Introduction - Bought this kite off ebay and it was a bargain at only £150 (considering its the new 2006 model).
Packaging- Well the zips are still rubbish and the bag isnt as good as Flexifoils, but you do get full intructions and a cool dvd teaching you how to set up/ dismatle and the basics of buggying.
Quality of the kite/lines/handles
The kite itself is very good quality and the material has been updated , my 4m is still going strong after nearly 2 years.
The handles are constructed very well and the lines are also very well made, (supposibly stronger than those on a blade 6.6). there is also a new "winding up system, for easy winding and unwinding which works well.
Looks- Black grey and white printed on both sides - very sleek and sexy.
Flight - only took 5mins to set up , launches first time and produces a huge amount of pull , would be exellent for boarding/buggying. you can get lift on this fairly easy in nearly all wind conditions but not as much as you would on a blade.
I would not reccomend using this kite in strong winds.
overall an exellent kite competing with the Blade 4.9 and 6.6 ,if you havnt enough money for a blade buy this.
