out of both id say the radsail pro ive flown both and hated my firebee when i had it. i'm looking at getting a 3m pro2 cos i need a resonably cheap kite to go between my jack foil and my blade.

But it does also depend on where you fly as firebee's prefer a clean wind whereas the rad is a bit more forgiving in gusty conditions

Hi Jacko - don't be put off by the kite snobs (seem to be far too many & it's getting like kayak arguments over boats!).:(

 

The Radsail Pro II's are excellent buggy traction kites (IMHO) as they are well made (with sliding Dyneema bridles), predictable, with decent pull for their size. True, they are not as fast in the air or as powerful as more exotic high AR kites, and the handles are not the best, but you get a lot of kite for the money. :D A bit like choosing between a Mondeo or TVR! :D

 

Well worth it for general beach fun if you are not into jumping or getting dragged out of the buggy in gusts. I've got some U-Turn Oxygen's which are "better" in several ways, but also scare the sh*t out of me at times which then knocks my confidence back down.

 

You are welcome to try the Radsails at Ainsdale if you want. :cool:

 

Regards,

I can get ya some good prices on busters if thats the line you are lookin to spend,

they are a little better made than the radsail and firebee, my friend has both , my 3m buster will pull me much harder and predictably than both those.

i can give you a bit of 20% off the retail prices on busters too,

just let me know!!

i have been jumping my buggy on my 3m pro2!!! they are excellent kites but be wary of the lines and handles, i have also had 45mph from the buggy on my 3m!! but that was in 30+ winds. they are definately worth a try if nothing else!
