This is only the 3rd Kite I've ever owned, and the only one which still scares the pants off of me.
The kite is very large but easy to handle out of the bag, comes with lines and handles, good enough...
The kite has a nice design and looks great in the sky. The bridles don't get tangled too badly and because of the length and the way they are designed, so they're easily sorted. The kite does sit nicely staked out, be warned as you attach yourself to the lines it has an incredible pull as it takes off...
When it takes off it almost trys to produce a swing action trying to drag you under it as it pulls to the zenith. Once up its slow, I did however only fly this kite in the lightest of light winds.
A friend who was flying a Symphony 2.2 had his kite darting all over the place, while the Radsail 6m seemed like a slow blimp moving across the sky. It can pick up some speed but needs a bit more wind.
In the lighter winds when the wind fell for s moment the kite did collapse, but be warned once this kite fills back up again there is an amzing force to fight against ( perfect for jumping, scudding). Attempted to land the kite and it isn't easy. Takes a fair bit of strength to use the brake lines all the way down, even then as soon as you relax it shoots backup into the zenith ready for more.
Perfect kite for buggying, used a parastorm along with this kite and you can reach great speeds, easily controlled, flying at the edge of the window still provides a good force and the kite sits there nicely, doesn't try to rip you out of the buggy which is a plus when your out of control heading towards the sea....
I'm 12st and can just handle this kite. Would recommend no one lighter tries it ..
