The Backtracker is a BEGINNER kite and I am personally dissapointed with its perfomance. It is tough to fly and for the difference in price.. go for the Rev II. It comes with good handles and a good set of lines instead of the plastic handles and Dacron line. Good luck either way, Sandy = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Date: Mon, 13 Mar 1995 11:05:00 -1000 From: jgrav@mav.com (Jim Graverholt) Message-Id: Organization: Maverick International Inc. Subject: Re:Backtracker Here's another 2 cents worth: I bought a backtracker because I thought I wanted to try 4 lines. I glad I did. I learned on this indestructible kite **then** I bought a RevII. I sold my backtracker to a friend that wanted to learn. He is testing it's indestructiblity now. It takes a licken' and comes up flying!
