Finally dusted of the cobwebs on my kite bag last Sunday and went down to the local park.
12mph winds and as it's been 6 months since I've taken the kites out thought I'd start with the 4m. I'd forgotten how much fun they are as during the winter I get all tied up in skiing.
I've got 3 kites. All radsails. A 2.4 gor the really windy days, a 4m pro and a 6m pro.
When I bought my first kite, the 4m, I read loads of reveiws that they arn't that good and you get what you pay for but some advice at my local shop said they are wirth their money and some and been a simalar shape to the blade II you can't go wrong.
The kite flys like a dream. The only down side is they do tend to fly over and luft a little but thats easily rectified applying the brakes. When ever I fly it I feel like I'm holding a wild horse that just wants to go for it so let her go and wayhay big smiles all around.
I was so taken with the kite I found a new 6m radsail on ebay for £159 with handles and bar in Germany so quickly bought it up for the lighter wind days. Did get caught out on the first day I took it out getting caught by a strong gust and getting some unplanned serious air but this brought smiles and the quality was just as good as the 4m.
The 2.4 followed but I'm still to take it out.
The only done side I found with the kit was the handles but these can be replace with little expence.
To sum up the Radsails may be cheaper than other makes but they are still a hot engine.
I'm still to find anybody to fly with in West Yorkshire so if anybody is localish to Leeds or Bradford let me now.
