Ace 5.0
I was pretty impressed with this kite. It was very stable through the window had quite a bit of power.The wind was only 9-10 mph. But I did get to try
it. It held good a the edge of the window also. Fairly fast, Not to snatchy pretty smooth delivery of power a tiny bit of lift I don't know about
float wind was not strong enough to get off the ground But got a few good scudds in. The wing tips tended to curl a little maybe do to lack of wind
also the brakes were a little loose. Didn't have much time to fly on my lunch break. But imo I would not be upset at all if I had one of these it
would get used and the price is right. Not of the best quality but we all know that going onto it. If your fairly new I would say try one I don't
think you would be dissapointed Thats what I got from a 30 min. flight Static on the Ace 5m.

more lift than the bullet? How would you compare it overall to the bullet? I ask since you let me try your bullet, that way I have something to
compare it to.
did you fix your lines yet ?

Yea, it has more lift than the bullet. in the wind I had the Ace in I was suprised. Not as solid or of quality as the Bullet But more lifty yes. The
Bullet is all traction for stedy pull and It is alot more responsive and faster. But for the price of an Ace not bad. And no I have not got new lines
yet. I need to. What I showed you that day was a frayed line sleeve. The line has no damage yet But I would rather be safe than sorry so I will have
to get another line set soon. Anyone got a good price on some 550main 220 brake
sets 82m or longer?

I think so. Yes. If you buy from Pansh. Ask around though you may find a good deal right here.

They come with lines and handles. you will still need a ground stake and kite killers.

i just bought myself a ace 5.0 for x-mas, i been wanting to do some decent jumping with a decent lift kite, i'm gonna refrain myself from using it
till x-ms, and the wind and weather has sucked here recently, rain all day, and insane winds... too dangerous to fly on the beach, i'd prolly end up
in france..
good to read the review tho.. i'm satisfied with my purchase now..
KITE\'s -
Elliot magma 3.0
Pansh Ace 5.0
