Looks to be a strong kite any feedback about flying this type.I'd be interested in a Nano for my son.
They haven't got them in Aus as yet.
Although i think there is hope Aus will get the first batch.
From the pictures it looks like Eclipse have taken on board feedback from people last year and improved both kite and bar construction.
Looking forward to playing.......
Its Good how they give the forward and side on perspectives on the first page as you can see the huge differences between these kites.It would be nice to have a table like that of all makes in different sizes to compare one against the other. ithink i just gave myself a new project.

Tester in Brisbane right now, next Wed on up the Sunny Coast. Contact us or Adventure Sports in Noosa if interested in trying. Kite will be up Sunny Coast all next week too.
I have an order in for some Nanos, but hopefully the demo Nanos will get here first from the Importer.
This company does go to lengths for their Moto of By the riders for the riders.
the mini fifth line is Aussie input, and the Bar upgrade was helped along by feedback from Poor Reli and others.
Remember 9psi in LE. I was underinflating and noticed a big difference when getting pressure right.
this is from the US owner, posted on Kiteforum in answer to what are differences in performance.
quote:
"You will see allot of changes in the way the kite preforms under the two extremes in the wind range at the low end the kites will make more park and pull power but you still have the kites speed that will help you.
In high winds the thruster is more stable, it does not do anything strange is super gusty wind or high winds when you really load up the kite. Also its more stable when you loop the kite.
The thruster has a tiny bit more bar pressure on the 8,10 and they also can turn a bit slower not super crazy fast like the 2007. You now have two speed settings on all the kites.
Also the bar is totally new and improved 1000% that was the biggest complaint from the 2007 kites that the bar lacked some nice features like really simple QR, longer depower line, replaceable depower line, and better primary safety. For 2008 this has all been addressed and the new bar totally rocks. Our new QR is the best and safest on the market -hands down. You can see it in the bar movie."
How did you guys manage to have the first batch sent to Australia?
It is excellent that the Eclipse team has listened to you guys advice on the bar.
So you think the mini fifth line is good - has it been decided if there s going to be a stopper ball system or the cam cleat system?
It aint set in stone as yet.
I think the Aussie importer can wield his influence and get the first batch here. Fingers crossed.
The fifth came from Ral's ideas, in fact i think he fitte it to a thruster he had.
From what i have heard and i may be wrong but the cleat on the chicken loop stays.

nothing wrong with a bit of sceptical humour.

Of to the general section i go. Baaaaaaaaaaa
or maybe barrrrrrrr humbug!!!!lol
With areference to the chameleon might not even be called that when its finally built . i think the name suits it well as strange things happen when moving kite controls more than 300mm
