new buggy make!!!
www.angleseyfabrication.co.uk
the wind dragon buggy range the newest name in kite buggying. The buggy's are brilliant build quality and at the same price as a flexi but in my
opinion and others, better build quality and better value for money. Have a look and see what you think
cheers
dave
p.s if you see a buggy on ainsdale with a red and blue seat please come and have a look ask for dave . I fly a 3m pkd buster and a 5m radsail pro.

I looked over the site and pictures, Im just wondering what makes this a better buggy than the flexi? Im not trying to disagree, I would just like
some more comparisons. I like educated information, and would like a few more details.
Thanks

I personally dont think the Flexi sits too high, but you do not sit low enough in the seat. Looks like you set just about like a Libre in this new
buggy. I would question the quality of the seat, just looks a litte cheap. Could be great though. Hard to tell from a picture. I would say it
would be also hard to judge which buggy has better metal just from looking. I have not heard of anyone bending a flexifoil buggy, and many people use
them for jumping. The only downfall to jumping a flexi buggy is that you can bend the wheel bolts on the rear. I would like to see them go to the
20mm bolts like the Libre. Not a bad looking buggy though.

well a good thing about this buggy all models come with 16mm bolts and i think a 6cm axel this is just my opinion and others on the beach but
different people have different opinions. i just find seeing a flexi and comparing it with this one the flexi just seems a bit less stronger than the
wind dragon

ainsdale beach formby UK
@dave jones.
How often do you go to ainsdale or southport beach for buggying, I am thinking of buying a buggy for my son and myself. send pic of the one you have
for sale, I might be interested . I have never buggied before but have a couple of 4 line kites that I fly from time to time and get pulled allong on
my feet (buster4.0 and skybums mirage 2.5mtr)
I prefer the buster ,I only fly in light winds cos I dont want to get dragged away .
How busy does it get on ainsdale beach,( is that the one near the bird sanctuary ?).
would you be interested in letting me have a go or showing me how its done with yours so I know what it is like.
I live in rochdale and can get to formby in an hour depending on traffic.
afpe45.
PS: my son is 23 and I am 59(pretty fit)

if the bolts are 16mm what is the internal bearing size as as far as I know bearings are 12,15
and 20mm internal bore

16mm bearings i think! odd sizes but the fella who makes the buggies would send a new set quite cheaply if needed
