wayne L Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 managed to get the 4m b2 out up ours for ten mins steve had his b3 4m out for 10 mins before going 10 ft up on the harness so i bottled it and tried on the handles with killers on now my arms are 5 inches longer but im 2 st lighter after being launched 15ft+ needless to say we packed up and crawled home lol Quote
Big Gaz Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 I did take my B3 4m with me but it was so gusty i thought id leave it in the bag...... Last time i flew in strong winds like today was with a 2.5 Bullet, when i deployed it snapped a kite killer Quote

wayne L Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 just looking at the peter lynn site the phantoms are not available now is it the venom that has superseeded them and do you know the difference ie caracteristics of flying ect Quote
Big Gaz Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 Havent got a clue, but if they have a new model out then the older models are gonna be coming down in price and there should be a few more on the secondhand market Quote
