Beamer family...

Been looking online (and searching the forum :thumbup:) for what changes and/or improvements were made from the original beamer to the beamer 2, to tsr, to beamer 3... anyone have a brief or links? I've found reviews but nothing that really spells out the differences.

The TSR does not fit in that geneology as it is (was) a different kite, on a bar.

Improvements on the Beamer III over the II that I can think of...
Line set color-coded for left and right.
Bridles looped and sewn, not knotted.
Bridles stiffer, sleaved and colored.
Handles are the newer fully padded and color coded left and right.
Updated sail and profiles for refined performance.

With the III, didn't they drop down the weight of the 'fabric' as well from 1oz to 3/4oz...Lighter sail but just as durable?
