This thread  seems to prove that one man's trash  is another's treasure  . Gardner Nothin wrong with that. So far no one has defended the Stranger Level 7. |

The L7 needs no defending. It's the greatest kite ever designed. This thread seems to prove that one man's trash is another's treasure . Gardner Nothin wrong with that. So far no one has defended the Stranger Level 7. |

Oh I forgot about this one.
Vented Jam Session.
I have the original HQ Jam Session and that is still a great kites. I learned that some great kite don't transition well into great vented kites. The vented Jam is a stinker. The bridle is much different and doesn't behave well. So I made a bridle duplicate to the Jam Session and it was worse. The vented Jam is a big disappointment.

Skippy's point was that buying one Benson leads to another, then another, and another, thus emptying the bank account.  I'm still not seeing the downside here. Mike. |

Don't regret any, especially not my L7 but there's plenty I do count my lucky stars I tried someone else's first. Special mentions go to a 'friday afternoon' French Connection and the Mohawk.

I'm probably putting myself in front of the firing squad but I really hated the Backtracker. It's the one reason why I never got into quads.

I traded once for a CR Fury .85 - one fly of that was quite enough to persuade me to move it on again.

Acrobatx — never found a wind range it liked, would tip wrap at the slightest provocation, and broke so often that I could have just bought a proper kite for all the replacement part costs I incurred. It and its cheap, heavy, and obnoxiously fragile pultruded frame (with several proper Avia components) is now a wall decoration.
