Right it might not be the best of pictures but it's all I've got......

I managed to give it a quick fly but the wind was a bit too strong even for this. I did manage to do some cascades, backspins and jacob's ladders even in ballistic winds. I think its safe to say I'm going to have a lot of fun with this one :cool:

Geez, I think these Akujis look sooooo nice. IMHO, the panel layout is just plain one of the best out there.

Tell me about it Neil, today was the first time the wind dropped below double figures this year here in Brighton - ridiculous! Hope you had a good fly.

I did indeed have a good fly, clear blue skies ( most of the time ) lots of sun.
The Trident was fun to fly, did my first flic-flacs !! held fades nicely, went into a turtle with ease too.
plus it looked cool against the blue skies :)

I bought myself another LevelOne Xtreme STD. Same colors (black/grey/teal) as the one i allready had.
Reframed the new one in 5,5 mm exel for LE and US and 3pt for LS, which was the old frame of the Orange. LE is 2 piece, because i want to take it to Indonesia in march.

Took it for a spin yesterday, and the differences in flight behaviour were as aspected. the kite handles more responsive with this frame. I also noticed turtle's are "deeper" compared to the STD.

Even when the wind dropped to almost nothing, it still flew without much effort. I was thinking about getting the Light version as well, but the modified STD seems to fill in the gap quite well. I guess "Comp" is suitable suffix for this modified version.

Really happy with the German Couple! (sounds a bit "swingerish", doesn't it? ;))

This is STD, pic of it's partner will be added ASAP.

Had a quick go. The wind was a bit strong but it flew very nicely indeed. JLs, yoyos, multi-lazies & cyniques, bs cascades, copters and slots...I don't have much more than that so I was pretty chuffed.

It really locks into the Lazy. I even managed a couple of multis (?) in a lewis. :bigups:
