Well ive been flying powerkites some 18months now , and decided to improve my quiver & over the last couple of months my kites have improved to 2m oxi.3.2 oxi pro,4moxi,5moxi pro,6.2 oxi pro & 7.8 oxi pro.
Boy just after a days flyin ive really fell in love with these kites they are so smooth , deliver so much power and the build quality second to none.
The 2m & 3.2m are fitted with power rings which im not a great deal appreciated of them so i disconnected them, they are very fast kites and dont like gusts in land as they tend to shoot out of the window with enormous speed but on a beach with constant wind they love it ive just returned from the beach having flown my 2m in 37mph and it pulled like a steam train was hitting very fast speed runs with just the kite parked 10ft off the ground facing the way im traveling with out having to Louvre's the kite.
The 3.2m is a little bit more forgiving and easier to control but likes a little tweak on the breaks now & then so has to keep it where required in the window for that maximum power.
cThe 4m i only tried for about 30mins and i was over powered picking up speed very quickly and having to find it hard to hold my 85kilos buggy in a straight line as it was pulling the back end around slightly - conclusion cant wait to fly this in a 20mph wind.
The 5m & 7.8 oxi pro are made from a much lighter material & waterproof to a certain extent but ownly flown these myself inland so have not had the feeling of them on a beach in constant wind but inland they are also great kites for freestyle as well they have a certain amount of lift in the right wind with a very smooth take off & landing .
on comparison my 5m is nearly as good as my 7 mtr buster 1 . As for the 7.8 well i can buggy in very low winds from the start of 5mph wind while i could not even get to move in my 7 mtr buster.
My 6.2 mtr can not comment on yet cuz i'm just awaiting delivery of it now but cant wait try it out, i will let u know soon as.
Ive been very lucky to compare these kites and fly them at the same time with my quiver of different make of kites of same or similar size b4 i sold them.
They are great kites to upgrade to, or if you simply want to improve your skills and have learnt the basics.
