Yeap just come staright in off the water a very happy camper. OK so conditions no wind up to 15knots at squids flat water, I'm am advanced rider 75kg. On the lenton 129 and the 136misfit 08. I didn't even think I was going to get planning, yet jumped on the new 13m 08 fuel (straight out of the bag) and was going up wind unless I stopped or submarined.
Flying the kite feels smaller and lighter then last years, but it had plenty of power and pop. It hung or floated when there was basically no wind and was super stable. Turned faster and was lighter on the bar. Nice smooth depower The fifth line trim really does change the aspect of the kite in flight and is now adjustable at the attachment so you can really set this kite up to suit different styles of riding.
Water relaunch is basically the same, came out of water in very little breeze.
I'd really like to get it lit and see how it jumps as it had great lift in such a light wind quiet surprised at the height I got.
The usual slingshot bomber construction, but with a few tweaks. the canopy is super clean with no wrinkles and has little to no flutter. The new inflate valve lock is nice and simple, no more poping the valve on those really hard kite slams.
Now I have to figure out which way to go this summer fuel or rev?

if you have tried the rev a comparison between the 2 kites would be good, many people saying the same thing

No worries I'll do a comparison as soon as I get a run on the fuel in strong breeze. Possible this week or saturday..
