Mitch Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Anybody have experience with premier's Canard? Supposed to be pretty responsive and perhaps even steerable low wind SLK, but the only vids I can find are very brief not suggest any nimble flight characteristics. My Wala broke it's back and while I intend to fix it, my eye is now wandering. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I haven't flown one, but I thought I'd post a pic for posterity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windofchange Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 The Canard is a very nice kite, flies exceptionally well and looks great. I have a couple, I haven't really spent much time with it in light winds so can't really comment on that but it does do very well in the stronger winds (4-5 mph +). The Canard seems to be a very high pointing kite so it sits very nicely in the air. If you are happy with the Wala, you may want to take a look at the Wala XL. The larger XL glides much easier than the smaller version and is still very active to fly. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got my eye on the XL but keep hoping against hope that the Manta will go back into production. So that's two on the "gifts for me" list.

John Barresi Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 I've also seen this kite used indoors... A little heavy, but great glide ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kite Shoppe Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I've also seen this kite used indoors... A little heavy, but great glide ability. Right! Alan Cunningham. However, he got Sky Shark P 90's from me and completely reframed it for Indoor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he got Sky Shark P 90's from me and completely reframed it for Indoor. Now that's Very interesting. You mean you can re-frame it lighter and it still keeps its balance for better glide? Is there a vid of this flight anywhere? It's a beautiful kite even as a fixed line toy so I can't imaging how graceful such a minimalist kite would look as a glider. What would Litsong Lu do in a case like this? LOL Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
