Hey Carl, which is has more grunt the 19m CH1 or the 18m CH2?

There is a stark difference in the flight traits of the CH2 over the CH1 for sure. Much smoother, obviously more stable, but does it provide the "yank you out of your boots" power when one wants it or do you have to work it more to get that same effect?

Still thinking about replacing our 19m but not sure what to go with. Was thinking strictly Phantom 2's but after we got our Charger 2 I'm open to having a Charger in the mix at the lightwind end of the quiver.

ive still not really flown it i anger yet. ive only had 2 snow sessions with it so far and havent even took it to a beach yet so i cant really do a comparison. it does seem a more stable kite and abit tamer then the ch1 but whether thats taken away from the grunt im still to find out. hopefully i should get out this weekend if the rain stays away and ill be back on the landboard again.

I'm curious to see what you find. I sold my 12m CH1 so all I have to compare to is the PH2 12m.

The Ph2 does better upwind but I did not find much differenc beyond that before the wind shut off and the seesion ended.

Haven't been on it since.
