Description

Completely customizable to suit your flying style, the E3 includes yo-yo stoppers and an adjustable, 10-gram spine weight to help you find your flying style, and tweak it for a more radical edge as you improve. The E3 delivers forgiving handling, easy but graceful tricks from any position, and a hand-wrapped carbon frame for the response and wind range of a top-end competition kite. Wingtip battens and a reinforced trailing edge give extra stability in stalls, while adjustable standoffs let you customize performance in different winds.

Reviews for Prism E3 Stunt Kite (Sports) This kite flies great. It is easy to assemble, disassemble, and store. The bridle, standoff, and spine-weight adjustments are wonderful to have to cope with various wind conditions. My only complaint is that the joint between the two pieces of one of the leading edges broke with what seemed like very little provocation (nose first crash in 8mph winds) and led to a $30 repair. Perhaps it was my fault though. But, I do have to drop the review a little because Prism has taken more than a week to ship the spare parts after saying they would ship the next day on the phone; as all stunt kites are bound to need repairs at some point, a review should take into account how easy it is to get the kite repaired. All in all though, I would buy the kite again and would recommend it to anyone interested in a serious stunt kite who has mastered the basics.
Reviews for Prism E3 Stunt Kite (Sports) Great kite! Not a toy for kids--great for grown up kids. Ultra responsive, very trickable, great for intermediate to expert fliers. Would recommend this product to anyone who has mastered the basics of dual-line sport kites.
Reviews for Prism E3 Stunt Kite (Sports) The good:

Got the Citrus version, beautiful, highly configurable, very precise (doesn't tumble while sharp cornering)

Has resisted some mild crashes (got to stop trying to fix my cap while flying)

Spectra line is light and slippery (compared to some low-end kite's line I have). You can really twist the lines and barely notice any friction

The annoying:

The kite performance improves with some minor adjustments I found in this forum. They are very simple to pull off but should have been pre-made in the kite!

The not so good:

The tips at the end of the leading edge are extremely fragile (the only part in the entire kite made of hard breakable plastic), that coupled with non elastic, extremely tight laces meant 5 minutes of struggling to put them on and one tip broken on the first untie... tsk tsk. In short this part could have been way better designed, luckily I got a repair kit (get one too!)

The package was missing one of the small battens (small fiberglass segments that tightens the little pointy wings at the sides). Imagine my disappointment after waiting so long just to have a $180 wall-art. Prism was prompt to answer my claim and offered to send me the missing batten and even pay for international shipping. Kudos to Prism but please do an inventory next time! In the meantime I've managed to "fix it" with some other kite's piece and this is how I'm writing the review

After the first morning of flight in regular winds one of the lines is now longer than the other.. easy to fix but suboptimal.
