UL kite -> best price ;)

Tue May 02, 2006 8:34 am

Hello everybody, after few motnhs spended, with Eolo Over kite and learning some trick flight i start thinking about some UL kite. I will be glad if I find some UL kite with same, or close, flight behaviour like my kite. But I do not think that Eolo have some plans to start selling this version. :( In case of my poor budget I start thinking about this two UL kites:

1) Shadow (Invento HQ)
and
2) Tatto zero (SpaceKites but distrubuted by Invento dealers)

still cant decide which I shoul by. Meybe some of you have good advice for me.

I too would like to hear about the HQ Shadow (last I heard was Mark's friend had broken the leading edge............ therefore I cant play with it :-) )

I really would like a UL, without getting something very expensive and fragile - since I always seem to break bits at the moment - and the Shadow seems to fit the bill, but would like to a) read some review/comments and b) fly it.

definitely not close to Eolo Over. Possibly as far removed as two kites can be?

1) Shadow (Invento HQ)


At least closer. Could be nice. (Hearsay)

You can make your neighbours think that you have fluorescent lights in all the rooms in your house by quickly turning the lights on and off several times before leaving them on.

Lemonydes, why not try the HQ Invento Forum they ofen have kites for sale there. If you are after a Shadow or maybe a Breeze this could be a good place to try. I can't speak for the Shadow as I've never flown one but the Breeze is a good start point for an introduction to UL flying. Nice bendy Avia frame takes a lot of abuse and with the outer stand-offs removed you can fly it indoors too, at a pinch.
A NOHD will be published for the DS in due course, till then wear sunnies.
