IMHO the Transfer's way of bridle conection (with tube on spine) is way too better than this one (with stoppers and glue)

Hey I will give it a go too :cool:

Just to check, the bridle is the same and the legs (inhaul/outhaul/whatever :lol:) are the same length, just the point of attachment is different?

From Eolo's website:
Over and Neox are now made of Icarex.

Eolo-Sport goes one step further to feature Icarex PC31 fabric instead of Ventex in their top-end stunt kites range.

This modification has been introduced as the result of our commitment to evolve and to improve the final product for our customers’ sake. We are committed to continue following these guidelines in the future.

Detailed flight improvements:

More precision
Wider wind range
Higher lift
Better Freestyle skills, even in strong winds.
Advanced freestyle tricks such as the Yo-Fade, the Taz Machine, the Yo-Yo in two times, or the Crazy Copter are easier to perform.
Kites are more solid: ICAREX provides a better structural support, thus reducing the strain to which the spars are subject during flight.


To sum up, these kites are a great choice for everyone and have an unbeatable price-quality ratio.

We should, we should indeed.

Perhaps Eolo could donate one to the FA library - so that we can get a demo
fly before plonking down our cash ?

Well this arrived last week & I had a 2 hours session on Saturday.
Gotta say I really like this kite! Easy to fly, very responsive, tricks easily! I managed to do lots more than with the BKN or my BoT, admittedly they're both quite knackered! Anyhow, after that session I'd quite happily buy one as a "learner kite" - until I'm good enough to deserve a Talon anyway :D
