Howard Marks Posted August 2, 2005 Report Posted August 2, 2005 Who has one and what do you think? Quote
oc1rob Posted August 2, 2005 Report Posted August 2, 2005 Flown the 6m a couple of times, quite snatchy in naff conditions. It was quite new at this time and has since bedded in to make it less irratic. Quite a bit of pull and it definately has lift if used in the correct way. Defo well made, but did not like the bar or safety line (it was just not my thing) Quote
jrobson Posted August 2, 2005 Report Posted August 2, 2005 If you get one, get extension lines. Quote
adamski Posted August 2, 2005 Report Posted August 2, 2005 If you get one, get extension lines. LOVELY kite..... if only it was water relaunchable:( On land it is truly a great kite. I have a 6 & 9m pair the 6 is awesomly fast and produces NEARLY as much power as the 9 does, you just have to work it. The 9m is great from fairly low winds you can lock it in place and cruise and as the wind picks up the jumps kick in. I am buying a 10 Psycho after flying this kite... once you are used to the way they work you will love them... well I did/do:D Quote
stueyboy Posted August 2, 2005 Report Posted August 2, 2005 Quite a bit of pull and it definately has lift if used in the correct way. I would like to add that Rob was the victim of a 'surprising' amount of lift I need to get extensions as the 6m is really too quick on the lines it comes with. I've flown it in smooth coastal winds and was well impressed. Very quick in the air and redirected very quickly so extensions should slow it down and make it less twitchy. Quote
milkmans son Posted August 2, 2005 Report Posted August 2, 2005 Lovely kites.. I now have a 4 and 6, thinking about a 9, but perhaps nick the housekeeping (a few years worth) and get a speed. Quote
stueyboy Posted August 2, 2005 Report Posted August 2, 2005 Yeah, if I had the money, I would get a speed. Probably a 10m or 13m. Hmmmm nice ! Quote
muffy Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 I need to get extensions as the 6m is really too quick on the lines it comes with. I agree it's too quick with the lines it comes with. I've just fitted the line extensions but haven't had time to give them a go. Hopefully tonight. Quote
djkiter Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 I have the 9m and I'm very happy with it. Lots of pull with plenty of "friendly" lift when the wind picks up. It will take you up and let you down gently. The extension lines really make a difference. Quote
