Very similar shape. The sail design is no contest though.

When does yours arrive?

Very similar, even the stand-offs look to be in exactly the same position.

Doubt I'll bother, but never say never I'm sure they'll bring out UL and Vtd versions, could be a cheaper alternative to the N. series.

Its good to see HQ getting back into making 'serious' kites. A couple of my first bought kites were the HQ midi and passion which were/are great kites. I'll be interested to hear more.

Sorry, I thought we were talking about the Phoenix

Oh, the Level One kite-yeah, whatever

Not so fast - Dodd is currently announcing at GWTW that it was actually him who designed the kite back when he worked with HQ. And even though he sincerely "wishes them success" with the kite, he still manages to get a few thinly veiled shots in at Christoph Fokken.

Too funny.
