R-Sky wont be troubled.

Well, I had another fly with the Fury this afternoon, and frankly I'm completely underwhelmed. The only thing it was really good at was precision, which is fine but I was expecting so much more.

I really wanted to like it and I'm very disappointed :(

How about a slightly more in-depth flight review?

I'm sorry Juha, but it's really difficult to get up the enthusiasm.

Why would R-Sky be troubled anyway?

exactly they wont.

But this quote: "the Fury is a Nirvana Killer" came from a CR sponsored flyer.

Yeah, I mean after a couple of positive reviews, one negative review makes all the diference. :)

I think time will tell how good the Fury is.

Is there any comparison between the Nirvana and Fury? Does the Fury do any particular better than the Nirvana??

A negative review certainly makes me hold back the credit card for the time being. Doesn't mean I will not buy one, but it means it will not be this week.
Any new kite is going to have its bandwagon with it. For most fliers making the decision to buy has to be balanced from all the reviews you hear about it and if it suits your particular style of flying. As has been said, time will tell :?

The funny thing is I have never flown another 8ft kite that can do tricks as easily as the Fury, and fly easy freestyle. Maybe Craig has?
