EOLO Radsail Pro 4m

I chose this kite after getting some quality advice from the forum at Racekites.com. I took it out at the weekend for my first ever flight of my first ever power kite.

There were scant instructions provided with the kite but i found them to be sufficient. The kite power and brake lines are colour coded and impossible to confuse. I attached the flying lines to the kite and handles, took about 20 minutes to set up in total.

The wind was very light on the day, probably less than 10mph. I did struggle a bit at first to launch the kite but once up it quickly soared to the top of the window.

This kite is very easy to control and is suited to beginners like me. The kite is very willing to fly across the power band and even in the light winds i was scudding across the snow a bit. It responds well when the brakes are applied to stop you & the kite getting out of control. The brake lines were a bit long but considering that the kite flew straight out of the bag without checking them, i can hardly complain.

The kite is well constructed and strong. I crash it head on into the ground (only once though) and it was perfectly ok.

Overall, I would recommend this kite to other beginners and am confident to take the kite out in stronger winds as it is easy to keep under control. It generates plently of power and i think it would be suitable for jumping and buggying. It was great value for money - got £100 off at marionville models. It was certainly an excellent buy and saved me from an elementary mistake of power kiting: - buying a two line flexifoil super 10 as a first kite.
