Slingshot Fuel, RPM, Rally Reviews

Postby peet on Fri Dec 17, 2010 2:03 pm

Due to recent crappy wind conditions, i've been unable to test them when fully powered, or even touch the depower line. Will update them next time the wind blows :)

2010 RPM:

3 very nice but quite different kites.
The rally does pretty much everything well.
RPM is a great freestyle kite, especially if you want to unhook
The Fuel is a beauty, a beast and the most refined kite i've ever ridden.

I'm not changing anything as it stands, just reviewing.... As for what i'm gonna ride next year... god only knows.

I am very fond of the RPM's so far, but I really wanna get the fuel out in decent winds.

Could I give your 8m rpm a go sometime? wanna see if the turn speed can be de-tuned sufficiently.

Wise words!

Of course, any time on the 8m your welcome!

I'm itching to try the Fuel again in high winds that would be the decider like for sure!

The plot thickens!
