Hello redman333...take a look at this 2.5 m2..since you don't mind spending a little extraredman333 wrote: Its a 2M kite. Will this be a good kite to learn on. I don't mind paying little extra on this since I plan on using it to help teach a few other how to fly once I get up and going.
Your the first person that's said skip the trainer kite. Since I've never flown anything before but a single line kite as a kid I prefer to damage a trainer than my full size kite if something goes wrong. Also I would like to see if I can get my little brother, my dad, my girlfriend and her little brother into the sport and would never allow them to just try flying my full size kite. That's the other reason for wanting a trainer so they can kinda get an idea of what the sport is.madmax7 wrote:10 pages of this? Man U guys are patient.
U bought a kite w/o a bar. Brilliant.
U r going to take lessons, smartness move yet!
My suggestion, locate instructor, take ur kite. Have instructor set u up with a bar and teach you, and also use ur kite if wind allows, skip trainer kite!
Instead of spending additional funds on trainer kite, practice w ur kite in proper wind range and perhaps use that $ on second lesson
Max
Ps my trainer kite started collecting dust right after I flew my first kite (w a lesson)
I like that too, does anyone here have an idea how much this kite is? I kinda think I'd like to stick to an inflatable though. Only because I think it would help to learn relaunch and body dragging. What do you think?SupaEZ wrote:Hello redman333...take a look at this 2.5 m2..since you don't mind spending a little extraredman333 wrote: Its a 2M kite. Will this be a good kite to learn on.

I do not know how much it cost...North is usually more because of the excellent quality
Wind range 2kn (No BS ).....to 16kn....as per North

The Lizard is a foil....so very good for land training
The Rise 2.0 is a tube...good for over water training...it will "probably" need more wind than 2kn to fly
I dunno how much they are, but the trainers are pretty much the same across the board if you get it from a good kite brand.redman333 wrote:

A company called method has a kite trainer for about $124 on their site that Is a 2/4 line kite trainer in 3m size. I think this is nice because it states I can use an existing bar and lines to fly in the 4 line mode. Then I could get my bar and lines for my full size kite and use it with the trainer.
Here's a link to the site he sent me.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post links if not let me know and I will remove it.
