tony c Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Hi I have a hybrid 240 - great outdoor zero wind kite - designed by horvath built by hq has anyone flown a horvath "Long way home " ? and how does it compare to a hybrid 240 - question is - is the Longway home worth investing in if you have a 240 ? www.horvath.ch thanks tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 While I don't have the LWH, I do have the almost-as-large Like a Rolling Stone, as well as an Urban Ninja, a C'est la Vie and an I'll Be Back. Each of them have very different flight characteristics and the make and quality are fantastic. I can only imagine that the 240 would be quite different in speed, agility, response to subtle wind turbulence/updrafts, and other glide ratio etc from the others. Especially because it is made of slightly different materials than the ones that come out of the Swiss atelier. I my self considered the LWH, but I'm glad I settled on the LRS standard. The larger kite takes alot more space and indoor flying would need an airplane hanger!. Write to Thomas Horvath. He is very approachable, friendly and informative. He will help you with the perspective of a real flyer and no sales hype. I LOVE his kites. More $ but utterly worth it. My go-to SLK.

tony c Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Mitch thanks for your reply you are obviously a horvath convert but I have to say my chinese kitewalker Urban Ninja is just as good as the more expensive original guess design is key agree horvath design is magic Sorry but you missed key points in the mail - you havnt flown either kites so cant compare and I was asking about OUTDOOR zero wind NOT indoor devil is in the detail as always またね Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guru4tru Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 wow this forum is so non-cosmopolitan no idea no meaningfull replies なし Hi Tony C, "NON-COSMOPOLITAN"...That's "good" Right?!?! Well, that's "good" in my book! (But, then I'm the guy who was trying to make a "Power Kite Buggy" out of his John Deere tractor! heehee!) The "no idea no meaningfull replies" I don't understand, Mitch said: "Write to Thomas Horvath. He is very approachable, friendly and informative. He will help you with the perspective of a real flyer and no sales hype." That's pretty "meaningful" advice to me...maybe, you just can't follow directions? Keep It Up! Duane EDIT: I noticed that they have a post at http://www.gwtwforum.com/index.php?topic=5110.0 You might check it out and maybe post your question in that forum.
