I am looking for my second kite, first was a buster 3, still on a relatively low budget but need something a bit bigger for the low wind. I am looking at a 5m kind of size what I want from my next kite is more lift than traction. I have read on here about using knots 3+4 on the Buster 5.5 to get some lift, this sounds good. But do the Rebble or Beamer also have knotted bridles to change the angle of attack? Has anyone flown a Rebble or Beamer? What are your opinions of these kites? Thanks for taking the time to read. cheers Martin

You cant adjust the bridle to change the kites angle of attack. Well, I say you cant but there may be a way. Lets just say it isnt easy like the busters. I have only had the kite for a short time and because there has been little wind since I got the kite I cant say if it will lift you. I would assume it wont lift because they sell the kites saying you can rest your arms with the kite at the zenith. The lines that come with the Beamer are excellent and the ruck sack you get with the kite is reasonable although my bag for my 5m is comming apart already. The Beamer handles are only reasonable. Im considering changing the handles already. There are quite a lot of knots in the beamers bridle and if the kite falls out of the sky (which hapopens often being a newbie and there not being a lot of wind) things do tend to tangle up. But saying that, I really enjoy flying the 5m Beamer. Last night I flew my 3.6m Beamer and feel the 5m is a little easier to fly. Just my ten pence worth Andy

I find the reviews of the kites on that site match my own experiences with them very closely. www.virtualkitestore.com/...review.htm

I get airborne very easily, much more than a beamer, bullet and Samurai. -Is quiet fast and very stable. -You can fly it in very light wind, when my friends (bullet and blade) are stuck on the ground Im still able to continue to play. -The construction quality is very good. -And its a good value for money. For me the choice is easy. Go for the Rebble you wont be disappoint. Regards,
