I have heard there is a 3 metre version of the beamer out there can any one shed any light on the subject? also could you let me know what site its on . many thanks

As far as I know there is only the 3.6 Beamer out which can be purchased as a handle flown kite or bar kite (which would be the 3.6m Beamer TSR version). New for 2007, HQ is introducing the Beamer III series, which will include a 3m version along with some pretty new sporty graphics.

i never heard of a 3m beamer unless they coztomized it as far i am sure of there is only 3.6 beamer like mine there brilleant kites:singing:

If you click on the link that Leebrianh put up you can see the new beamer III. The 3m version of this kite from the pictures I've seen is red with a black & white stripe . Similar to the blue one in the picture, only the blue is red. Should be interesting. Definitely like the new graphics.

Not sure, but it appears that HQ is doing away with the decimal meters and just going for standard with the Beamer series..so there will be a 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m and 7m version of this kite when it gets released (which is suppose to be the end of dec. beginning of the new year).

thanks to every one that has helped me in my search 4 the new beamer111 i have found what i was looking 4.

I just got off the phone with Chris from Kitty Hawk Kites and got some inside info on the new Beamer 3. The 1st container ship is scheduled to come into port next Monday. That means my new Beamer 3, 4.0 meter will be at my house by next Friday! It seems He knows the bigwigs at HQ and Chris has flown the prototype and says you can stand the kite on its wingtip and it will not luff or collapse. He said the kite is a great product and was really helpful in my selection of a new kite. Hell- I will be one of the first if not the first person to have this kite! I was looking to get a Beamer 2 and then got talking to Chris- Right place right time!
:frog:New graphics, better bag- I asked about the zipper and it is still there! I will be flying next Saturday and if I can still use my arms I will write a review. I have been using this site for some time so I guess I better start contributing!

-Got to go, I see the treetops moving!

The "big-wigs" are Tiim and Melanie at HQ-USA in Virginia. They do a great job of supporting all their dealers.

I'm glad you are enthusiastic. Kitty Hawk is a good shop, I'm told.

We are lucky in that most of the US distributors are really good at supporting thier dealers, so you will get good service from those who care to give it.

Enjoy the Beamer 3. I'm looking forward to it as well!

Have flown the 5M and i can tell you it is a great kite, i chose the 5M as it was the only one i could really do the comparison with the beamer 2 All in all i would say it is more stable, more power better turning rate.

Its a good kite and for those that want a de-power kite keep your eyes open for the new HQ apex

Cheers
