O.K. this is my second review of the Ace 3.5m but first review of the Blaze 3m.
All flying done static!!! for apx 2.5 hrs today.
Alright the Ace 3.5m is absolutely amazing in the amount of pull this thing has. Its like being a puppet at the bottom of these kites that you can
control (well a little bit). Not putting down the control of the kite because it turns inside itself (axis is in the middle of the kite) when brakes
are used. The kite is fast and maneuvers where ever directed, very aggressive and acquires you to be the same. Honestly fun as hell... IMO beautiful
flying kite for the price, it's gotta be the best bang for your buck. I flew in apx 6/8 to gusting to 12 mph winds. Kinda dirty due to houses up wind.
Now as for the Blaze 3m its a higher wind kite and in comparison to the Ace it pulls like a little girl on a Green Machine with pink tassels. Non
comparable it pulls like a team of horses in the correct wind range. It does not have the lift that the Ace has but still is a great kite and
unbelievably fun to fly, more of an entertainment kite than a power/traction kite. I think a Blaze 5m and 7m are in order for a complete Blaze quiver.
These are great fun for the timid and newbie flier, and for the more experienced flier that can handle a 5 or 7 meter in higher winds. The graphics
are a knock out, totally Hot Rod... Probably more appropriate for the Ace.
As for an Ace quiver... I must say... what sizes don't I have, then fill in the blanks. Ace is becoming my middle name, I really really like them,
maybe love'm!!!!
Yeah... maybe in the future I'll come across a few kites I like a little better and they'll cost a bazillion dollars but at that time if its a kite
I can't live without then I'll have to save my bazillions!!! Till then I'm gonna have the most complete Pansh Ace quiver possible... Yeah... I want
the 2m, 2.5m, 4.5m, 6m,7m, 8m, 12m and whatever else I can get my hands on.
Not that I can fly them by myself, I usually go out with family or friends, today there was 3 of us. My brother-n-law, a friend and excited ol me. It
was fun to watch them fly the Blaze but hilarious to watch them fly the Ace... there wasn't enough wind to pick anyone up but enough to yank them
forward a few steps or more with ease. But I defiantly heard a lot of "oh #@%$#!" and "holly f's". At one point I did smell manure but there's a
stable near by, strange though... it was down wind... who knows!!!
Good winds everyone...
Screwy
P.S. Dlish is without a doubt the drug... I mean "Kite" dealer of all time, absolutly a pleasure to deal with.
"THANX DLISH!!!"

Forgot to mention about the Blaze 3m when unpacking and setting up the brake bridle lines had apx a 2 foot or so pigtail on it. I rigged it up on the
end of the pigtail and thats a "no go"... way too slack. After 2 tries I moved and tied a knot up apx a foot-n-a half. Still I think I'm gonna go to
the top if not remove the pigtail. From what I understand thats par for course on these Blaze's.
Still once done makes it "all go" with a little show...

I really think my next kite will be an Ace, probably a 6 or 7 meter one for those light wind days we usually have here.

That might be a little much for your experience level. Aces are really strong and lifty, 3m pulls like a 4m, 4m like a 5m, so on and so fourth. Just
keep this in mind

How much do you weigh Matt? A 5m ace is quite alot of fun. It turns faster than a 6 too, with a wider wind range. It has plenty of lift if you are
under 250 lbs. 5m hoisted me right off the ground, and I'm 235. The 6m is strong enough to break a leg.

But it all depends on the wind you're flying in correct? 
SCREWYFITS - 4-4-2008 at 04:00 PM
Correct... wind matters!!!
Just keep in mind that the Ace's are very aggressive and the sizing IMO is more like 3.5m equal to a 5m and 5m equal to a 7m and so on. If you aim a
lil small you can't go wrong!!! Hope you nab one or more up you'll enjoy... Look up Dlish for Pansh he'll treat you right.
Be safe, Screwy

Wow, maybe I need to look at the smaller ones. I weigh 135 lb. :tumble:
I don't plan on buying another kite until I get very comfortable with my Beamer. So we're talking quite a few months, especially with the infrequent
winds we get here.
