Eclipse team has come to monitor the final production of the 08' kites (Nano & Thruster).

Unfortunately the wind lately is not that good but on their first day here in HK we could tested out the final version of Nano 12m.

What I can say is the construction made by the new factory is heaps better than the 07', see the photos...

For the performance, as there was no 12m Nano in 07', so comparing to 07' Thruster, 08' Nano is definitely more stable but responsive, and huge hang-time (see Dimitri flying with it at only ~15knots).

And it does look cool!

another close-up...

(the apartments in the background cost at least x1-2 12m Nano per square feet, sounds crazy?!)

ooops, and the material of the bladder is, i don't know how to describe in English, just kind of silicone-like feeling that's slippery itself (no power needed) & more stretchable.

Dimitri/Chris, can u explain a bit with that?
