Has anyone had a chance to fly the most recent edition of the Beamer quad foils?  I've got a couple older versions and have a lot of fun with them. The 5m is really slow and doesn't turn all that well (compared to say a blade 4.9) but its got lots of pull and is fun to fly.  The new ones look great and I was just wondering if there would be much of a change in performance.  I'm particularly interested in the 4m to replace my 3.6. Oh yeah, a friend flew my 3.6 awhile back and he really liked it.  His wife recently passed from cancer so I gave him the foil.  I guess I really DO need the new 4m

Beamer IIIs were never really comparable to a Blade. If you are looking for a higher aspect race kite, try the HQ Crossfire II.

Beamers have always been more of an "allrounder".

The new Beamer IV retains the same easy-to-fly nature that made the Beamer III one of the most popular foil kites on the planet, and includes:

• Improved acceleration & upwind performance
• Increased power through incremental breaking
• Colored flying lines
• Sewn (no-knot) Dynema bridle for strength & reduced drag
• Dirt-outs to clean the tips
• Kite Killers and Ground Stake included

Cheers!
