The Sting is easy to fly, with simple direct control that really makes you feel that you are connected to the kite. Good, solid power is delivered with clean, steady acceleration right across the wind-window.
Sting Features
New 2007 Canopy ShapeThe canopy of the 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.
New leading edge gauze
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. Just moving one handle allows the kite to roll off its leading edge. The kite then flips upright and smoothly flies back up into the air!
Extended size range
The new 3.3m really packs a punch and bridges the gap between power kite and traction kite. This means buggying and landboarding are now within reach at a great price.
High wind, ultra stable, tough and safe traction
The Sting also has a place in the kit bag for advanced kit buggy pilots as an ultra stable, high-wind traction engine. During testing in North Wales 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 classes as unsuitable is now possible due to the Sting's gust absorbing properties (we do recommend that you upgrade the flying lines if you are planning to use this kite for this purpose.)
