baby tana

[kitehighland]

exelent kite for no / low wind, and cheap too. how do the more expensive ones differ?

[Mordarth]

Having not flown the Baby Tana I cannot compare it but I have a Prism 3d that lives up to my expectations, it responds well on light wind/no wind days but in 5mph+ winds it's fast!.

 

Only problem is with the standoffs, they are attached via elastic bands thru the leading edge & poke out a bit so lines can catch.

 

Ok on Axels when I manage to get my hand movement right.....(Practice makes perfect;) ) & stalls well.

You'll find the smaller SULs like the Babytana are very squirrely and need really fine movements so as not to 'over-control' them in the air.

 

Larger indoor/zero wind kites like the Innerspace and Amazing etc. would tend to float better in the air by comparison, as well as being much smoother in flight, and less sensitive than the smaller variety.

 

There are a lot of mid-size SULs the like of the 00 from l'Atelier and the Sweety from Wolfgang Siebert. Capable kites, slightly smaller than the full-size IS and Amazing, but somewhat cheaper - The Sweety for instance will set you back in and around 60 quid new. Less than twice the price of the Babytana, and (no disrespect to the 'tana) probably mroe than twice the capability.

 

Hope this helps.
