Radsail 6m or Beamer 7m
Currently using a Radsail 4 (Which I think is excellent)
However could somtimes do with some more umph.
Looking at Radsail 6.0m or
Beamer 7.0
What are these like to handle , do the collapse fluff a lot as that is a real pain on a board, crash bang ouch

Ive flown the rad sail 6, and the 5 meter beamer loads. Id probably go for the rad out of the two, as its a bit stabler, the beamer is
good value for money, but not as stable, ( prone to collapsing, and tangling in its bridle). Using the 6 meter rad Ive buggyed in
around 4 knots. Having said this, if you can afford a 7 meter bullet, its an awesome kite.
Have fun.

radsail is the best .ownig one i have found these a lot better than the beamer and the bridles easier to untangle if they get tangled
(unlikly) the power is great and they are more or less a cheap blade because they were designed by andy preston (the maker of the flexi
blades) these kites are winners. if you want one go on ebay.de and serch radsail pro and find one on sale from rainbow flyer ,great
seller . if not find one that says neuware and that send to europe.you get the kite a lot cheaper from this site. i got my 5m radsail
off him for 100 quid and i had it in a week. the kites are brand new. if you want any pics or videos of the kite please email me at

cheers

I have a RadPro 6m and have enjoyed flying in 3 knots of breeze and also 23 knots (Hilbre Coastal Observatory weather records site).
The kite is not meant to be a kite with lift but you can swing quite happily underneath it at that windspeed. Aesthetically it looks
better as well. However I do have a 2.5 Beamerv which is heaps of fun when it really blows!!!!!
