Team Kite Test!

Can you listen to this: Sorry, no playback is available for this post.

In October 2004 the AERIALIS Team Flyers started to look for another kite to replace the WSOs that we found lacking something in the team/precision department. We collected eight now classic kites to a big test and here's the story!

Pro Reactor

An old design but still able to deliver the goods when it comes to precision/team flying. Definitely not a trick kite, but sturdy, stable and reliable.
