yeah too heavy

I didn't really like the lines on my 2.2. Too stretchy, or something, and not slick enough. Way preferred my PL lines on that kite! Much more crisp and responsive feeling...

Of all the kites I have sold, this is a first for me. I actually made up a few dozen line sets with that line material.
Maybe I should print the results of the line material test I did, I know that would rock the kite world and the line companies too.(maybe at a later date)

Maybe that's not what I'm feeling, I don't have tons of different lines to compare to. Sorry, i didn't mean to talk badly about them.
If I spun the kite several times, and then tried to spin the other way, there was a noticeable lag. With the other lines, it just responded quicker. It is still a joy to fly! I just assumed it was from stretch and friction.
Maybe it's just because I'm used to my old ones, and I just need to "learn" these more! I was reading a review, and that was the way they described it, so I figured that was what I was noticing.
I was talking about this in another thread, I hope I didn't mislead anyone because of my lack of knowledge.
I would be very curious about the differences in lines, my day job is basically tying knots in strings, and I find the whole world of cordage interesting....

Jeff, are talking about the yellow line? I agree it is a good line, I still have it on the 3.3 Buster and it performed very well at 48 MPH. but it does seem heavier than the lines you sent for the Centuries and I assumed the Century line would be a little more high performance. I also want to clarify that the yellow line is indestructible and is the proper choice for a RTF kite. I was only thinking of switching to gain a little performance at speed is all. I haven't noticed any more or less bind in multiple twists but I try not to twist more than once or twice anyway. Jeff, looking forward to your line comparisons.

Did a little flying today in Va Beach. Really like the Buster Soulfly PRO 4.4. I can't wait to ride my TRAMPA with it. I love to carve,and this kite will be perfect for what i like to do.

^ nice!! Can't wait to see that ride in person!

I have been a bit slow, rather slow, NO, down right to busy having a blast to catch up with posts.

I used the 3.3 to tour the beach from the water tower to the stores the other day. With the off shore, shifting all over the place, punchy as all heck, zero to way to much wind, I was pleasantly surprised at the kite. It was able to eat the gusts and stay under control. When the wind powered up so did the kite.
I had to work the kite at times and let the kite run a few times but after the run up and down the beach, I passed the kite to a few others and heard the same remarks. Only wish they would have kept the kite out of the water and whale slime. I can always hang the kites on the truck at the car wash after Jibe is over.:D

JIBE, I have flown the 3.3 and today the 4.4. Great fun kites, stable, good performance. I flew the 3.3 on Wed. When we had very unstable off shore switching to South winds. It was a blast. I had been flying my 6 m century most of the day and Jeff had he 3.3 set up. I was still able to buggy with it and had a ball. Could go anywhere I wanted to go. Not as fast as my 6m but much more stable. I no longer had to worry.
Flew the 4.4 today in good on shore with a hint of southerly. Had my 8 m up all day and went out and played with the 4.4. Again had a blast. These new pros are a delight. Fun and performance. Maybe Saturday I'll have an opportunity to see what they are like in winds that are normally suited for a 3 or 4 m. But when you can buggy in light winds and have so much fun with a small kite why wait.

Congratulations, the winner of the Buster here at Jibe last night needs to chime in and post his thoughts
And if anyone recorded the parking lot/sidewalk demonstration, PLEASE POST IT. It is a must see, wont forget that for a long time. still laughing.........
