It has some really interested characteristics to it. First of all it has what is called the super leading edge. This big beefy graphite rod for the leading edge and stiff. Makes forward and reverse flight absolutely a dream. Then they have taken the original shape and they put two vertical on either side instead of the standard one support that would normally be here. This makes the wing a little more rigid and gives it a little bit more precise control. They made the wing wider without making it any taller which increases its aspect. It is a wider aspect range, more efficiency and more power. The reinforced mylar panels in here do not stretch. They give the kind of incredible strength and durability because as much fun in the park as it is in winds between about 1 and 10 miles an hour. When the wind gets up over 10, this becomes an incredible little engine for the buggy or skateboard or mountain board that we might use on the land. Four line controls, top bridles and bottom bridles. Line sets that are included with the kite come color coded; red for the right and gray for the bottom right, green for the left and white for the bottom left. This allows great control. In the lines themselves are a special material called spectra fiber. It is very light weight and no stretch. Incredible control is available through this kite because all the components give that sort of presence when you are flying. "
