HQ Chrome

Sat Jan 17, 2015 4:05 pm

First time flying the Chrome. Stitching etc is top-notch. Maybe not exactly at the level of, say, a Benson, but certainly not far off.

Flight is stable, good tracking, no oversteer or understeer.

Because it's such a stable kite, it does not give tricks away as easily as a Benson Deep Space (let's use that as a bench mark), although that may simply be me needing to adapt my flying.

For me, an excellent kite, most definitely worth the £85 I paid for it :cool:

Thanks Harv!

Nice graphics. Reminds me of the Akuji.

Having now flown this kite,thanks Lex, I must agree with his assesment. Found it to be well made ,well presented and good flyer able to perform my limited trick abilities( won trick out at Weymouth 2014). Shame it was not promoted better when it came out.
