i didn't get much space to fly today but it fly's reallllly nice! on the standard bridle the side slide realy feels "locked on" half axles are smooth, when the kite is belly down, nose away pop one hand and it well spin around wonderfully can't get it into a fade consistently but thats me, not the kite fade catch's are great, havent recovered from a fade by rolling yet, but a few more time of practice should fix that
