If anyone has flown one I would like to hear what you think.

Big Earl, did you check my post http://www.powerkiteforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=10508 ? It's probably not a buggy spot but it might work. I hope to see you there sometime.

I haven't flown the Radical, but did have a chance at the Pantera. At first the Pantera was sluggish, hard to launch and always wanted to turn to the right. After flying for a while I noticed the kite had different folds in the belly when sheeted out. Decided to investigate. Sure enough the bridle had a small problem that took disassembling the primary bridle most of the way to fix it.

Then I went back to launch it, it literally JUMPED off the ground and just about had me eating sand. It was fast and controllable and the power just about picked me up when sheeted in.

Then I got to buggy with it!

When I fly I push a kite to it's limits and beyond. Not only did the Pantera meet the challenge but it surprised me in several ways. It was still fast although not as much upwind ability compared to a RM+ but the advantage of shutting power off and turning it back on made playing in the dunes a dream. No more worries about getting yanked, etc... Overall, a great kite and very responsive.
