Getting a toxic but it looks like I'll be getting only one.

Guess I need to choose between the three larger ones.

As much as I like the 8M, it would very rarely see air..
The 5M would have quite a bit of overlap with my 4M CrossfireII.
The 6.5 would see less air but would end up being the big dog for a while..

My quiver is below and unless something sells, I probably won't shift it around too much.. Flying is mainly static and some buggy.. Your thoughts please?? and Why??

A 5 meter would probably be your most used size. It was always a staple in the quiver when riding grass and the beach.

That yellow is pretty sweet!

Actually, all of the toxic colors look good.

The 6.5 would be useful for you up to about 12 and your 4.5 would be good above that. With that said, I'm looking at the 5 meter because I think it would be my goto kite for my conditions.

6.8 Viper S is my most used kite during the summer. 4.7 Rage or 5M Blurr are my most used kites during the rest of the year. I'm inland and if I want to do much flying or riding in the summer months then low wind machines are a must. Of course the 5M will be more fun because it will turn faster and will always have a place in your quiver since on average it will see more use than a larger FB kite.

I even have an 8.3 Reactor that comes out some during the summer months. That's for when I really want to salvage a kite day. Just some food for thought from an inland flyer with not the greatest winds.

I would get the 5M now because the big 'uns do come up in the FS section from time to time and you can find a nice big low wind machine that way. At least that was what worked for me.

I think the 6.5 would be fine to ride or fly static with up to 18 or so actually. I tend to fly a bit overpowered, but my 8m is a blast in 12-15.

Good point and That's exactly what I ordered today.. Thanks for the advice.. I'll keep my eyes open for the 8M if one ever hits the "For Sale" section

it 5 and the between 6.5 considerable the difference . the 5 much more nervous ones , I do not like using it with a bar only with banana can it be treated :evil: and not only the force of wind .
but without the 8 ??? important size ! - if my shoulder gets into order once , I buy it to immediately

I have a Flexifoil bar that I've never even used. I'm strictly the quad handle type. (a control freak if you will ) The 8 is in my future, it's just a matter of when..

Cant wait to see that kite!

While I love all the colors of them, the 3, 5, and 8m are the best looking of the bunch for what it's worth

You have a 4.5 so the 6.5 ...

You have a 4.5, so the 6.5 ....
