Anyone played with a Crossfire ii 8.0 or 10.0

I cannot seem to locate a good review of a Crossfire II 8.0 or 10.0 as a low wind jump kite. Anyone here spent any time with either of these?

Flying since 1999. Owned some big beasts back in the day (like a Jojo RM10) but they moved sooooo slow. Curious about the newer kites.

i hear the crossfires are built hell for stout, so even the 10m has a hard time getting off the ground in anything less than 5mph... check on the boards, acampbell did a flight comparison with the crossfire and some others... had lots of good info!

PL: Twister II 5.6m, Phantom 15m / 12m, 10m Synergy, JIBE Viper 5.3m, Charger 19m
HQ: Montana 4 12.5m, Apex 3 5m
Flexi: Blade ViP, Rage 1.8m \"lil Pepi!\"
FlexiFoot Bug / FlexDeck / MBS Core 95 / Custom Carbon Fiber MTH \"Monster Door\"
Corsair Crash Test Dummy (QC Suervisor :lol:
