    Eolo Radsails Pro

    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.

    I completely agree kiwi, you have the same kit as myself (all 3!) and its frustrating to seeing these kites slated by lots of people - lets remember these are entry level/budget kites and these type of kites should be recommended to those wishing to learn kiting on a shoe string budget before splashing out on more expensive kit. I think it is inevitable that the 'build quality' will not be as good as more expensive kites, lets face it - you have to get something more for your extra couple of hundred quid you're spending on flexi's and the like, but at the end of the day, i've yet to speak to someone who is disappointed with their Rads. Its the old phrase of you get what you pay for and at the price you can pick these up at, you cant grumble. Incidentally, i'm based in Halifax so if you fancy some kiting give me a shout.

    I to agree with kiwi,i have just spent some pennys on a 6m pro and for the money it is damn good fun.My freind and i fly when ever we can he has a beamer 3.6 and a 2.0 m samauri which are both good traction kites,but for the price of the ozone you can get a good intermediate level power kite. I have been very happy with my purchase.
