Trancer

|
The original Trancer was as mad as a bag of monkeys. Fast,
loads of fun and fantastic in high wind. You could pull
the lines almost at random and 9 times out of 10 the Trancer
would turn it into a trick. It's been a real challenge to
evolve this design into something more all-round, without
losing that mad edge.
This retains the carbon/kevlar composite frame, which will
take very rough treatment (well OK, crashes..). The revised
kite is much easier to hold in a fade, much easier to backspin
and flatspin. The W trick line makes it easy to lazy and flapjack.
And as a bonus, the new version needs much less wind.
Choose from Standard version in
Chikara fabric (nylon) for medium to high wind or UL in Icarex
PC31 for low to medium wind. The Chikara version is slightly
softer and more forgiving; PC31 is crisper and slightly more
demanding. Main picture shows the Trancer in black with
optional orange dacron detailing. Small picture shows the
silver chikara (heavy metal) version.

Trancer
Named after the cult science
fiction movie, the Trancer has evolved into an extremely competent
all-round trick kite.
Thanks to Matt Stevens for the final geometry and bridle
revisions.
