Just curious how many others are flying these?  What are your thoughts? I've only got a little over 12 hours on mine so far and I'm totally stoked with it. Denny |

In general, you will find that a person's "stokosity" with a kite is inversely proportional to how long s/he has been flying it. 1 hour = This is better than sex 10 hours = This is better than any of my other kites 100 hours = This is better than your kite 1000 hours = This is better than mowing the lawn The Talon is a beautiful kite. Haven't flown one, but they all seem to look good.  |

what kind of wind does the ul fly in and how does it stack up against other uls and/or sul? I found messing with any colorizer is a black hole of time I think there is also something to be said for what they look like in the sunlight as well. All the pics of the talons i have seen have been pretty. Wonder if there is a "i wont make that color combo cuz it will be ugly" clause |

Wonder if there is a "i wont make that color combo cuz it will be ugly" clause No such clause exists (I can think of at least two kites that are a testament to that! ). Denny's spot-on with the 75ft lines thing. I fly on 100's and one day flew someone elses Talon UL on 80ft lines and for a while thought his kite was better, but it was just the lines. Mark |

No. You guys need to redefine your definition of 'Ugly'.** Both different people, different continents, same nice kite Mark **I NEVER use flo.pink....that helps! |

Mark Are you using 50# or 90# lines at 75 feet? |
