BobL Posted July 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 thanks cerfvoliste i found some specs for the Mantis on the web that match my quick measurements of the kite, also read several positive reviews...unless Ken made other models with the same measurementts as the mantis, then i guess a mantis it is. hopefully the Level One will be as easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the tail strap on the back side of the spine for more identifying information. Mine is a UL. Black Diamond 3pt lower spreaders, P200 spine, P100 lower leading edge. Sorry, don't want to de-spar the kite to see what the upper leading edge is, but that should be enough to figure out if you have a UL or standard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mebeatee Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Wow!!! Nice score and id's of the kites. I have a red/grey/black Mantis (among many BMK's.!!!) The sail can have a 3D effect in the air. bt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
