U-Turn Nitro Evo II 6.9M

u -turn have been developing there nitro races kites over the last few months and the resultant kite show the work has not been in vain

the original kite is very stable and fast in good winds and come with very strong sleeved kevlar bridles and power rings on the brake lines, however in windsthat were less than ideal there was a tendancy for the wing tip to fold in and the kite to luff

the 6.9 is a new size fitting between the exsisting 6.1 and 7.7 kites and slightly brakes the 25% steps in the range. looking at the kite layed flat the sail is identical to current kites with the exception of the u-turn claw which now decorated the lower as well as upper kite the bridles are now a much more colourful arrangement attaching to the sown in tabs and the power rings are now absent. the fineness of the line used on the brake and d lines almost defy's belief

the result of the new bridle is a flying profile which loses absolutely none of the power of the orignal kite . when seen flyin the kite now has a pronounced curved arc from tip to tip. the kite continues to pull rite to and beyond the window and need the usual brake appliction to prevent over flying turnin is fast and easy on the brakes and the ktie will happly spin on its own axis

apart from the new curvature the kite is also much easier to reverse launch should u happen to over cook it im guessing the liter weight lines on the trailing edge help . the loss of the power rings also help mid air collapses to be shaken out as they had a tendancy to catch on the thicker kevlar lines

the nitros are not for everyone but are deffinately now a kite to reconsider as a racers power source

current orignal versions can retro fit the new bridles with relative ease to benefit from the new found gusty wind stability
