This kite feels totally different to the newer kites out there at
the moment. It has oversteer which when the outer stand off is in
the inner setting is very pronounced. It dumps air very quickly
on a spin and you have to be prepared to take control very smartly
when this happens. Putting the outer standoffs in the outer position
helps reduce the oversteer as does adding weight to the tail. A
moderate wind also enevitably helps.
The kite axles and half axles well and will do double axles easily
which many of the French kites find difficult. Cascades are perhaps
a little slower as you have to tend the rotation more but they were
straight forward. It pancakes easily and flat spins are no problem.
It recovers into a fade when many kites would nose plant when weight
is added to the tail and this makes jacobs ladders simple. Flic
flacs are very quick and it will over rotate into a yo yo or stop
in a wap do wap position. A lot about this kite is quick.
