Been looking to get my first propper kite and alot of the adverts say the kite is still crispy etc..
BUT i've also been looking at a few (a couple of bullets) where the seller has said they are not still crispy.
So, my question is, what benefit is there to having a crispy kite?
Do they fly better? are they more stable? Any difference at all?
Any feedback welcome
Thanks,

Crispy means pretty much like new- very crinkly. Not crispy means they have been well flown but still have some life left in them. If it is a
smokin' deal, it would still probably be worth while. Ask the seller for an honest opinion of the kite's condition and flyability.oOTomOo - 12-10-2009 at 03:24 AM
Ok, so non crispy isnt the be all and end all. They all say they fly fine.
I've been looking at a 2.5 and a 3.5 Bullet, both for around the £100 mark
and an Ozone Cult that has been used twice for £110
Think i'm going to try and stretch to the Cult, just have to see how much wonga is left closer to pay day.

Just make sure the kite flies properly when you get it.
I made the mistake of not knowing what to expect from my first power kite in terms of performance
By the time I realized that it had been "flown out" when I got it, it was too late to really make a fuss about it.
However, I think the vast majority of people on this forum are very considerate and honest about the condition of the kites they sell - so you don't
really have much to worry about.WIllardTheGrey - 12-10-2009 at 11:07 PM
+1 for the Cult I have a 3.5 and love it in 15-25 wind with the buggy.
