** Flown for demo purposes under supervision. Supplied as kite only**
The Flexifoil Sting is ideal for the first time kiter, with simple to control and exceptionally stable flying characteristics. It's easy to fly, with simple direct control that really makes you feel that you are really connected to the kite.
Good, solid power is delivered with clean, steady acceleration right across the wind-window.
Completely new canopy shape:
The canopy of the new Flexifoil Sting has been completely redesigned using the latest Flexifoil R & D design processes. This has enabled Flexifoil to develop a kite with amazing flying characteristics.
The new ‘leading edge’ gauze mesh provides the kite with exceptional stability meaning that you do not need to worry about it folding or falling even in gusty wind conditions. This has also led to the easy re-launch facility.
The Flexifoil Sting is one of the easiest kites ever to re-launch. Just moving one handle allows the kite to roll off its leading edge. The Flexifoil Sting then flips upright and smoothly flies back up into the air! The Flexifoil Sting redefines the power kite.
It is a simple, patient and stable kite to fly which helps new kiters develop their flying skills in a safe and comfortable way.
High Wind - Ultra Stable - Safe Traction:
The Flexifoil Sting also has a place in the kit bag for advanced kite buggy pilots as an ultra stable, high-wind traction engine. During testing the Sting was used in winds exceeding 50mph!
As this kite is so unbelievably stable, non aggressive and super strong, kiting in conditions that would otherwise be classed as unsuitable is now possible due to the Sting’s gust absorbing properties (Flexifoil do recommend that you upgrade the flying lines if you are planning to use this kite for this purpose).
Features:
- Ultra stable design using the latest R&D techniques
- Legendary design process and build quality. Flexifoil have been building and designing performance kite equipment since 1972
- Gauze-covered leading edge- Speedy inflation for easy launch and superior performance
- Croc grips - Trailing edge Velcro tabs to secure bridles and minimise tangles
- Bullet-proof construction with localised reinforcements - Improves crash resistance and distributes the load from bridles
Four lines are more of a challenge to master than two lines as the flyer has the added dimension of the brake lines which can be used to exert maximum control over the kite.
The kite is great for the more adventurous beginner or the flyer who is ultimately interested in moving on to traction kiting. These flyers can develop their skills on the Flexifoil Sting before moving onto the Rage or Blade.
