i agree, they are harder to fly well, but you just need some seat time to get more familiar. unfortunatly you will probably not be able to go back to the bullets now, as you say they point much lower and dont allow those 45 degree days to work so well. I had a crack on a 7.3m in 5-10 mph and got 53kmph top speed, 51kmph with my own 6m yak. If you dont end up liking the bad behaviour of the 5m an upgrade to blade 4's is your only hope now

i have flown a 6.0m in 5 knots onshore, it ripps along. not for a begginer. best way to go fast i found was to cycle up and down twice and pull the break in fairly hard, it almost doubles the speed , and 40 kmph in 8 knot gusts is not too bad eh ? Ozone please make these a little cheaper

i have a 2.2 and 3.8m reactor and they are not that easy for begginers so i dont lend them like my old kites in the past, i have flown yakuza 6.0m , reactor 8.0m , blade 6.5m . I think these Reactors sit well at the price its hard to go past them, for my next buy (about 6.0m ) Im trying a yak 6.0 and reactor 6.4 back to back (yak is trippple the price , ouch ) so i guess it will be a 6.4 reactor too....

i have a 2.2 for high wind and a 3.8m for 15kts or below, love the kites so far. after about 8 hours flying i had to shorten the front lines by 35mm to keep it behaving itself due to elongation of the high load lines. to fly let the kite rock out in front under no brakes, pause and touch a bit of brake and wham it doubles the pace, hold it there and rocket along, release the brake , 50% of the tug is released, its a pussy cat again. 2.2m and 3.8 is good for everthing but below 8kts thena 6m or 8m is needed but these turn slowly compared to the 3.8 and id rather not go those days
