Can't beat it for the $. I will use this kite I have only had wind to fly static no bug yet. But this little bugger is fast and has lots of pull! Very responsive. And looks cool in the air. It holds steady at the zenith and did not over fly. Loops fast, Stayed full and lit through the spins and came out of it well. I know alot of people frown on these But hey, It works for me. Don't knock it til you try it. After a bug session I will post more.

That's the kite that earned me my "Superman Patch". Seemed innocent - the little 3 meter. A gust grabbed it and off my scudding arse, up in the air, over to my frontside into a "slide into home plate". No killers and I didn't want to let go so I ended up rolling over onto my back so I could see the kite and bring it down.

I put it away that day and got my helmet and impact suit ; )

Nice kite - I got the blue one and yes, it does look sexy.

Mine is black w/ a yellow and orange fire ball!

I have been eyeballing the pansh kites for a little while now. and I must say the blaze is a nice looking kite, I like the new red flame on white. And I too have heard the stories about pansh kites. I only wonder if they'll still be holding their factory trim two or more years from now:!: I'm not nocking on them but they're still sort of new right? won't it be a while before we start hearing about that sort of stuff? I mean heck it might be worth it.
:singing:

our shop demo lasted 3 hrs befor I had to redo everything on it. Lines all wack, bridles and trim changed.

Yea but are you not pro? What wind speed did you fly in? I imagine you could tear it up in an hour going 40-50 mph. You have experience. and from what I hear are extreme. So you know how to push it to the limit to see what it can take. I'm sure for newbs terrified at a slow roll it is most likely perfect. Sod farmer where do you fly? Eli, Will you take me on a 50 mph. tandem ride?

I had it out all day in 25-30 mph wind it held up great for me. I buggied all day with it. The blaze has different bridle lines than the ace and the ledgend no stretch or problems at all. It worked for me. for the price I am pleased.

I am taking a serious look at one of these for my first 4 line kite. I have only flown 3 other 4lines (see BeemerBob's quiver), and I gotta have one. For the money, I can't justify a Beamer right now, and this looks like a great option instead.

If you get a Blaze Imo it's worth it. I would have been happy with it for a first kite. It's not a durable as a Beamer But it flys fast stable and has good pull. I suggest getting a good set of lines that will last you though.

Tell me a little more about the lineset. Did you have problems early on with the lines that were included?

Here is what comes on there:

Flying Sets: 2 x 100kg / 2 x 130kg
Flying Line Length: 20m
Flying Line Material: Dyneema

My latest set were strong and durable for how much they were used. They were rougher than flexi HQ or other name brand lines when the lines were wrapped around each other. Nice sewn loops though. Others have used them extensively without troubles or replacing them. It is nice to have a back up set of lines even if you can rob them from another kite if you are flying and break something.

I did give it a good test, nothing like the way I'd fly a cult or yakuza though...and I did score a moonlit session on my 4m last night...so sick..

Tandems, if you find me at NABX I'll pull tandems all day as long as we're going 40+, otherwise you'll fall asleep....FREE TANDEMS FOR EVERYONE...

I'd like to say I smashed up the 3.0....but instead I use it as a demo to let beginners fly....

I like it because of the flame graphics, no way I'd be able to service this product line, requires more maintanance then my Siberian Husky and Girlfriend put together..... am not bashing the kites, I'd just like to see everyone flying good gear imported and distributed by 'sponsors' and 'supporters' of out traction kite community....

and you can buy them directly from the manufacturer...wonder how long it takes to score service on defects....?


THE IMP QUATTRO is better, higher quality, and (no BS) and we take them in on trades towards higher end power kites....

I will be in the tandem line. Thanks. And I have not flown on the pansh line sets that I have yet. But the ones I have tried were fine.

I just ordered my Blaze 3M from Dlish as my first kite! I am stoked. What wind range should I fly it in? I weigh 215.

I would start in 8-10 at least.

i'll be burning my at sobb:flaming:

I know of something else you can burn also.

you gotta another kite to burn???

everyone is dumping them up here......perhaps our winds demand high quality kites.....takes too much time to make them work right...

No.

hey thrasher, didnt you pop that kite at nabx?

I dont think burning Kites is good for carbon emissions, that nylon can be nasty stuff when burned. But the symbolism of it is pretty cool.

Yea I did!! It is a gonner. It straight blew up! Blew the whole seam from top to bottom. I gave it to my son he taped it up and is still flying it bless his heart. There is only a couple things I burn and kites are not one of them.:D Are you going to make it tomorrow?

emissions arent that bad, we've messured them...helps with mosquitoes too! :P

like that?
