Great vid as allways. Wish I had a place like that.

Looks really floaty! Can you compare and contrast with the Charger?

i actually flew both on the day so ill give it a quick go.
for what i want out of a kite, ive got to say charger wins 1-0.
for stability and being rock solid - phantom 1-1
for turning speed it has to be the charger 2-1
for bar pressure the charger has the lighter but the phantom can be felt better so no real winner 3-2
ease of launch has to go to the phantom as can be launched when not fully inflated 3-3
float and hangtime has to go to the charger as you can redirect faster 4-3
for use at speed or in a buggy has to go to the phantom. it builds apparant wind really easy. 4-4
wind range, well thats a difficult one as i found the phantoms to be "small sized" so i probably could hold down the phantoms in higher winds but id still have roughly the same power from the charger in slightly less winds. 5-5
so overal they both have their good points but if i had to have just one kite it would be the 19m charger.

Good to hear this. Still haven't been able to fly the new 6m P2. If that holds true for the 6m size, it will be a high wind demon. Fastfastfast!!!

Great vid, good review! Helpful thanks
