I think I have seen them being used in some of the videos of Euro buggy races. Woody probably could tell us more.

It will smoke your Manta and feel like cheating.

Hi there,

The Mk 1 Chrono was used heavily last year for buggy racing across Europe as was the R1.

They are fantastic kites for buggying but like any race kite they will take a little bit of getting used to when flying.

At first they will feel like they try to fly out of the window, this is because they want to and take you with them.

It won't feel as stable as your Manta but it will be a lot more fun that is for sure.
Once you have flown a High Aspect Ratio depower kite in a buggy you won't look back. The wind range is awesome, you can soak up the gusts fly almost directly upwind and you can fly like a bat out of hell.

I was used to flying FB race kites and I found that the chrono was certainly easier to fly than them.
I am currently using Chrono 2's for my Buggying and think they are the dogs rear wheels. They are extremely stable as well as being quick.

hope this helps.

Woody
