Flexifoil Bullet

Broken Bob - 20-3-2003 at 06:07 AM

I have just bought a flexifoil bullet 2.5m so I have something to fly in those higher winds. All I can say is WOW. These kites may not be the biggest on the market or the most expensive but for size to pull ratio they perform brilliantly. They really do live up to their names though achieving a good speed accross the window, this can make them a bit tricky for buggies or boarders (as I found out). But as my main interest at the moment is jumping I very impressed to be getting 10' - 15' high jumps out of such a little kite. To put it into perspective I easily reached 22' using a 4m blade 2 on the same day, but it was a struggle to keep it under control.

10-15' OUT OF A 2.5 BULLET?? are you sure you dont mean 1-5' I own almost the whole set of bullet kites and even in blowing out of controll beach wind with a 7 meter bullet have never even got higher than 11' ...

the Bullet is a great kite, but its a reduced lift kite, not designed for lift no 15' jumps here, just for high amounts of pull....
great buggy or atb kite.....
