  • Gr8 kites to fly but whats about launching Scorpion? It must be fully inflated?

  • Yip, the Scorpion have to be fully inflated before launching.

  • Gah I still don't have that freaking bar.. Got it in a couple of months tho <3 .. Cant wait to finally use this kite in a proper way xD .. Too bad the 13 doesn't come in yellow/purple color, I love that one. I have green/yellow :) .

  • Is that a closed-cell foil? I'm not too familiar with the C-shaped foils like that. I do see it's a depower, however...

  • Yes its a closed-cell foil. Check out Peter Lynn Arc's, brilliant kites! The latest, the Synergy, is an amazing bit of kit!

  • wot is song plz

  • The song is by Megadeth and its called Scorpion, it tells you at the end of the video.

  • Very nice! I purchased the Scorpion 13.0 a while ago.. Still need some money for the bar tho.. Right now I use the bar that came with the PL Guerilla I .. sucks xD ..

  • can u get massive jumps like really high with the scorpian with lts of hang time ??

  • In a word yes! In the right wind conditions and with some practice you can go big!

    O.

  • yeh when you depower you loose lots of pop

    btw where was this filmed?

  • lol i know how to jump :D i was just wondering if de-power made much difference. wats the point rly?

  • The difference is that in gust conditions you can ease off the power if you want, they also give you a larger wind range than fixed bridles. Some people love depowers others hate them. I personally like both just depends what you want to do really....

    O.

  • If it was above me like at 1 oclock or sumthin, it's just when people power it up before they jump does it just give extra lift?

  • No, if your going along and the kite is at 1 o'clock and you pull the bar in it will stay roughly the same. For jumping you take the kite from 1 o'clock and behind you fast to 11 or 10 o'clock and pull in the bar at the same time and UP you go if the wind is right.....

    Hope that helps.

  • Hi just a quick one if i was to stand with the kite kinda infront of me and i pulled it to maximum power would i just be lifted up or pulled or wat? ta

  • If you mean right in front of you, 6 foot off the ground, you would be pulled forward.

    O.

  • Hi can anybody tell me how the inflation zippers work? Can you leave any of them open whille flying?

  • Nope, the zippers must all be closed when flying otherwise the kite will deflate and loose shape!

    O.

  • west sands! I can nearly put a bet on that

  • Yip, its West Sands at St Andrews within the dedicated kite zone. Brilliant beach!

  • I cant pretend no more-blkcamo on tk forum ;] and ground hitman at west sands - brilliant beach indeed- pretty hard as well hahahaha

  • I have the first twinskin kite from peter lynn (ARC)

    its from 2002 i think... its an old model but flyes verry good.

    I'm now trying to buy A guerilla or venom.  any tips?

    greetz

  • hi!

    If you are going to buy a Guerilla it will have to be a second hand one as Peter Lynn no longer make them. The Venom is now on the second version and is a brilliant kite, I have a 16m Venom for using on the water and love it. If you want something with a little bit less lift then have a look at the Peter Lynn Vortex, lower aspect that the Venom and the Scorpion but full of pull!

  • Really? I find when first launching the kite they tend to tuck in slightly but this is simply due to under inflatation, as soon as the manta gets off the ground dive it round to the left or right, this forces more air in to it and inflates it, after that I have found the kite completely solid in the sky!

  • i found the mantas wings kept tucking in

  • i just brought a ozone 6mtr samy

  • The Samurai's are very nice kites, I have the 2m and 3m for my kite school. Not in the same league as the Frenzy or Scorpion and no where near the new Ozone Manta :)

  • You tried the 16M

    Cant choose between the Scorpion 16m or the Ozone Frenzy 12m

    What you recon.

  • I havent tried the 16m Scorpion. I owned an Ozone Frenzy 07 10m and found it got going a lot easier in lower wind that the scorpion did, simply because you don't need to inflate the Frenzy.

    If you want to chat about the kites, drop me an email via tractionkiting co uk and I will be happy to help.

    Cheers,

    O.

  • what a cool kite

  • Ye I like it :)

    O.

  • What is the name of this song..?

  • Its at the end of the video. The band is Megadeth, the name of the song is Scorpion.
