Trainer Kite – HQ Rush IV Pro 250
The HQ Rush IV Pro R2F is the top of the line for trainer kites. This well built and incredibly durable trainer kite has everything from reinforced profiles to sewn bridles. The Rush IV Pro is designed and built to take the abuse that the learning pilot is going to put it through. The third line acts as both a reverse re-launcher and a safety line. The new design makes the kite fly well in a wide range of wind conditions ranging from very light winds of 4 miles per hour up to strong winds in the 21 to 29 mile per hour range. The Rush IV comes in 3 sizes so finding the perfect size is not a problem.
The third line is the real gem on the HQ Rush IV Pro kite. With the included leash strapped to the pilot’s wrist, when the winds get to rough or when the kite needs to land, just let go of the bar and the kite comes gently to the ground.
What’s with the “R2F” thing? It simply means that when you get your kite, you pull it out of the bag, unwind the lines and you are ready to go. There is nothing to set up. Just lay it out and go.
