firekarter Posted December 27, 2005 Report Posted December 27, 2005 Got some JoJo RM's for sale. They'll certainlly pull u along at a great rate of knots Quote
lewiss Posted December 27, 2005 Report Posted December 27, 2005 well i use a 2.4meter in my buggy for strong winds and that can get me up to some quite high speeds. Quote
jacko Posted December 27, 2005 Author Report Posted December 27, 2005 thats gud yeh,but are they decent kites? (rad proII and firebee)???????? Quote
.Joel1599968690 Posted December 27, 2005 Report Posted December 27, 2005 You give us the options of a Radsail and a Firebee.... This is like comparing maggots and worms. Move towards a JoJo. Quote
kitemadgoth Posted December 27, 2005 Report Posted December 27, 2005 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 Quote
jacko Posted December 27, 2005 Author Report Posted December 27, 2005 just askin advice, thats all:o. ive used my blade3 4.9 and its good but unpredictable:eek: Quote
Furry Ginger One Posted December 27, 2005 Report Posted December 27, 2005 Kitemadgoth - you have PM Quote
aquatix Posted December 28, 2005 Report Posted December 28, 2005 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. A bit like choosing between a Mondeo or TVR! 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. Regards, Alan Quote
Pablo Posted December 28, 2005 Report Posted December 28, 2005 The Radsails are good for the $$$, but in that price range I'd also be looking into the busters. Quote
mynakedrat Posted December 28, 2005 Report Posted December 28, 2005 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!!

lewiss Posted December 28, 2005 Report Posted December 28, 2005 thats gud yeh,but are they decent kites? (rad proII and firebee)???????? yes.... and there cheap. Quote
Passing Through Posted December 28, 2005 Report Posted December 28, 2005 Good for the money and good in a bug. Quote
martincooke Posted December 28, 2005 Report Posted December 28, 2005 My Pro 4m is an excellent buggy engine, its took some serious abuse but its still in a1 nick. Its had me upto 32mph in the bug and is so predictable, i'd definately advise anyone to buy one. Quote
KermitStu Posted December 28, 2005 Report Posted December 28, 2005 radsail are great buggy kites Quote
jacko Posted December 28, 2005 Author Report Posted December 28, 2005 thanks to everyone for their advice:D CHEERS.............. Quote
Blader Posted December 30, 2005 Report Posted December 30, 2005 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!
