    PKD Buster II 4M

    Been flying the buster 2 4m for sometime now and in doing so thought id do a quick review of the kite.

    On recieving the kite, it came in a blue stuff sack which was ok not really much use for anything else because you can only get the kite,lines,stake, and handles in there, also two bags which you can fill with sand or rice to help hold the kite down if you wish and some stickers,instructions you download from there web site all helps to keep the cost down.

    On setting it up straight forward, although it would have been nice to have different colour brake lines to the power lines, helps tangles!!!

    Anyway flying the kite it was blowing about 10-15mph which was about right for this kite i pulled the handles and the kite shot to the zenith and on doing so over flew slightly so I landed it and ajusted the brakes slightly.

    Launched it again and she sat perfectly at the zenith waiting for my instructions,slight pull on the handles and away the kite went flying straight across the window from one side to the other with very little luffing at the edge of the window.Turning was quick when the break lines were spot on and positioning the kite in the window was no problem.

    As for power PLENTY. This kite can really exhilarate you, it is a great kite for a beginner,stable,predictive and not to much lift, don't get me wrong this kite will lift you but its not like my blade4 4.9.

    Also on this kite is the aoa adjuster which helps you to define your flying conditions.

    I find that this kite is a all rounder great for static flying will drag you all day long,also good for buggying to.

    CONCLUSION

    1. Superb value for money for your first kite and also because of the kit you get with it.

    2. Well made apart from the handles and kite killers (just buy some flexi or ozone)

    3. Great stability and some lift.

    4.A kite that stays in my quiver for sometime.

    All in all this is a great kite but it will give you pain if you don't respect it.

    We used this kite in our kite school for most of last summer, I found the kite to fly nicely on handles and is stable and fun. Does need to be flown on the correct setting otherwise it can be unstable especially in lighter winds as it does not fill up too well.
