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!). |
