Ha Ha Ha Pansh you crack me up.
Looking at my pile of morning emails, I ran into the new Blaze III.
Reading up on it and came across this statement by Pansh,
"Two packages are available. Users can choose the color and the package. The Ready to Fly package can just fly out of the bag. For the Kite Only
package comes with a manual which direct you set up the kite easily."
WOW, a manual. What wonders cease to exist.
And,
"It takes PANSH Design Team 10 years time to upgrade Blaze kite to a further high level. Blaze IIIs is a 5-line depower kite with 26 cells. Blaze IIIs
comes with many innovative designs. It is a high performance snow kiting machine. It is designed for intermediate and expert riders with flying
experience."
It didn't take some of us more than a couple hours to make the Blaze a great snow kite.
(this post is for those that have been around for more than a few years, so only the old timers would appreciate the humor in this post).

Maybe it's just me but the flame and stamp look backwards?
What is this " internal safety " they talk about?
The mesh on the leading edge will grab snow and ball it up inside the kite? At least my old Bullets and Blades mesh did. Not a good idea for snow?
SkyCountry have a smart super tight mesh on their snow kite inlets. 
It looks like they are having a half price sale?

I wonder if the manual describes how to adjust the bridle if it won't fly? Tools needed: scissors and 20 feet of 100 lb Dyneema.

Seems like they have gotten a little "inspiration" from Ozone this time...  Mesh
intakes and a "internal line" safety, ie. a ReRide -ripoff:D
Mesh on snowkite intakes is great though, at least the kind Ozone uses. I've never had any significant amount of snow in my kite. The only time it has
ever caused me problems was when the intakes froze shut in freezing rain:evil:

I should qualify my statement. When I had issues with snow balling up in my Flexifoil kites with mesh it was my 1st year snowkiting. I struggled with
terrible winds and poor skills so the kites ended up nose down a LOT more than would be the case these days.
