suprises. Was very predictable. For 1/2 an hour of flying, before the rain stoped my fun, was impressive. Left me grinning and cussing at the rain while rushing to pack up my new toy. Would be a very good buggy kite. Very wide wind window. Will try it on a buggy when i get a chance. Value for money? hmmmmmm....cheaper than samurais. Pros: Solid construction. Good lines and handles. Good & smooth power. Lift when u need it. Cons:Short storp, Over stuffed backpack(zipper hazard) By : benny
