I am New to this whole Power kiting thing but have flown stunt kites for a few months prior to this. Starting out on my power kite journey I searched and with a little help from this site I managed to come to my Conclusion. I looked at the Beamers and Crossfires but did keep in mind that i was a beginer and didn't want to get overpowered....so......... i came to the conlusion with the help of Randal at Hawaiian Kiteworks here in Orlando Florida.
On my first flight i had the help of Hawaiian Kiteworks and they started me out in their feild. The winds were proboly around 10-15 mph. Setting the kite up was a breeze with a little help. Unpacking the kite it looked to be in excelent condition, and very tightley seemed. The build quality for the money was excelent. For only paying $155 I thought that this was an excelent choice.
Now remember that I am a complete beginer. Getting the kite up was a chalange at first but if u don't secceed the first time then try try again. The one thing that i have noticed about launching this kite is that it dosen't want to go up vertically, u have to get it going horozontally first. Once launched I Really didnt no what to expect but i tell you. be ready because this kite packs a punch. It seemed to have a nice constant stream of power. Very nice. I didn't notice very much lift but lots of horozontal pull.
On my secont fkight the winds were 20-30 mph. This is a very powerfull kite in Strong winds. Being a beginer i was very nervous but decided to take it out anyways. WOW!!! I wasn't ready for this one. i was scudding before i new it. Thank God for the brakes! I did manage to get a few pendulem jumps and am gussing them 4-5 feet.
I have flown this kite in many diffrent conditions and am very impressed. I would highley recomend this kite for anyone who wants to get into this fun sport. I have had this kite for 4 months now and it has stood up to the abuse of me and all the people that i have tought to fly it. I have had one hole but i guess that it was time from the continuous crashes of people. Very strong kite. Again i would recoment it for someboady new into kiting. Very fun
