Nice thorough review, but I have to say that it reads like a sales pitch. Of course I feel like most reviews, including those in most magazines all
sound like they were written by the kite mfr's marketing department.

Who do think is paying for your glossy kite mag? It is not you. The price you pay covers the distribution. Do you think the publishers of a kite
magazine are going to p/o the folks paying the bills? They like to eat too.

Is it possible to design for strength, if the designer doesn't really understand what strength is?

Looks like some snazzy graphics on a North Rhino  They do look
sharp. I would like to know what is different about these kites compared to the something like the Rhino.

The minimal bridle and fact it's completely removable is interesting :puzzled:
3 struts seperates it from the Rhino . It does kind of look like one though !
