Compared to the old Genesis the kite flies much better out of the bag. It is fun to fly and would make a good trainer kite. The turning is however quite stally, and the power and performance is lacking. The tips are pulled way too much by the Z bridle. Which would be relatively easy to fix except... the kite now has no LCLs. The mixer uses some little rings to join everything to which an A main slipped off on first flight... The fabric is different, seems like a new coating or a heavier weight but it is now much stiffer. I like it. Some of the bridle stitching is very bad.
I have modified the kite and it flies much better. It is a bit like a beta mod at this stage but far better than the original.
The changes I made where to remove the B and Z tip bridles, add extensions to Z to match it to the same arc as the C bridles and shortened Z about 10cm, added pigtails to the mixer and then also LCLs to the entire kite....
I think the mod like this is probably applicable to most sizes of the kite. On the 3m so far it makes it a far better kite. If you want some measurements ask, but I don't think you should need them.
I think for the 3m it seems that removing the second Z tip bridle will be good. I also played with disconnecting the tip A bridle. Which seems to improve turning speed quite a bit, but seems a little weird on the shape. I am not sure these type of changes would work well on the bigger sizes, 4m should be fine though.
The kite is quite a lot of fun. The changes I made would be relatively easy if it had had LCLs. I think it is quite a good kite that turns fast. It flys in little wind and will be good with a hydrofoil. Drift seems quite good.
If you wanted to buy one, I would tell Pansh to jump off a cliff or stick LCLs and pigtails on it or they won't get any money.
It's quite sad Pansh won't make some of what would be easy changes to the bridles, particularly their positions and lengths. The kite could easily be something to rival any premium model, but for a few of these and other changes. Oh well.
