I know a bunch of you got together and ordered some Auroras.

Haven't they arrived yet? Or haven't you got a bar set they will fly on?

Looking and waiting with curiosity.

Me too, me too.....

Last word I got Pansh shipped them last week to Mac'. Not the 3 days to the door that my 1st Pansh showed up in? But we are getting costom colours so I will give them some slack.

Blade....we anxiously await pics and video of the maiden flights as well as your thoughts on the wing......

Cant wait to see custom colors

Check here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PanshKites/

No word.....sent Pansh another email but have not received response on any others. I have the shipment notification but the reference number doesn't bring up anything on the shipping site.......

So many good things about dealing with Pansh yet so many not so good things.....

@macboy,
chinease shipments via DHL or EMS are now also being handled by Canada Post, so check the tracking number from the Pansh order on CP website

the US kite order arrived yesterday- i have not had a chance to even take one out of the bag yet but will try to get a few pics tonight. All three were the same with black centers and green tips

You should be out testing those in the super winds you have out east.....LoL......

be safe..... can't wait to see your pics.....

Black/Green? Pictures please.
That might be as good a color choice as Black/Red.

Might be worth the cost just to have custom colors, hmmmmmm

ARRIVED! I'll get your addys and get them out to you. Pics coming.

I have a strong feeling I will have a black and red one up for sale pretty soon? If by some strange reason this kite works as good as a Phycho IV 15m I will keep it but judging by the line plan that's not happening?

Nice, can't wait to check it out. I haven't figured out a bar for it yet though, if anyone has any recommendations let me know.

I just took an old 4 line bar and added a 5th. I'm just starting out with and extra long 5th since I am not clear exactly how long it should be? The plan shows 5 extra meters ? Seems a lot? I have asked at info@pansh.com for spec's on the bar 3 times but never got a reply.

I have to expect almost any standard 5 line bar will work ? You may have to adjust the bar stopper and may need an extension on the 5th if you really do need 5 extra meters.

Somebody get one of these things in the air ! I don't want to be the 1st to complain! ;-)

Where are the reviews indeed ! :puzzled:

6 people have recieved this kite and yet I'm not seeing much feedback ?

I know who the 3 Canucks that got them are but am not even clear who has them down South. Flyguy and ???

Who got these and what do you feel about them ?

:bigok:

Ok....this is not a review as I am a FB guy but I did find a picture of Bladerunner and the maiden flight of his Aurora.



Cheers

Ken(K3)

life has been getting in the way of my kiting so have not taken a kite out since my last post in the other thread. Hoping to get some tight line soon and will share any experience
Scott

Are the other 2 American owners wanting to remain unknown ? Or did you just buy a single kite ?

Currently in-between, too cold to get out on the water and not cold enough to snowkite yet.
A couple of reviews were posted on the original thread
Hoping to get some more airtime soon.

blade- no the other two just have not posted yet i am guessing they have not had a chance to fly it yet since both were curious about getting bars for them

Mine's in the car still waiting to be tried out, weather hasn't really been cooperating lately. I have a bar for it now but still need to rig up the 5th line for it. Yes, I'm making excuses.

I am not very experienced with depower yet though, so I'm probably not the best to offer any sort of constructive reviews as I haven't flown many others to compare it with.

I have yet to even open it up... sorry guys. :dunno: If anyone local wants to give it a go, hit me up.

I'm also in same boat as Smeagol. Between work, school, and weather I haven't been able to find a good day to fly. Classes end in the next few weeks so should be able to fly then as long as the weather permits. I'll see if i can get some pictures at least to show the black green color.

Brett

All GOOD!

Just thought folks thinking about the 22m Christmas special would like to know how it's going.

I have only had the one attempt in sucker winds . Pick it up again this weekend and fingers crossed!

I am pretty certian that I proved to myself that a 50cm bar is too short for the 15m.

Video of testing Aurora 15m
Subtitles are in russian, but you will get a gist of it.
Ground wind 2.8m/s (~6knts)
Nice recovery from the twist at 5:40

Another video here with comments (english this time)

Aurora on water 1
Water relaunching shown at 2:40

Aurora on water 2
Water relaunch at 1:20

The water re-launch seems to take some time----:o big safety worry there :o
Seems like the kite would fill up & sink in heavy surf taking you down with it or turning into a un launchable foul mess.
Then again it's asking way to much for a PANSH to fly the same as a PL & just
not go into the water in the first place

Aurora video in snow/ice conditions (some comments)

Is 8-16kph light wind?

I wonder how the 22m would fly. Not being super light fabric she must be a fat kid's kite more than a light weight machine. Still the AR looks sweet and i bet once you get it dialed in she's a ton o' fun.

5-10mph I guess qualifies for light wind. I wouldn't have my 11m out yet unless on the beach or ice maybe too.

8 - 16kph is only 5 to 11 or 12mph.

The fabric isn't ultra light but is less heavy than standard Flysurfer fabric ( I think ) . It has a slick finish like the AlaSCa and I find the AlaSCa flies early.

It definately begs for a huge bar ! It looks in the video like air retention isn't that great. I think I was finding that as well ?
