the rage replaced the bullet... there were some changes, but I can't tell you what exactly even thought I have one of each

I can say though that the rage seem much more stable and it also tends not to fly over zenith to a stall like my bullet does.

The Rage is a new design, but with the same design objectives as the bullet - stable, low lift overhead, power flying fast down low in the window- they will appear similar. Yeah, the Rage is more refined but not so much to turn down a Bullet if a good deal came around.

As far as construction details, the Rage has dirt-outs in the wing tips and I forget whether or not the Bullet has them.

my bullet does not have dirt outs... I'd certainly wouldn't pass up a bullet at a good price. My kites are hard to compare because one is 2.5 and the other is 7; but both solid kites.

What's more fun, I've been able to fly my bullet in a 360 over my head
