Had our first good look at the new F-one bandit 4 2011. The wing tips are a lot bigger now, and this I told reliably gives the kite a much quicker feel in the air. There are only three struts, but as the wing tips curve round at a strong angle this gives the impression it is a 5 strut kite. The bigger kites have been made with a more open canopy, and as the kites come down in size they are slightly more C shaped. There was a lot of talk about how the 14m is the same power is the bandit 3 15m and the 12m will be as powerful as the 13m bandit 3. The feeling of the kite, is to just to give the kite more feel, a more direct feel , the bandit 3 was pretty good, but for 2011 it has a very sensitive feel. Still has a great wind range. The wing tips give the kite a quicker turning ability. As there are only three struts so very fast to inflate. Looks like the bandit has just become a even better kite, stunning.
