sorry but that kite looks terrible lolsBest guy to ask about Pancho kites is Alex Sans ;)
but i think he now got Flysurfers, i reckon he will never look back as they are the ducks nuts



Marvin. Yesterday I was on the Pansh. Did you see me ride and boost? Not bad, eh?
I am happy to give you a try and give us a proper analysis?

oh and Alex bought the Aurora when it was like version 1. The newer one I've got has been modified even further by Pansh, and it's a huge improvement.

Do your homework. Alex (with all due respect) has older PANSHs and he's said the Aurora did not fly at all. I can assure you mine did or I would not be wasting time here. How many times do I have to say it - PANSH R&D has gone from strength to strength. Can't wait to try their A15 prototype. Oh and yes I am waiting on a friend and wind (!!) for a video of my Aurora.

you will all eat your words.

Awesome mate! Please let us know how it goes.

I noticed with the newer Auroroa's, there is little to do in terms of adjusting the bridles, unlike back in 2010 and it depends on what bar you use.

I am using my old Speed 3 Flysurfer bar and had to add a little (5cm?) of extra length to the centre lines just to give that little bit more length to the rear lines. The rear lines have to be "just right" in length for the kite to fly steady on anything from 5knots up to 20knots (12m of course).

I tested different lengths until I was able to pull the bar all the way in and not have the kite stall into the power zone.

I found this makes a huge improvement to the kite and gives maximum boost potential, especially in light winds.

The bar has to be of equal length lines.

Aparantly the A15 has thinner bridles and no pulleys?

Your steering lines are stretched? Weird. How did you check your lines? Did you replace them or something? Did you check the knot at the Black Rope?

Wait, just the bar? On what kite?

No. I was wrong. I meant to take away length from the rear lines, not add length.

The bar lines are of equal length, as normal.

UPDATE
PANSH have a 3 for 2 offer. That's three kites for the price of one Chrono, and less! I am considering two of their A15 models, sizes 12 and 18 and a free Aurora 15m! Woohoo!

So you adjusted the Black Rope above the trim straps?

Well not exactly what I wanted to show, ie boosts. But then again I am a beginner and still learning to do it.

Gawd... Can't believe I sat through 12 minutes of lawn mowing waiting for a boost. Any boost, just one boost.

Tubes will fly with twisted lines just fine. Been there, done that.

3 knot difference is not "gusty".

Otherwise, looked ok. Like a Speed2... Be interesting to see how it lasts in the long run, especially when the bridle lines start shrinking.

Interesting that it flies ok on a high-Y bar, unless thats lens distortion.

Dunno how you get snob out of that; must be an inferiority complex.

But so long as you're happy to pay for Panch... well, you get what you pay for.

You know they're Chinese? Like that other company you won't support in your "local shops" thread...

'Cause that other "local shop" (which it ain't!), is also a Flysurfer snob.

Lets' get one thing clear. I am not against Flysurfer, etc. Just their prices are effen ridiculous now.

Sure PANSH are never going to be as good as FS, or even more "low end" kites like HQ, PL, etc... (with all due respect)

But man, for the price and what you get - it ain't bad! Not bad at all. I am stoked and that is all.

So quit projecting your angst onto me. You make some erroneous comments, I correct you and zap! I'm a snob. Thank god they're not made by Ozone or there'd be bannings and deleted posts all over the show...

I want that too. This weekend should be good for it (20+knots). I'll do another video.
