Flexifoil Bullet 2005

Thanks to Adam at Turbulence kites for a demo of the new Flexifoil Bullet. Top kite very fast, and stable yet easy to turn...how do they do that with a 4.5 m kite? Power wise was similar to my 4.5 little devil which I flew straight after in order to compare. Speed wise its difficult to say as the wind was changeing a bit. Upwind-ability seemed slightly better than the LD, but not sure if others' opinions on it being a race kite contender are valid. Would need to do back to back compare on a similar sized race kite to be sure. Also available was the new Flexifoil Sabre - their first venture into depower - everyone seems to want one, but some dissenting voices when comparing to others such as the Frenzy. Verdict on the Sabre was 'not half bad for a first attempt'.
