Very, very nice, but noisy, and a definite 8.5 on the Zippy scale :wink:

and big-ups for the FA beanie, kept me head nice and cosy :thumbsup:

But the big question is: will it last longer than the Néxt in oh-so-very-fickle Craig's kitebag ? :-k

If it makes it to New Year's Day I reckon it's won that particular battle.

C'mon Craig Old Boy - you can do better than that !

Whats it good at ? Whats it not good at ?

How much wind does it really need ?

Does it hand out double yo-fades ? Are yoyo cometes cake ?

Better than a FX ?

Yeah the beanies really good and will stay in the bag for a good while

Do you mean to tell us we're really going to have to rely (pah !) on Francois
(Mister-Kite-Of-The-Week) over at GWTW for the lowdown ?

I object to that ... I've not bought any kites this week

It flies in 4/5mph. well, it tricks well, it's built well and it does straight lines well.

I wont bother listing the tricks it can do, because it can do pretty much everything I could think of including a Yo-fade backspin at first attempt. However the Yo-yo comete took a while to get

Expect comparisons to the Cosmic TC, but not from me :wink:

I liked it and don't expect to see it on the Swap meet anytime soon.

Not especially, they're both very nice kites

P300 LE's, 5PT spreaders.

So do you still have this kite?
What are your thoughts on it now?

Denny

Yep, still have it and still really like it

Although it now has a retro-fitted leech line, that is adjusted to make the kite quiet, and the bridle is now set at Christians newer dimensions.
