my experience over the last 2/1/2 wks riding the 9,11 and 13....
bar pressure in the light setting= between the XB3 and the SB3
bar pressure in the lighter setting= similar to the SB3
13 is the replacement for the 14 Contra3...same power and easier to fly
all sizes go up wind easier
extremely stable and VERY smooth in the air
hang time=WOW
11=same power as the 12 XB3
9=seems slightly less power than 9XB3
I've primarily flown the XBs since the beginning and loved the XB3..thought it was perfect. So started out flying the XB IDS in the light setting and for the first 1/2 hour thought they had ruined a great kite...now that I've been on the kite for awhile, I'm flying in the lighter bar setting...the kites are WONDERFUL!!!!!!
all smiles here
by the way...demos over the past two wks have provided all very positive feedback regarding, the stability, smoothness, turning, jumping, hangtime, speed, self landing, bar pressure, etc. Only negative; a couple wished it still had the over ride two on the depower line. These demo were in chop and waves.
