Thanks Frazer, thanks Adrian. I always welcome good feedback!

Minor points that Adrian picked up on will be addressed in all future builds

Nor sure how I missed this one. Don't think I look inth review section too often. Thanks to Adrian for flagging it up to me.

I've been flying Kevin's Temptations for a while now and I have to say that while the STD Temptation is very nice I do actually prefer the UL and wish for lighter wind days that I never seem to get often enough here. The first time I flew this kite I was driven to phone Kevin immediately afterwards to spew what can only be described as a love fest down the phone. Embarrassing to think of now but that's how it went. The UL I find has a balance and ability to have it's speed controlled due to the drive that makes flying a pleasure that I have not experienced in a while. I really am having a rediscovery of freestyle that I've not had since my first summer of flying way back when I'd freeze frame the trickery flickery vids and then go out and try to emulate with Jester II's. I'm enjoying my flying again, I've got my mojo back and it's all happening with this kite. I've touched amoxomoa more times in the last 2 months that in the last 10 years.

Adrian is a very talented and competent flyer (those slight of hand vids really don't do justice to seeing him fly for real. He's one of those that can repeat and repeat like clockwork not just edit together for a vid) so reading his take on these kites is a pleasure. Personally I've not encountered any of the knock or rollbar issues myself but the humidity here means everything swells up. Me included.

Nice to hear from you Jason. Glad you're enjoying your flying. Looking forward to joining you next year!
