Beamer 3.6 yes or no
Hey Guys,
Wow ive finally lost my forum virginity.
Ive been flying 2 line kites for a few years now on and off and am just getting round to buying my first quad line. Im looking at getting the Beamer
3.6 to eventually progress into buggying.
Is this a good buy?
Does anyone have a .PDF for the Beamer 3.6?
I have also got a 2m flexi viper which i won on ebay but ive not got round to buying lines.
Cheers

Yeah, the Beamer 3.6m is a great first kite, If you have a line on one I'd buy it. If you're on a budget you can always borrow the lines off the
Beamer for the Viper for the time being for those super windy days.

Because the new Beamer III's are out, you should be able to get a good price on the B II 3.6 if you can find it.
The Beamer III's have some nice improvements, including sewn bridle loops, colored line sets and newer handles. They are sized in whole numbers
2,3,4,5 and 7 meters. I'm told they fly on a bar as well as if not better than on handles. Haven't tried it yet.
They are indeed a good kite for the money.
Another good kite in this class for the money is a Peter Lynn Pepper. It comes in a plain sack with handles, line and instructions, not stake, no
video and no fancy pack.

The Buster II's are a decent value for the $$$ as well. So there's options, just depends on what you can find locally if possible. You'll always get
better service from the local shop than you will from anywhere that you mail order from.
