yup


dave jones - 21-8-2004 at 18:27

you tried buggying with a radsail


rob - 22-8-2004 at 09:32

nah never flown one but rumour has it the pro version is much better than the standard radsail.

only tried buggying once and didn't like it - buggy went one way and i went the other!!!

i'll stick to my mountain board!

good luck and have fun though!

if i remember rightly BEFS has a radsail pro, he'll know more about them than i do. shem and al might know more too?

Thinks BEFS got a HQ Beamer in the end?

Radsail Pro is a good kite lots better than old std version, there are some better kites out there though depending what you want from it?

Have used a 4m in buggy and it was fine, decent power, less lifty than a Blade, ok all round, I find the PKD Buster a bit sweeter to fly but a lit less power size for size...

Have a look at BEFS thread in this forum where he was looking for advice on a number of kites.

Do you have any other traction kites or will this be your first? Also what size are you looking at?

Some links that may help:

Yup was the 5m Beamer


dave jones - 22-8-2004 at 22:05

ye i have a 3m buster as well as the radsail

The rad sail pro is fine for buggying, Ive used the 4 and the 6, they are a little bit "RAW " however, ( Get over powerd fairly easily), so they dont have the same type of smoothness and wind range as a flexi bullet or ozone devil. The rad sails a lot of kite for the money however.

Have fun, look forward to seeing the buggys!!
