Eolo Radsail Basic 3M

This was my first power kite. An excellent kite to learn on, but i outgrew it very fast.

The package is complete. Rucksack, beginners dvd for setup and flight, good lines, ok handles and a nice kite.

It's made of ripstop material, meaning the fabric is divided into thousands of small squares. Therefore a tear will stop at the edge of the square preventing a tear to get bigger. (Same principle as ripstop clothes used by the army).

The Kite is delivered idiot proof with color coded lines and bridled ends. An at piece of paper stuck to the bridled ends showing which line goes where.

The Kite flies quite nice. Easy to launch by my self and stays up even i low wind conditions.

I used the kite only a couple of hours, then sold it again. It has potential, but requires quite strong winds to really pull. Each time a good gust came along, the smile on my face grew leaving me hungry for more.

My wife learnt flying this kite in the matter of 10-15 minutes. She could very well handle it without difficulty.

My conclusion would be the Radsail Basic 3M is a fine first kite, but is outgrown quickly. It behaves with manners and seldom gives any surprises. It is wind thirsty for to give strong pulls, but flies well in low wind conditions.

The package is totally complete with excellent instructions and a great place to start.
