Anyone with 12m slingshot snow ranger experience?

Hey guys, I just picked up a snow ranger on steep and cheap for $300 new, rtf. It was a bit of an impulse buy, as is most steep and cheep deals, but i figured the price was right for something that big regardless. Does anyone have any experience or tips with flying that kite?

I'm open to any and all suggestions, reviews, whatev

Thanks everyone

i really like the bar set up (or at least the looks of it) so i was looking for a 9m a while back to try out. no luck though. there were some thorough reviews around. from what i've read there was some minor updates/ improvements as years went on.
deezPANSHES has a 12m Naish Element, which i think is an equivalent, and it seems to b a real decent kite.
no worries.
