In the fore sale section the two ozones, I'd like to get some opinions on them. Anyone have first hand experience with Ozone Little Devils? How do they compare to the beamer? I'm new to the sport and I'm sure at this price these would be perfect, not only for myself but for the whole family to learn on, what do you all think?

Thanks!

The little Devil is well named . Very snappy kite that will spank you if you don't stay on top of it. Not near as gentle as the beamer but a very good kite. Like all Ozone it is well made and flies well.

If you are looking for a super tame entry in to kites this may not suit but it is still an O.K. choice if you are a bit more daring .

How to they compare to the Flow line?

these kites must be a 8 year old model by now, maybe look at something newer

No need to look at 'something newer.'

Little Devils are an awesome kite to learn on and will still perform well enough that you may prefer to keep them as your hi-wind buggy engines in the smaller sizes. They are a lower aspect kite, so they turn quickly and don't tend to overfly the window. The build quality is excellent. My son, now 11, learned to fly a four line fixed bridle when he was 6 or 7 using a 1.5m Little Devil Stunt. I also had a 2m and 3m, which he flies and i have given to my 72 year old father, who flies them.

At $100/ each, complete, what are you waiting for? Enough said...

never tried a Samurai or Flow.
i thought i had read that the Flow, which replaced the Samurai (I and II)which replaced the LD, is designed more to fly like the original LD and not the latter Samurai. i could be wrong.
anyways my 4.5 LD was the only foil i had when i first started buggying 3 seasons ago. i used it in winds up to 40-ish+ kp/h winds.
like i said it was the only kite i had. in 40-ish kp/h it was more than a hand full and inspired me to figure out what kite killers were and buy some.
in normal winds it was fine/fun.
at 100 each RTF there is little reason for anyone beginner looking to build up a quiver not to buy them. if i did not already have a bunch of NPWs as loaners/newby fodder i would take them.
i'd say the BR is on the money with his description.
kite will be tame as jello when flown in your normal wind range.

I would highly recommend snatching the Little Devils up.

They are perfect kites to learn on and have more than enough power for buggying and boarding (land). The Little Devil is an older design but Ozone gear is top of the line and as long as they are not damaged then they will fly perfectly and work well for you. The price they are asking is WAY TO CHEAP and even if you decided later on to move up to a higher aspect ratio kite, you could sell them for the same price pretty easily. I am shocked that they haven't sold yet.

I still use a LD 1.5 Stunt as my high wind engine and my daughter still buggies with her 2 and 3 meter Little Devils. These kites can take a ton of abuse and still keep on going.

The Little Devils are very tame kites when flown in the recommended wind ranges, super stable, easy to control and very smooth power delivery that is perfect to learn on. Pick them up and I am sure you will be stoked about them!

Thanks for all the advice. I've come to the conclusion that at the price listed as long as the kites fly they are a good deal. I've taken the both of them and possibly the 5 meter Beamer as well. I have a 3 meter Beamer and love it.
