I look at the pictures and it seems it might be harder to see the trailing edge and how your brakes are playing on it ? That white sort of makes it go away ?

Any word on a production date?

I wonder if the Combat will hold value the way the Centuries did or if they are about to become a good deal?

This was the first Proto so don't hold your breath on production models yet.

Like I have said before, no one is going to throw a new race kite on the market untill they know that it can compete with the Vapor. So all the manufactures have alot of work to do. Plus Peter Lynn is not going to just sit back and watch.

Here in Europe it is already very hard to sell used Combats, so if you want some check the European market, you can get great deals here.

Pilot skills also plays a big part. What good is a race kite if you can't drive it?

Also PL has all the best pilots from each country on Vapors this season. Hahaha.
