1. Slightly different bridle set up. Only single pully on the kite bridle now, but the other pully is right at the kite. How this new set up changes the flying will be important.
2. New colours, I got a white one.
3. Sleaves over the strut connecting valves.
4. New bag but not much change. Bag for the bar is definately cheaper, no zips, just pop the bar in the bag.
5. Apparantly Cab. has used a new fabric which should make the kite more robust...but could not see any difference.
Need some wind to give it a go now. This is my light wind kite.
If it is 10% better than last years model that would be good.
Cab. should use the spinning chicken loop as standard with this kite...the chicken loop in my pack was the non-spinning one.
Col has seen this thread already and while I was out doing some errands he has come in and stolen the 9M CB3 and a 12M Ion2 I think even Col will keep the Ion in the Car!!!
Yeah, went well, *ucking windy! Of course it dropped out once I got wet, only had a few wobbly and gusty runs before it dropped to sub 15 knots, with the occassional bullet of 20+ Col got the best of it, he had a couple of hours out there, wind got up to 40+ during that time, he has put a review up just now. Will post some pics and video soon, just sussing the video camera software and doing some work too.
My flagship love and joy is gone.
