There was a post on the forum asking someone to compare the Delta Drive to the Widowmaker. It did not get many responses. Since you have experience with the Widowmaker, Delta Drive and Widow could you compare the kites?

The WM and the DD are totally different kites, but both extremely enjoyable. The DD LOVES to be on its back, or in a fade. Its a multilazy machine. It's faster then the WM, and is more precise in precision figures. Personally I think the kite would be great for teams. Good Pull, Top Quality, etc.
The WM is more trick friendly for rollups and tricks like that. It's also precise, but the DD excels more. Doesn't pull as hard as the DD so tricking in High winds is a breeze. The WM also has a GREAT low wind range. I've flown it in 2 mph winds (the standard) and had a ball with it. Great quality as well.
Long story short- I'd say the DD is a less tricky, but more precise version of the Widow Maker.
Both kites in the bag really compliment each other very well.
The same applies for the UL models of both kites as well.
Very nice and dang Jon is getting good with that camera and editor, some pretty impressive shots and almost seemed in places he was getting the music synched with the kite.
Hey Mike- not trying to sound cocky, but I am the editor for the videos. Jon tells me what he'd like done, and I experiment with them until I think they're effective, then send them off to Jon for more suggestions.
