I like what I have seen of this kite so far. Not sure how it compares next to some of the Ozone or HQ depower foils, but I have heard mostly good
things.markite - 5-2-2015 at 02:43 PM
I'll bring some down to JIBE along with a few other new kites for you to try out ErrolDemoknight - 5-2-2015 at 02:44 PM
Oh awesome! You are a bad influence as it is, making me lust after my that 22.5m Charger...cheezycheese - 5-2-2015 at 05:07 PM
Sweet video Carl !!! probably my favorite of your productions. Dig the
360 pan. How heavy is the jib on your head..? soliver - 5-2-2015 at 05:44 PM
Carl are you liking the Leopard any more or less than your CH2s... Curious how they compare?B-Roc - 5-2-2015 at 06:00 PM

I too am interested in your impression. Nice looking kite and you seem to be boosting just fine. Can you describe its characteristics and safety?skimtwashington - 5-2-2015 at 08:34 PM
How the heck was that 360 around the buggy done @ 1:23...?markite - 5-2-2015 at 09:06 PM

watch his shadow on the ground during the 360 view (hint: look at the shadow from the top of his helmet around 1:25)carltb - 6-2-2015 at 03:15 AM
the jib is about 1.5m long and is made from pvc pipe so that bit is really light but the total weight depends on the weight of the camera and the
counter weight.
the charger and the leopard are like apples and oranges and I had to change the way I fly slightly to get the most out of the leopard. the technique
is pull the bar in to turn and send it, then as it climbs, let the bar out. as it reaches the zenith pull the bar in and up you go!
the safety is a one line 5th line #@%$#! out that goes to its own bridal. ive only tested it in really low winds when I first got the kite just to
check the new push away release on the new bar.
the landing handle works brilliantly. ive used this when I was really over powered and it drops the kite straight away taking 90% of the power from
the kite when its on the ground.
I liked the 13.5m so much ive also just got a 9m to complete the quivercheezycheese - 6-2-2015 at 05:44 PM
What did you use for the swivel on the jib..? carltb - 7-2-2015 at 02:38 AM
this is similar to how I made mine except I bolted 2 castors together and fastened a gopro mounting buckle to the bottom one. this way you don't have
to drill the helmet and its detachable and if you wipe out badly, this is the weak spot where it will give
