K, Finally time, there will be a Combat being sent down stateside, only question is what size? It'll be the same deal as the other tours, person who has it is responsible for the cost of sending it to the next guy. Person with the kite is responsible for the kite until it arrives at the next person's house. You damage it, you fix it or cover the costs of repair.

I'm thinking of a 5m, no lines or handles. I warn you now, if you're brand new to kiting you won't like it, This tour is for guys that are mainly into buggies and speed with a bit of experience at it.

How about 4.2m?
Anyhoo, either size is cool. Can you add me on the list?

Thanks,
e

I would like to get on the list also! Anything around 5m would be great.

Thanks

I must say. This is one wicked kite! I meant to write a review of it when it was in my hands for a bit, but I never did and now its too late

But I'm sure someone here can review it :D It's really an awesome kite and quite stable, especially in my inland fields.

No matter what size, you guys should really enjoy it!

Once I get a little more input on size, I'll get it sent out asap.

Paul, 5 or 6m sounds good with me. Add me to the list, if you would.

4-5 meter.

So, it's looking like the 5m will be the most universal, so it'll be leaving shortly, just need to find the first location, There was a fellow that missed out on the brooza, so it may go there first, but currently it's looking like

:wow:

I'm shocked to think you have lost faith in yourself !!! It's true Pab's wants folks who can fly to try it but you have flown plenty of kites now. It's a big chance for you to see just what a race kite and buggy feel like !! I think he was just hoping folks would use it for it's purpose rather than just static flying and jumping?
Cowboy Up and get back on that list !!! :wink2:

DaVinch,

I'm second on the list.
I'd like you to send the Combat to my workplace when you're done.
I will U2U my work address - Just let me know when you need it.

In the mean time, enjoy the kite!

Bigsilver,

Kite'll be going out tomorrow, been a little busy with work, sorry for the delay. Bigsilver, by the time you get it the weather just may have improved, each guy's been taking a week and a bit with it, so you should be getting it in 1 1/2 to 2 months out

Paul B

Sounds good elkiter

Thanks for the info Pablo - I'm looking forward to flying her!

In the mail, Should be there sat, monday at the latest, I'm going to cap the list pretty soon, so if you want on it speak up now.

Paul

Excellent! I'm ready

Thanks for the update Paul.

Got the Combat in today! It looks mean :evil:

Not enough wind to try it out, but I did get some pictures.

Pablo - what wind range do you use the 5m in?

The bag:

Another pic:

Last one:

Looks a lot like Speed2. Like the color

Love the bridal lines. Colorful, and probably really easy to organize and strighten out

Joe, the 3.5 is a powerhouse in the upper teens-low twenties, so I'd guess 15 to 20 would be a good range for it, maybe a wee bit less.

Have fun Davinch!

Here are a few pics I took:

I flew the Combat today

Winds were only around 10mph, but I was still able to get moving along on the skis.

It felt great getting back on a fixed bridled kite (flying depower all winter) - so nice and simple.

I'll report back in once I fly it in some better winds

10mph as you said should be ok, but underpowered a little, then again, I'm a big guy.

I love the kite from about 12-14mph all the way up to low 20's, The kite poweres up surprisingly fast though in the stronger winds, So I don't suggest higher winds unless you're in a large area, it'll do really well off apparent speed as well, so once you get going the power just keeps building.

They seem to pull really good for their size, like a hare of brake line tension for max performance and a touch extra stability.

Thanks for letting me fly it Pablo!

I would like to get in one more session this weekend and then I'll send it out Monday morning.

I really loved the way it “locks in” when powered up on a run - sweet kite

Hey Pablo,,,is it too late to be added to the 'distribution list'? If not, then please add me to the list. If it is...I understand...my loss for dragging my feet!

BTW, what are the list (prices) on the combats (8-9m) range?

Thanks.
