Just bought a pkd buster 2, have not had time to fly it yet.
Is there anyone whos got one and could you please let me know how good it is to fly thanks,

Pablo is the man for this and I'm sure he'll respond when he sees your post.

thanks B-Roc

Pab's will come around soon. Meanwhile.... He has nothing but good things to say about the Busters and same with the folks around here. They are a nice friendly foil well suited to learning ATB. You made a good choice IMHO . It is my lack of Skate / snowboard / wake skill that is holding me back but my next goal is to get going ATB style.
One tip I keep hearing is that it's a lot easier to learn when well powered. Another tip, Go through all of the motions without the board many times. Sit on your butt, dive the kite like getting out of the water ( or going atb ) Let the kite pull you up, step downwind a little as you run away accross wind as you would on the board. This allows you to feel how to control the tension on your lines as you take off and move along with the kite.

They're easy to fly with the factory setting, it'll all come complete, all lines attached ready to go. With it set to the factory knots on the bridal you'll have some good power, still nice and stable, not super lifty. They're all things you want in a kite for a beginner. It turns nice with input on just the main flying lines, but if you decide to get aggressive with the kite it'll do well with brake turns as well. Smooth and stable with good pull for its size/type of kite.

If you move the bridal adjustment knot up towards the kite sail you'll get a slower kite with more lift, If you move it down the bridal towards the handles you'll get a faster flying kite with a larger window. The lifty setting will take a bit more wind for the kite to really fly good on, the speed setting towards the handles will allow the kite to fly good and generate more apparent wind when the wind's low. I'd keep it on the factory setting though until you've had a chance to get used to the kite. Once your flying progresses the adjustments will let you get more out of the kite.


The only real drawback to the Buster II is that it will never lift you as high as a blade or travel fast as a race kite in a buggy. The Buster II is the only kite I've been using to teach students though, My set has taken some major abuse and taught countless people to fly and are all still going strong.

Thank you for your replys it has helped
