The HP Competition Edge

This is the Competition Edge. It's a big, strong pulling kite, designed for team flying. It has an icarex sail and ProComp frame. It doesn't really perform too well in less than 5mph winds. In winds above 10-15mph it becomes a real challenge, and pulls like the proverbial truck (I often buggy with this kite in strong winds!!). 

It's a slightly dated design now, but it can still perform some of the modern tricks such as axels and flat spins. It excels at slides (helped by the winglets). One negative feature of the kite is the amount of oversteer it has, particualrly at low winds speeds about it's stall point, this can make precision moves difficult at times. It's impressive in the air though, and you always know when it's flying as it has a growl like a B-52 bomber (it's built like one too!).
