Eolo Radsail Pro 6M

This is the first review I have ever written so bear with me.After receiving my RADSAIL PRO 6M mid week from skymonster kites

I was not very with pleased rucksack it came in,the zip looks cheap and I am not sure how long they will last,but it does the job.It has an extra pocket on the outside for extra items.

The kite was unfolded and I was very surprised at the quality of the build.The stitching was all straight and all the bridle lines are in good order.It has a crisp feel to the kite,and the kite lines are good but I would replace them for better lines.There are two nifty covers for each handle end which are used to wind the lines onto, this is a bit fiddley but does the job.

The handles themselves are good and very comfy they are alloy with a rubber cover.So today 17/04/2009 with the wind blowing around 10 mph was to be the first flight.After unpacking the kite on the field it instantly inflated and was waiting for me to pull on the handles.So the first flight was great,it lifted off the ground with no problems at all,after a short flight and an adjustment of the brakes it was flying perfect.I was expecting it to pull like a dinosaur on steroids but it didnt happen.

At the top of the zenith it held in the wind and turned with ease.in the wind window it pulls very hard but with a harness on your body takes the weight and not your arms.As for what to use the kite for I am 16 stone and it lifted me around 5 foot off the ground(this was my first jump so I got dumped on my backside)I also must say KITE KILLERS ARE A GODSEND used mine today and suggest if you are flying this kite in a strong wind "USE THEM THEY WORK".

In conclusion the RADSAIL PRO 6M is a good budget kite that flies very well and is built very well.I would recommend this kite,it is no Flexifoil but if your on a tight budget this is the kite for you.I have just ordered a radsail 3m and you get a 1.4m for free(skymonster kites)I will review these when I have had a chance to fly them.Thanks for reading and happy flying
