New (to me) Frenzy 12m

So, all you Frenzy fliers.....tell me if I understand what I have got here. It appears that the Frenzy is a stable, fast and nimble flying machine that will surely be a fun freestyle playtoy. Am I right?

It's nice (thanks again Ben), very positive feeling...like it's not gonna do anything unexpected on you. Feels quite powerful at speed although I had a small space to play with today so 'm going on a bit of an assumption here. And it seems to like a fine balance of tension on the brakes. Not too much, not too little. I gather that in intended winds it'll be a air machine.

Not a big fan of the pre-megatron chickenloop but it's no worse than the Airush and Peter Lynn loops I've got on the other bars I fly.

Looking forward to some Coyote playtime once the snow melts off again. Maybe this weekend.

Glad to hear you are enjoying your new kite. :thumbup: :thumbup: to Ben as always.

FWIW: The Megatron Chicken Loop should be an easy retrofit for older Ozone bars and should be available through any Ozone dealer.

I liked my 11m Frenzy okay, but I never would have used the words "fast" or "nimble" when describing it.

I guess I should say in comparison with the Access line? It seems to be more responsive than the Access (size difference taken into consideration) and - given yesterday's wind - faster flying than the Access woulda been.

I had a 14 frenzy and had some good buggy sessions with it in very light winds. It can be lifty so if you use it in the buggy be cautious on your turns. I had a few OBE's with the 14m. The funny thing was a never hit hard I always hovered across the ground and then came down nicely ... just 30 - 40 feet from where I left the buggy :lol:

Would have made for an awesome video.

glad to hear you're enjoying it. I'm hoping the winds are favorable at Wildwood next weekend to take my new Frenzy FX for a spin, if I get the chance I'll add my thoughts to this thread...
