Here's a thread that goes into all that! http://www.powerkiteforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=11782

Manufactured by the Weifang Albatross Stunt Kite Factory. Listed at 5 meters..... potentionally dangerous if the kite and included gear are not up to snuff.

No other real information on it, but please be aware that some of the kite factories in the Weifang area are know to produce a glut of knock-off and in some cases, kites of inferior quality. Not saying that it the case here (although the name of the supplier sounds omniously familiar), but next to impossible to pull any other meaningful info on the kite.

If you are leaning towards it because of the bird silhouette, you might consider a PKD Brooza (I believe it is discontinued, but still available in a variety of sizes both new and used). Much better known as far as quality and specs.

ok dont quite understand wat the outcome of that thread was are you saying this is a piece of crap or is it worth a look has anybody flown it ??

I do find it very, very strange that the original pic is watermarked KitesRUs. The only two stores I know with that name are located in New Hope, PA and in the UK (selling HQ, Peter Lynn, Flexifoil and RadSails). To the best of my knowledge both are reputable stores, and I have done business with the one in the US (although I don't believe they are associated with each other).

I'm just easily confuzzled.

The PKD Brooza III is a great kite. I still have one in stock in the color scheme listed in Sams' post. Its one of the best looking kites out there! A shame they stopped making it.

Frogstar if you're in the UK you should check out kitecrowd it's a UK based board, finding one there could save you shipping from the states. http://forum.kitecrowd.com/
