Hello guys, I know I just started with kitebuggying (well... I didn't even have my first ride actually...) but I'd like to have your feelings about
this two kites: the PKD Century II and the PeterLynn Reactor II
Which one do you think performs better especially in low/medium winds? I read a comment made by John Holgate about the Century 2.8 saying that it
pulls as much as the Ozone Method 4 and even more... So is it true also compared to the Reactor, meaning same pull with less Flat Area?
I'm not buying it in the near future, first I have to practise a lot, but I like to start thinking about it in advance herc - 28-1-2012 at 11:19 AM
what is low - wind for you?
i once saw a very low wind race - the only kites still in the air were a flysurfer speed3 21 sqm and a 10.8 sqm reactor II. the reactor II looked like
more fun than the big monster 21sqm speed3. wind was probably 4-6 knots.romanbuggy - 28-1-2012 at 01:31 PM

Don't know about PKD, but I have Beamer Bob's old 5.5 ReactorII and it is by far the best motor in the fleet in 8-12,15 tops MPH.Smooth as silk.Bladerunner - 28-1-2012 at 04:36 PM
The Method takes a bit of wind from what I have heard so the size defference makes sense. It isn't a race kite.
The Original Century was a full on race kite and I think the II is as well ? Of those 2 a beginer might find the Reactor II a bit more forgiving /
rewarding. Still giving you a competetive kite for getting speed up.romanbuggy - 28-1-2012 at 04:56 PM
Thank you all, especially to bladerunner, you made the difference between the two kites more clear to me. :D
