Zippy, I found it a kite that lacked drive - bridle was spec- prefered the KFX SUL and UL to it

From before the bridle slipped #-o and now it's back in place, it's quite a low pull and slow kite. It feels like to me a Standard that's been reduced in weight about as far as it can go, rather than something optimised properly for light wind flying.

It works, certainly, but it's a little indistinct on the lines. For me this means I have to concentrate on not overdoing the inputs. It's tricky enough as it is so there's no need to try to force it through moves.
