Flexifoil Bullet

Having flown several stackers and 2 super 10's, I had been gagging for a much larger kite.

When I saw Flexifoil had a new kite out I thought I'd definately get one. I bought mine when I was on holiday near West Super Mare from UFO. I opted for the handles/bar package. It unpacked easily and was setup ready to fly in no time.

As I had never flown a 4 line kite before I didn't really know what to expect and put the kite killer straps on as I didn't want to lose an expensive kite if I fell over. I pulled gently on the top lines and the kite raced straight up catching me off guard by it's sheer power, causing me to run down the beach until the kite was at the top of the window.

After flying the kite near the top of the window for a bit, I decided to do a bit of scudding and was surprised by the smooth power. I was glad later that I had the kite killers on because I got pulled straight over and let go of the handles. To my surprise the kite was laying gently on the ground and after I picked the handles up, was easily launched again. As per other peoples comments it is fairly difficult to land unless at the edge of the window. I have also found it hard to slow down when going across the window, although this is probably due to it's power.

I find using the bar a bit akward and prefer to use the handles.

Overall, I love it!
