Oh, contradict. I get it now.
Didn't like the FX loaded either but it was excellent underpowered on the foil, very workable, nice loops made for fast powered gybes. Very impressed with how the Contra and the FX stayed in the air when the wind dropped though! Also, liked the bar pressure on both of those a lot more than the SB which is about the only thing I don't like about it but it's a big thing for me. I do think my next kite will be a Drifter, but can't decide on the size...Cab Driver wrote:It's a light wind kite. It's not meant to ridden "loaded". The idea is to have good performance, quick steering, light bar, easy relaunch, and ability to unhook in the lower end of the wind range. If you want to ride loaded, we have other kites that will work much better like FX, Apollo, and Switchblade.Kamikuza wrote:I didn't like it either, 2016 15m.

It's a horrible lightwind kite, really horrible.
A good jumper with a sort of "double" lift. It t stays longer in a peak of the flight.Toby wrote:Curious of how good of a jumper this kite is....
Can anyone comment?
I got somewhere an idea Apollo had four struts, but it has normal five. Struts are thin though, and 5 is more than 4..kitexpert wrote:I think four struts is a good compromise
