I find the Bullet 4.5m a bloody handful if we get a good blow here - usually it's gusty and the kite tends to luff a lot or jerk around, cos I'm
trying to baby it I think. Wobbling around on a landboard ...
So I been looking through the For Sale and there's a Sting 3.3, Bullet 3.5, Hornet 4 and a Rage 3.5 ... suggestions?
I got a Peter Lynn Vibe 2.3 but if the winds up, I'm by myself I have no idea how to land a 2-line foil I suppose I could just nose-dive it and stake it, make a run to the kite ...?

avoid the sting, its a twitchy little kite.... niot very efficient, either
the rage is a good beginner kite, and kept me entertainede for a long time.... very stable.... the 6m was my most flown kite in 2008
the bullet is pretty good, but the rage is better...
i know nothing of the hornet

Ta ...
Next question ... what are the sizings? The names of the sizes, I mean ...
Looks like PL sizes the kites off the flat area or wing span and Flexi off the ... :puzzled:
The 4m Hornet has a projected area of 3.4m ... bah I'm going to do search

I'll add my vote to the Rage. One of my all time favorites and the most used fixed bridle I own.

a bit off topic, but i also have the same problem, landing, and re-launching my 2 line foil. esppecially when its upside down or a bit twisted.

Kam:
Taking my viper on its maiden voyage today. From what I'm told, this thing will pull like a 3m, its stable, and a TON of fun to fly. Overall rated as
a good, stable engine from what I can find on it and the best part is: it won't break the bank! Ill update you after the flight....8 hrs of work b4 I
can launch
