Silver Fox 2.3 Std. Pro

Sail: Icarex/PC 31
LE's Dynamic 15
LS's Dynamic 18
LE Connectors: APA
Whisker holders: screw style (like the new Hq's)
Leech Line: New style tension system. It is affixed (real nice) Can not slip down the spin
Bridle: Adjustable bridle at all 3 attachment points using a double prusik knot (NO beads)
YoYo Stops: Can be pushed back (out of the way) They are made of hard plastic
Nose: Nice job and the transition to Leading edge pocket is excellent.
LE: Nice and a lot better material than MY original SF
LE tension system: Same as Original SF

Just my nickles worth, but I think FWK will have another winner, especially at the price point.

Do you know what the LE material is? and do they still cut the opening for the spar the same way?

New Silver Fox 2.3 PRO - Flying Wings Kite

It looks like a really sweet flying kite.

Shame it'll probably cost a lot to import to the UK

There are several pictures in the KTAI album.
Here are a few linked photos of the Pro:

Sorry I don't have any notes on the LE material and I am not that familiar with the different types of materials that are used anyway. I only know it is better than MY original SF. I can't remember how the openings for the spars were cut. But, I do think they could/should have made a nicer sleeve for the kite, especially at that price.

What are the differences between a Silver Fox 2.3 UL and the new Silver Fox 2.3 Pro Standard expecially on their weights, framing, and lower wind capacities?  I heard that Silver Fox 2.3 UL is not much of a full UL as it is pretty heavy.  Interested in the new Silver Fox 2.3 Pro and would like to see reviews from various skill level flyers.  It really "enpowers the instant improvements of your flying skills"?
