Hey guys,
I saw this on eBay. Looks good but I am not convinced.... but am willing to become a believer :)
Has any one used one?
Any feedback welcomed!

For places with limited setting up space, or area with lots of debris, or for boat launches, it suits very well. The lines are already sorted so you dont have to walk them at all. You will also be the first one to launch too! Goto your local shop, get a demo and try it out yourself. More details: http://www.kitelauncher.com/turbolauncher.php
If your local shop dont stock them, order from us direct and if you are not satisfied we offer a full money back guarantee within 14 days, less $5 postage.
I bought one. But I'm not a fan. Tested it out a few times on the beach and in the back yard and it seemed to work fine.
But using it for real.... different story. I've tried drift launching in light winds a couple of times and got things pretty tangled up. Would be VERY nervous about trying it in a decent breeze.
You will need to learn how to use it. Probably 6-8 times minimum before you get to know how to use it effectively. It will then become a piece of cake to use, the lines will unroll easily. Trick is to wind up from the back then it unrolls much easier. If you have any questions, give us a call. Or if you are not happy of your investment, return it to us for your money back!
A mate carries a little block of rubber with 4 slots cut part way through.
He winds the lines as usual until he gets to the kite then puts each line in a slot before disconnecting from the kite.
When setting up he attaches each line to the respective pigtail, removes the rubber block, then unwinds and launches. It works fine.
I prefer to walk my lines.
