If you really need a 2m, I'd recommend the Hornet, Beamer, or a PL Viper if you can find one. Angus still has a screaming good deal on the PKD Buster
Soulfly at the Coastal site as well.

Thanks all!
I still can't decide... I'm waiting for a too good deal to fall.
Do the busters fly worth a darn? I have been burned on off brand kites.

Off brand? Do they fly worth a darn?

Haven't flown the Buster, but have flown the Brooza and the Combat. PKD is not an "off-brand" kite. They do very well on the European competition
circuit. A tad less well known in the USA.
While their distribution network is not as extensive as HQ or Ozone, that is not a reflection on their quality.
If I had any kind of nit, my only issue with their gear is that I wouldn't count on the ground stakes that come with the RTF package. They look like
the ones that came with the Brooza RTF package which always struck me as being a bit weak. However, I have no shortage of kite stakes so that was
never a concern for me.
ATB,
Sam
P.S.
Jeff (BigKid) is the US distributor for PKD....

Sam, Funny you should bring up the kite stake issue. Working on that as I was reading your post. Yes the stakes suck. I am looking at a new pair as I
type. Next week the new ones will go out instead of the old style.

Nope! Deffo NOT an off brand kite. Top notch actually. Just more well known in europe. The Busters are great kites,and they get better as the wind
builds. A 2.2m PKD CentII is another sweet and powerful kite when the winds get up.

Hi again
Thanks for the Intel!
I can tell busters have a passionate following! By no means did I intend insult, I just never heard of them.
Still looking though
Thx again

The HQ Beamer is probably the most recommended, but PKD is a high quality manufacturer as well and the Buster stands out because it is a complete
package for such a great price.
Any kite mentioned in this thread can be bought with confidence. If someone suggested a kite that isn't really all that great, several would offer
their dissenting opinion to warn you.

what do you want this kite to be used for? This info will help people point you toward the right kite. It sounds like you have already found out that
the cheapest kite is not so much the right kite. I would focus a little less on the cheapest kite and focus on the right kite for what you want to use
it for. Figure out exactly what kite you want then you can search for the best deal.
All the kites mentioned are good kites, but if you want a 2m to set a personal best speed in a buggy than they are not it. If you want a stable more
entry level kite then those all fit your needs.
