All will tell you the same thing: U-Turn cannot be beat! Here is what racekites.com says about the Butane: I owned couple of Ernst Strobl Airea Raptors sizes 5.5 and 7.5 m.I enjoyed using them in buggy and a month ago ,I've got a Butane 6.5m. I know what to expect from U-Turn as far as quality is concern, theres no doubt in my mind that the kites produced by U-Turn are the highest in the market.Flight Characteristics:I was really amazed that the Butane flies even in a very light wind and what even more amazes me is that if you let go the handles it will just stay there waiting for your command. Turning is very tight even without the enhancement ring like the one in Oxigen -Pro. For me, the comparison is like the Raptor I 5.5 m. Butane is built to be a race kite but I find very useful in mountainboarding, althought I'm not into tricks, I can ride hook in with one hander, a piece of cake! The stability while riding on board was great and I felt so much confidence because of its constant power within the wind window.Even if its used with handles, I feel somehow that its like a depowerable kite!Jumping the Butane is also great and very floaty, with the correct position of the kite during jumping it will never luff or collapse!I find the price of Butane to be affordable in a sense that the quality and workmanship , stability and its multi-purpose capablities are all included in one kite.Overall , I think the Butane is a great , all around kite and I'm waiting it to be converted in a bar configuration, I hope the much awaited SPS will come out soon. I really feel tha this kite has much potential. I will ship wordwide for whatever it costs me, I don't make money on shipping. Thank you forr your interest, Happy bidding Place a Bid!
