Hi all, Anyone owns a rush kite or a para kite. I just ordered a para kite with a lot of colors. widht 3.5 m power: 180Kg, above 6 Bft the power is doubled. It is also known as a imitation peel. Much cheaper, very good quality. Price in The Netherlands 399 (approx. $ 200). The rush kite is 2.5m in width and is made by a company who also makes parapentes. Superb quality but difficult to get. Anyone has info on this kites?

Much cheaper, very good quality. I've seen a couple of different rip-off Peels. They both flew like dogs. (You don't need close-up inspection, you can tell from a distance, without flying it yourself) Ha! Serves them right! In fact, it's kinda sad, when they tend to end up in Peter's factory, sent by disgruntled customers who thought they were buying the real thing at a bargain price... Andrew -- New to rec.kites?
