desciple Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 The Airbow is a beautifully made and attractive kite. Tim Benson makes amazing kites to incredibly high standards (I have a full set of Gemini's). I owned an airbow for a few months and just couldnt connect with it at all. It is a very floaty kite and feels lighter than light on the lines. I prefer the revolutions as they are a little more precise in their movements.

jbrown7911 Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 if you want fun and are used to power kites the airbow is the kite for you. You can throw huge hand movements at the airbow and it still comes back for more. take a look at http://www.aeolian.co.uk and have a look at the airbow there also at middle wallop 2004 I organised a Airbow fly in and we had 7 Airbows going all together. I now own two on for showing in the arena and one for customer testing. But my poor arena model has ummmm snapped WHOOPS you need to be careful what wind you take it out in. If you want you can always pop and see me at a festival or at the shop and I can take you out on a bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desciple Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Bastiaan and Big Davey suffer the same ailment/disorder. They buy kites and fly them then fall out with them and sell up. A few days later they are so wracked with guilt that they head out and get a new one only to fall out with it again relatively quickly. It's a terrible affliction I know but what can you do!!

tiny_clanger Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 my bf has one, he bought it when he culdnt fly powerkites cos of his broken leg. I'm terrified of flying it, but that's cos it doesnt have killers, and I'm scared of breaking it!! But it's such a fun kite, does all sorts of things and is really cool to watch in the air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrown7911 Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 deal now done just awaiting delivery.. thanks to all involved . Good man you know it makes sense! Want a four line kite but used to the arm wrenching movements of a power kite then your definetley better off with the Bow far mor forgiving and you hardly ever ever ever have to go to the kite to sort out line wraps or tangles unlike those Rev things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
