Had this kite out a couple days in lower than normal 12m wind for me. Initial thoughts: Very stable - I was able to even put a student on this kite and he went very well with it. Smooth handling and responsive - has nice even pull thru the turns and a n 'even' bar pressure feel wherever the kite is. It was on a 51cm bar setup. Finish is great with some clever layout of dacron in the right areas for stiffening and wear points. I didn't use the optional spider system.
Will post more when we get some decent wind to test it in.
hey kusu, Have you got any more info on the menace, and why are you useing a 51cm bar. do you think it could be suitable for wakestyle as well as boosting
That's the size bar that comes with the 12. It would be ok on the 43cm bar as well. I'm no expert on wakestyle, but it does have a steady smooth pull thru the window so I guess it would be fine. The smaller 8 and 10 look pretty high aspect so I'd say stick with the m80 in smaller sizes for pure wakestyle. WIll post more as I test them all out.
