What can I expect (performance wise, range, stability, etc) with the 3m Libre Bora II?

I'm not sure there was a 3m Libre Bora II...was there ?

I have the 2.5 and 3.7 Bora II. If you've flown race kites before then you'll love these. You'll find them very stable and easy to fly. I think they were the first kites to have an adjustable angle of attack but I remember it being complicated to do, especially with the badly translated German to English instruction sheet. Maybe it was just me.

In the right hands the Bora will complete 5 or 6 complete turns before your fastest inflatable does just one.
