not really a review, just first impressions. i and a few others had a chance to fly jason's (ex andy p) cesium at brighton, only about ten minutes in crappy winds but and i don't know whether this is because i'm mainly flying atelier kites these days but tricks were there from the outset, rolls up in the blink of an eye, jl's, backspins, as demonstrated by jason lovely flat spins, what can i say it was FUN!!!, just wish i had longer to play with it.

if i had to i would put it somewhere between the pilot and xtr taking elements from both but it's definitely the sort of kite to put a huge smile on your face :D

thanks jason

Grrrrrrreat Paul!
This matches its "commercial" description (which I appreciate): The Cesium is an "instrument of pleasure". :bigups:

Enjoy

Don't think the Cesium needs batteries though...

Nope, I hadn't fallen off the map. Although one would be excused for thinking so...

Hi Bastiaan,
good to hear that your Cesium arrived safely.
Did you already had a look to the video ?
