Did anyone else notice that they have a Reactor 10.m? I just got the latest dealer price list and did a double take, as it was not on the original
2008 copy. Went to the PL site and sure enough it's there. They list the wind range as 0-10 mph. Extrapolating from my 8.3m, I can believe it.
Gotta git me one.

Come on, doesn't that have to at least be 1-10 mph? If there is a kite out there that flies in 0 mph then I must have one. :moon:

I bet they left out the part about running down the beach like a mad dog. You can probably launch in a puff (or run) and keep it goig in next to
nothing- like some race kites.
