06 TD , has a long bridle and the easily flips thru and inverts..this unit is know for this behavior. this was a first year generation bow and in
general not a choice unit, unless the bladders and bar are decent but at the age doubtful. i was tempted by many as well, most bows 07, 08 and
later are gonna do better. a c-kite would be with a 5th line, 05 prolly peak year for that, by far better.

+1 for what Phreerider said. We had a guy who used to fly one of those around here. Scary to watch it fly and invert. T2 and T3 turned out to be
much better.

Yet another agreement with above. Love the TurboDiesel 10m I have, but watching a LEI invert is scary. Even more scary when it's attached to you.
That said, the later revisions of this kite are fantastic.
Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.
