:thumbup: the most fun in a single chunk of ripstop I've got!

But the style, skills, weight of the flyer, the site, and the prevailing winds will all work together to make it so one kite might be better at one time, and another kite better in different conditions. Hard to say one kite is better across the board.

But a kite that's flying well powered in it's sweet spot? That's a different consideration....

Well, I've only flown one blade, so I can't add to the discussion really, just muddy things up a bit as above.



fixed bridles, flying static, been two years now... ??? folks must be wondering....

sting 1.7, dp power 2.5, crossfire 3.2, ace 5, blade iv 6.5, ace 8, ace 12...

also a couple of arcs, 12 syn and 12 phanny, but i\'m not yet up to speed on them.

My vote is the IV of course :smilegrin:. Powerful, refined, stable, fast. The list of good traits is endless:smilegrin:. I don't think there are too many people who regret getting one but many say they should have never sold the one they had.

I got mine from tridude, and he posted exactly that a few months later.
