So the new link is a bow? I thought it was more hybrid, but thier ad says 4 line bow. I would think trying to keep cost down(no bruno royalties) would have them saying hybrid not bow. I guess this is closer to a t.d. not the fuel.

It is a hybrid C, but hybrids are still bow style kites if you ask me. Another hype job? Im not sure about that, have you even flown the kite yet? The kite flies really really good, and if I wasnt unhooking, it would be what I would want to fly.

it deffinitly does not fly like a bow. the turbo 2 will be firmly in the bow catagory though. i would still say its closer to the fuel then the turbo diesel. it flys alot like a fuel with some extra depower. in 5 line mode the kite flies even more like a fuel.

Turbo 2? Dont think that kite exists. The Link is the new bow kite, it doesnt fly like a bow but it has the same range.

In the ASNews.net interview Tony breaks it down pretty good... he calls the Fuel and Turbo Diesel the two extremes (one a C kite and one a flat kite.) The Link he says is in the middle and takes qualities from both sides.

He hinted at a second generation Turbo Diesel.

I have already heard of the TD Pro, and I think have seen photos. Is this the TD 2 your talking about?
