nice vid, decent prices.erratic winds - 13-10-2011 at 05:58 PM
Decent prices, shape of the kite really reminds me of the Flexifoil Sabre. Vids are better with helmets... Very clean looking bar, but the
placement of the trim straps looks tough for a short-armed person.
Can't wait to hear some user reviews, dig the fact that they've got a fully-featured 4m!silvereaglekiter - 13-10-2011 at 06:01 PM
wow 4 m depower that's smallindigo_wolf - 13-10-2011 at 06:19 PM
Wow.... really interesting bridle attachment. Don't think I have seen that before. Have thought about something like that for other applications,
but not for a kite.
There are no attachment tabs for the bridle. Each rib and the trailing edge has its own continuous piece of webbing.

Would be a pain to replace (repair would be easier), but nice to see out of the box thinking. Of course, the might be assuming that this method would
actually reduce the chance of failure.
Kind of interesting that there is essentially one kite in the product line and each size gets a different name. Wainman is the only other company I
can think of off the top of my head that does something similar.

Current HQ Apex III is available in 3M for ballistic winds. :o

from the web site, we can read some bit difference in the design for each size, as 12m is designed with LW in mind, while 6m more for stabilityindigo_wolf - 13-10-2011 at 07:45 PM

No distributors N.American or otherwise listed. Currently looks like direct purchase is possible.
No contact information or method of contact provided other than an online contact form (always a pet peeve).

Fair enough.... just hard to tell from the website if they do any tweaks to the aspect ratio or cell count for the various sizes.

Heh ... that looks like the "Stunt Kites" bridle attachment method ...Bladerunner - 14-10-2011 at 06:50 AM
It is nice to see that they don't claim the 12m will work under 5 kts. Makes me trust them. 10m looks to have a nice range !
The reduced bridle is always a good thing to explore.
