I am looking for a high wind kite to fit below my 5m Tensor. I am fairly certain I want something higher aspect, but nothing twitchy like a vapor. I
think the best size would be a 2.8-3m kite similar to the Toxic or Reactor. Does anyone have some overlapping sizes they want to shed? This will be
exclusively for buggy/static.BeamerBob - 30-10-2013 at 11:58 AM
I must say my 2.7m Vapor isn't really twitchy. It really stays pointed where I want it to. Smaller sizes can increase the variability, or really
punchy wind that changes direction often might make things too unpredictable, but in decent wind, most would be surprised at how stable the Vapor is.
This isn't like race kites from 8-10 years ago.Demoknight - 30-10-2013 at 12:37 PM
I would have to fly a small Vapor to decide if I want to buy one. I haven't held any handles of a Vapor before though. I always seem to find videos
where they look like angry little hornets or something that zip around and jerk arms out of sockets.abkayak - 30-10-2013 at 12:56 PM

PKD Century II 2.8m or 3.5m It's like a race kite with manners.Demoknight - 30-10-2013 at 02:19 PM
I really like the looks of those. Red especially. Anyone have a cpmplete PKD Century 2.8?WELDNGOD - 30-10-2013 at 04:14 PM
Vapors are not twitchy, they track like a rocket and will terrify you with their speed.
Especially the small ones, be careful of these. Awesome engines, but leave these for the experienced pilots.
Often when the wind is really high some will fly an easier flying kite because it will be easy to control and go up wind fine and be much more
enjoyable and safer to fly.

Yep. This kite like a lot of them are sold as "Kite only".
A set of handles and lines can be added without any problem. er a just one problem.....what length of lines do you want? I have them from 5m up to
91.4m,(I recommend the large size handles with anything over 45m).Demoknight - 31-10-2013 at 08:28 AM
For such a small kite I would never fly longer than 30m. I would most likely want lines between 20-30m. I am leaning towards 25m.WELDNGOD - 31-10-2013 at 01:26 PM

I have a 3m Toxic that I absolutely love.....you cannot have mine but they are available new for less than 400 bonesDemoknight - 5-11-2013 at 10:08 AM
I was thinking for that size range I would like to stick with $300 or less. I would love a Toxic, as I have the 8m Toxic already, and would like to
have a 3m and 5m Toxic to fit below it. I am considering used first to save some money, but if enough time passes, I may end up going new anyway.k kites - 26-12-2013 at 10:29 AM

HQ CrossfireII is a great kite.. (predecessor for the Toxic) High Aspect and AOA adjustable..
I've heard nothing but Good Things about the Peter Lynn Voltage as well. They'd be a little harder to find used though..kitemaker4 - 26-12-2013 at 03:49 PM
If the winds are inland and gusty I would go with a nasa wing.
