The 5.6PL of a 5m Ace.

Im pretty sure this is like comparing apples to oranges but I figured I would ask anyhow.

Is the PL Better in gusty winds?
How does the lift compare between the two?

Im in the market to get a kite again and instead of skimping with the Ace I could stretch it to buy a twister or aybe a twister 2.

Differences between the original or II?

5m Ace for raw power and price. Mine would fly and produce incredible power but would collapse easily. I never got the timeing right on the redirected and it always collapsed when I landed. Usually it would float into the powerzone and open back up yanking me arround. It was not very stable and I wouldn't buy another.

5.6m twister II had a little less power but was more stable. I tried it on a pass from Dakitez at least a year and a half ago. I had no problems redirecting it and had nice floaty jumps. I think it was built better. I trusted it more and enjoyed it more. I would consider buying one but I mainly fly depower now.

I've flown both quite a bit, don't own either But I perfer the twister hands down. The 7 is a beast, if you want tojump but it is _A_LOT_ of kite. It's a serious it can kill you kite. Let me qualify this my saying that my goto kite is a 19m Venom The 4 also packs a punch and I think turns somewhere around 12-15 for my 200#.

Thanks guys. The more time I spend on here the more I think I may be looking for a depower though to try out.

I started out with a Beamer3m a few years back and then had the Ace 5m and loved the lift it produced. Bought a ATB and ended up having to sell everything when trying to come up with some money to buy a house. Now Id live to get a ATB and get moving again and get up in the air haha

twister no doubt for all the same reasons mentioned above. I would also like to add longevity to the list as well as re-sale. If you ever wanted to sell either of these kites you will have to almost give away the ace to get rid of it. I think some in the past went for around $60- $70. This is a problem with pansh. They will charge you $200 for that kite today, but then tomorrow offer some stupid deal of buy one and get one free. Thats all great if you get in on the deal, but if you don't you just lost loads on resale.

Also over a short period of time there is a real possibility of bridle stretch and the kite not flying correctly on the ace. Not to mention the lines and handles they come with.

So when you figure in all that is the ace really that good of a deal?

I actually bought my Ace from you a few years back Dino! Must say it was a fun kite. If I remember correctly it was one of your personal ones so it had some adjustments the the bridals already done

see then I am a couple years ahead of you on kite choices and selection

want to jump into a montana VI or blade V and catch up :puzzled::P

I cant afford to catch up. I need to live in the past for a while lol. Just bought a house in October and our baby girl was born last Tuedsay...lol. Its no longer just my money

Twister II it is then :singing:

I feel ya ... I know all about "OUR" money
