Hi, as you know winter is approaching so it turns out iv picked the worst time to get into the sport . So iv been advised to purchase a 3 meter training kite to get the hang of things. So im after a Slingshot B3 if anyone has one they dont use anymore? Thanks Jono
My 2 cents, don't buy a three metre, get two metre's max. A three metre trainer in heavy wind sucks. I watched a mate of mine get dragged around like a rag doll on the end of a three metre trainer kite in heavy wind. J

its true we have one in the school its amazing in light winds .. like anything up to 14 knots but i will never bring it out in more than that, it justs pulls to hard to train on :) plus they are proper expensive.. like $450 retail or something from memory a 2m one will cost you more like $200
you could get a slingy B4 or what ever you called it OR you could get something like the 2.5m airush trainer or the OZONE Imp 3 line trainer, it has a very good safety system on it and can be relaunched with ease.
If you are looking for an ultra cheap option check out 2 m Dual Line Stunt Parachute Parafoil Sport Kite K020 on Ebay for the grand total of $9.90 + $13 delivery from HK
Tho I have never seen or tried them could be shiz or a bit of Fun
3 to 4 meters and 4 lines, to teach you about sheeting and on handles so its safe. You will pay 4-10 times in a shop vs what can be had online. www.panshkite.com/ or Ebay
