I have had couple bullets and recently sold my 3.5 bullet. What a great kite for using in the buggy!

If you are using your depower kites most of the time, you can go either way! They only come up for sale once in a while so it could go easily, and can be hard to replace with another bullet if you sell it.

I have several kites that only see fly time once or twice a year. I do sell from my quiver once in a while, sometimes for no other reason than to try something else. Good luck either way and see you at WW!

I had a 4.5 and 7 as part of my quiver for a while. Both are great kites. I have moved to depower and have no regrets selling mine. No regrets in owning them either but I think it will be a step back.

The 4.5 is a good kite for somebody learning in low winds. It is not a good kite for jumping but a great buggy engine with a pretty large usable range.

Sell it!

NO

Keep it!

NO

SELL IT!
