iv been flying 2 line flexifoil stacker 6 for a while an im after going into 4 lines a mate said i can buy his Eolo Radsail 3.0
for £60 (lines and handles)
do you think this would be a good first 4 line kite or is there any other new kites for around that price??

any suggstions would be greatly appreciated

Hey thats sounds like a great price for a nice kite i'm looking for a 2.4m / 3m kite and you don't come across many for that price.
go with your gut instinct nice kite nice price......

I dont know. I got a 7m Radsail a few weeks ago, and im not too impressed. It keeps on folding in on itself in turns. Granted, I have not flown it in high winds yet, only about 12 and less. But in 12mph, it should fly fine and it does not. To be honest, I would go with the Flexi Blade.

My personal experiences with the radsail line of kites is a pretty favorable one. I have had at one time or another every kite from the 6m on down (pre the pro series) and I find them to be a very stable and easy to control kite. And for those reasons they make an excellent beginner kite or for gusty winds.

They also lack power compared to most other kites of the same size. For example, I will fly my radsail 4m when the winds are getting too much for my 3.5 jojo rs. Especially if the winds are squirly.

IMHO for a first 4-line kite they are really tough to beat and if you can get one for dirt cheap (they aren't expensive kites to begin with) then by all means, grab it.

Yup, buy it, learn on it, then keep it around for a nasty high wind kite. You can't go wrong for that price, save your $$$ for something awesome in the 5m range down the road.
