the wind dragon buggy range the newest name in kite buggying. The buggy's are brilliant build quality and at the same price as a flexi but in my opinion and others, better build quality and better value for money. Have a look and see what you think
cheers

p.s if you see a buggy on ainsdale with a red and blue seat please come and have a look ask for dave . I fly a 3m pkd buster and a 5m radsail pro.

I looked over the site and pictures, Im just wondering what makes this a better buggy than the flexi? Im not trying to disagree, I would just like some more comparisons. I like educated information, and would like a few more details.

Thanks

ye well i find the metal stronger and because its new free upgfrades are avalible from him and i find that the flexifoil ones sitting a bit too high off the ground it just dosent feel right (but thats my opinion

I personally dont think the Flexi sits too high, but you do not sit low enough in the seat. Looks like you set just about like a Libre in this new buggy. I would question the quality of the seat, just looks a litte cheap. Could be great though. Hard to tell from a picture. I would say it would be also hard to judge which buggy has better metal just from looking. I have not heard of anyone bending a flexifoil buggy, and many people use them for jumping. The only downfall to jumping a flexi buggy is that you can bend the wheel bolts on the rear. I would like to see them go to the 20mm bolts like the Libre. Not a bad looking buggy though.

well a good thing about this buggy all models come with 16mm bolts and i think a 6cm axel this is just my opinion and others on the beach but different people have different opinions. i just find seeing a flexi and comparing it with this one the flexi just seems a bit less stronger than the wind dragon

dave jones - 23-8-2004 at 05:18 AM

just because it is coloured and not black dosent mean its cheap it cost about 40 pound to make and because its new free upgrades and the bonus of this buggy the padding

@dave jones.
How often do you go to ainsdale or southport beach for buggying, I am thinking of buying a buggy for my son and myself. send pic of the one you have for sale, I might be interested . I have never buggied before but have a couple of 4 line kites that I fly from time to time and get pulled allong on my feet (buster4.0 and skybums mirage 2.5mtr)
I prefer the buster ,I only fly in light winds cos I dont want to get dragged away:lol::lol:.
How busy does it get on ainsdale beach,( is that the one near the bird sanctuary ?).
would you be interested in letting me have a go or showing me how its done with yours so I know what it is like.
I live in rochdale and can get to formby in an hour depending on traffic.

PS: my son is 23 and I am 59(pretty fit)

if the bolts are 16mm what is the internal bearing size as as far as I know bearings are 12,15 and 20mm internal bore

dave jones - 3-3-2006 at 03:52 PM

16mm bearings i think! odd sizes but the fella who makes the buggies would send a new set quite cheaply if needed

dave jones - 5-3-2006 at 10:27 AM

buggy now sold!great buggies ppl better build than a flexi
