I had the opportunity to fly the PL Hornet 3M.I static flew for several hours in winds ranging from 9-12 MPH. Comparing it to my HQ Beamer III & the 3 M Ozone Cult, I found it to be predictible and stable. It reminded me of the 2 lin kites I started out with. I definately would have saved time & money if I would have had the Hornet then. I would highly recommend this kite to anyone starting out. Ir offers enough of a challenge to prepare you for the next level of your journey. I also tried the Hornet w/my buggy. What a pleasant surprize that was! It was a bit slow to power up but it is smooth and steady. It doesn't come on with a WHAM! Where I live the winds are often unpredicatble and puffy, but the Hornet stayed right there. It pulled me 7 my buggy through soft sand, up the dunes and back again. This is a kite you can always rely on, even when you are flying at a more advanced level.

wait a minute .... did you steal your ladies kite ??? Don't make me call her :rolleyes:


And +1 on the hornet it is a great kite. Definitely one of the best lower aspect kites out there and hard to beat the price.

RRR you tried the 3 metre and f0rgiv3n your signature says you are flying a 2 metre Hornet. So how do they compare?

I would like to get either a two or three metre Hornet keeping in mind that I already have a Ozone Little Devil 3 metre on its way....guess that kind of provides an answer to my question...might be good to go with the 2 metre in the PL then, right? What do you guys think?

thanks,
Erin

Yes, I'd say a 2meter would fit better with the 3m LD.

Erin.....I think you would be OK with Hornet 3m with the fly experince that you have.
