My Comments:
initial thoughts un packing -didnt seem different until pumped it up and there was no centre strut ! construction seems pretty much 08
bar lines appear unchanged, bag same
set up out of the bag good, thou like last year i think sets up to be too oversheeted
testing conditions, nnw, onshore contacio's, close outs
flies like a dream , nearly torch like in smooothness
seems a bit higher aspect and maybe flatter in arc?
super dooper stable, under flew it a few times, it fell back and regathered composure when retensioned the lines and off you go - no dramas
stood on beach with it overhead, steady as
turns on a dime, usual rebel depower
as for a 7m, much better grunt ,going to have to keep my 6m 08 for nuking days i think
no bad things to say really - did replace one pump clips with zip ties thou and colour blue/brown a bit drab - cant win them all!
like molly said- do your self a favour
