Toby, love you brutha but your wrong sir. I own a brand new 2006 20m never used still in bag to this day. This was the last of the Rhino 20m ever made. The 18m and 20m are different design and shape than the rest of the Rhino sizes for that year. The 2006 18m and 20m were a much more higher aspect shape than the 16m and smaller sizes. 16m and smaller were a little less high aspect and set further back in the window. I think Ken Winner kept the 18m and 20m higher aspect to force them further forward in the window for light wind/ up wind ability.Toby wrote:2006 had no Rhino in 20? I think 16 or 18.
A Vegas in 16, which was good. And I think Vegas 18 I think...

I got to demo this kite two times before buying a new one and they had big, big power and went up wind real well for a C shape kite. The Older Rhino2 which were many on the old Jetty Island local scene in say 2004. They had real big leading edges with big fat struts. Giant power but just not as refined as the 2006. The R620, not only being the last year for the power pig, it had received updated smaller more arrow dynamic strut shapes compared to the old fat ones on the R2. It also had batons in the canopy which just made this thing even more rigid and rock solid. Tons of power and turned much faster than the old R2. I figured one day, I'd spray paint it camo color and rock it with big Transcend logo.RDM wrote:bustingbladder wrote:Yes, what about the 2006 Rhino 20m?
