Can anyone give a review? Turning speed, bar pressure, low end, unhooking, and so on.

We got one in as a demo a couple days ago. Really nice. Not as pure C as a Fuel -- more depower and less on rails when keeping the kite parked. The boost was particularly good. One guy got off his Torch and boosted much higher on the 50/Fifty within a few minutes of riding it. A different guy who is newer said he liked it too. He was coming from RRD's. Another guy said it was sorta like the RPM.

Turns fast but not hyper
Generates power and lift like a C kite. Average power for the size.
Built average -- not super tough like a Slingy, but not weak like a ....
Sweet unhooked.
Bar pressure on the lighter side of medium.

We are going to see about keeping the demo kite.

Can you compare it to a blade prime?

Found reviews from two magazines, sounds really good! But it would still be very interesting to gear from "normal" people!
