I saw this on ebay and didn't know if it was worth looking into

Russian paraglider company that also makes kites. I believe they have been reviewed favorably, but you don't see them on the forum because it is a Russian manufacturer that doesn't have much of a presence in the US.

The kite has been approved by Batman:


Unless the kite is trashed, it's worth looking into.

Went back and checked some of your earlier posts.

Keep in mind that a 7m higher aspect ratio kite on small inland fields is not going to be a whole lot of fun.

If the low price is the prime motivator, you might be better off looking elsewhere.

That might be a cool kite if budget wasn't a concern. Just to have something so unique. + Batman Logo !

Too many unknowns to suggest it for you ?

I got some more information about this kite, it turns out it is not the b2 but instead their winnie, paraavis' version of a trainer kite. granted it is a big trainer but, knowing that I doubt I will look to much more into it, the big bat emblem and the fact it comes with a harness was what got me interested in the first place

just a quick update I ended up getting this kite for a bit of a steal. As I mentioned before this is a para avis winnie kite not the totally awesome batman kite but still looks to be an awesome kite none the less. The winnie is meant to be a entry level kite so over all it should be a good fit for a noob like myself. for about 120 dollars I got a 7m closed cell fixed bridle kite. brand new kite links and peter lynn handles. plus a harness and roller spreader. the roller spreader is interesting as it looks like it has been modified to work as a quick release if you get in trouble. the roller has a spring loaded lever you pull to disengage it. there is also a small plastic flange to keep the strop line from falling off the roller. I have never seen anything like it. but as I am new to this who thing, this could be common and I am making a big deal out of nothing. I haven't got to fly it yet and that will tell me if this ended up being a steal or a dud. When I get it out I will post some pictures of it in flight hopefully tomorrow or wednesday

Whatever you do…
get REALLY GOOD before relying on using the strop in a spreader that might not be the "quick release" you expect/hope it to be.
(and if you're moving on land - wear a helmet)
