Hello all,
I'm relatively new to all this , so I'm looking for a bit of good advice.
I'm graduating from a radsail 1.5 and I recently had a go with a Xtrac 4.5 and was very impressed. I enjoyed skudding and hope to try jumping and
possibly buggying.
I'm not looking to spend a great deal, my budget is a very conservative £120 (ish) so I'm looking to pick up a bargain somewhere. I've checked a few
possibilities on-line and have come up with the following short list...
radsail pro 4 sq.m
HQ Beamer 5m
Firebee 4m
Firebee 5.5
Am I asking too much for my budget? Any comments on the list (or other suggestions) are very welcome.
Cheers,
Rob.

That is quite a bit for your budget, and if your lookin to jump, you really dont have anything in your list for that. I hear the firebees are very
good buggy kites though having never flown one myself.

I have the beamer 5m and use it for landboarding. Its a good kite, but probably not the best for jumping. It develops good power, is slow and
predictable. The new version also looks nice. I've jumped with it a bit and like the amount of lift it generates but I'm sure there are much better
kites for jumping.

So I'm just wondering if there is such a thing as a 'good all round kite'.
I'm getting itchy fingers here so I'll have to take the plunge soon.
thanks for the replies.
