I have asked Pansh kites to let me be the one to bring a pass the Pansh offer to the PKF.
First off ,I am NOT affiliated w/ Pansh in any way . Other than the fact that I do have and fly some Pansh kites. And I understand that they have made alot of changes and are getting alot better,that IS why I want to bring this to our community.
To see for ourselves if Pansh is a good kite or not. It will run just like all the other pass programs. But NO brand new members,this is for existing /known members in good standing only. And please, NO Pansh haters. If ya don't like em period, then just don't bother.

The 2 kites that Pansh will offer us for this are a 4m Flux p5v and a 6.1m FIRST p2v.

here is the only link I could find to show the FIRST http://www.panshkite.com/index.php?gOo=goods_details.dwt&...

and the Flux is here http://www.panshkite.com/index.php?gOo=goods_search_list.dwt...

I no nothing about these kites . I just thought if enough peeps want to honestly try and evaluate them, for just the cost of shipping it to the next guy,then what the heck . I will let you know if Pansh has any special requirements. I think I read somewhere about signing your name on inside structure material. So I guess start a list.

I am up for trying them. Why not. I have liked the ones I have well enough. I am more into depower now but I think I can give them a fair shake. Thanks WG.

That's one... come on guys , it's a chance to try a different kite.

I'm not sure if I am a hater but have been called a " kite snob " for my panshOpinions. I passed on the Canadian pass . I didn't think it would have a chance of getting a balanced review from Van . I started to think that it may be good for us to pick it apart but it became clear that any opinion that wasn't panshPositive would be written off . Kite snobs and all! :dunno:

Are you sure it is giving the kite a balanced review if you don't include the " haters " ?

P.S. GREAT Avatar W.G.

Bladey, I really meant more"the I hate pansh and nothin will ever change my mind" mentality.

When Blade mention 'Van' , he means Vancouver .. not me...hahaha...:bouncy: and btw.. put me down .. I woudn't mine trying one out. I have the 5.0M legend right now and it's not too bad.

FYI already done with the Ace...........................

But did it do it's job?

And the Hoopty van is none the worse for wear! :duh: :duh:

so far it's
stetson 05
van what's your location? state/country?

WG, will these be at Wildwood? I'd love to give them a try if so, if not, add me to the list, b57, NY.

Don't know , I don't have them yet. But if I get em, I don't see why I couldn't set em up and let peeps try em. Just give me your honest opinion. Probably a good idea, there will be quite a few US east coast buggiers there to test them. I think the first p2v is a buggy racekite and the flux is a beginner / intermediate buggy kite. I will let you know more when I get the info/kites.

If you have them at WW I'll give them a go

I'm in the Houston , TX area with Dylan and Houston Airhead ...

So when are kites coming around? if november, we can all try it out at DBBB.

Thanks Donnie, I'll take them for a spin!

Thanks WG

I will still pass . We are moving in to our wet season. Very hard to find a dry windy day that won't potentialy get the kite dirty. The buggy season is wrapping up and snowkiting is coming.

you can put me up for a go with one of the kites i have a 5m ace

Gotcha BR, no worries:cool2:
NJL, I'm hoping that I will have them for WW

sweeet sound great thanks for organizing this

I got them today and they are sweet! Pansh has really stepped it up a bit. The bridals are way better than the old ones. They do not have lines or handles so if you have no handleset and lines you're screwed. Newbs can try the 4m Flux, but the First proto is only for experienced buggy pilots,it is deffo a buggy race kite. Not for static flight fo sho! I gotta get me one of these bad boys. Can't wait for WW!

Il defiantly take a shot at them at ww Its gona be a Race kite Smakdown

I have a Flux 4m, 2m and a 6.1 First, I am in Canada but you have to go via the Pansh Forum to get on the list

Got a chance to fly the 4m flux tonight (thanks Donnie)I was actually impressed with the response and power this kite had. You can really steer that thing with brake input. I look forward to checking out the bridal system when the sun comes up!

Conditions were onshore 8mph winds.

well, I have allowed peeps to fly these 2 kites. And everyone I talked to said the same thing the Flux in 4m is a great user friendly kite. It actually flew very well by brake input and had manners.

The winds turned out to be nukin and very gusty ,I gave an attempt at buggyin w/it(the 6.1 first) ,but it was tip tucking and bowtying left and right.So I put it away after it launched me like a missle out of the seat. I have some video I think, will post later.

I will now get ready to send out the flux so we need to start a list for it.
The First 6.1, I am going to hold until I take it to my local beach for some clean onshore flow, then I can give it a shakedown. After that I will start a list for it(experienced only on this one , sorry).
The kites will come K.O. as that is how pansh sent them out :puzzled::puzzled:. So if you don't have a handleset and lines don't waste your time.

Please add me to the list! Bob in NY. I wish I could've tried it in Wildwood, but it wasn't to be.

list for 4m Flux is as follows:

1 stetson05
2 van
3 NJLandboarder (ask your Dad first cause you gotta pay to ship it to the next guy)
4 bobalooie57

SO .......


How did the race kite stand up ?

I did get a chance to fly the 4m flux while at the WBB! I was very surprised by the brake response and true power the kite had. I have owned and flown several Pansh kites, and this one handled the best!

Thanks Don

and .........


Stacked up next to the Vapors, Combats and YaS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s the new Pansh race kite was ......

I doubt all 4 kites will be together on the same beach in North America soon. I'm very interested in how it went.
