If you're just making your first steps in the world of 4-line powerkiting and you're looking for an all-round kite providing steady power and a predictable flying behaviour, the Hornet is just what you need! After the success of the Pepper II, the Hornet has a similar grunty feel, with improved stability and ground handling. User friendliness is one of Peter Lynns main focus points when designing a kite, therefore a lot of effort has gone into making the Hornet easy to set up and fly for less experienced kite flyers. They also concentrated on getting the profile shape right making a cleaner profiled kite which would penetrate the wind window even further. This makes the Hornet easier to handle without loosing stability and making it an excellent choice for entry-level to intermediate kite flyers.
Fast, Easy Set Up:
The Hornets flying line and new 4-line Peter Lynn handles (colour coded and foam padded to ensure a soft comfortable grip) are numbered at each end with the corresponding number on the correct pigtail on the kite. This means you'll never connect the wrong flying line to the wrong part of the kite or handle, making it easy to set up your new Peter Lynn Hornet and start having fun straight away!
New Safety Gear:
New easy to recognize left and right kite killers ensures a trouble-free flying expereince knowing you always have the handles in the correct hand and if you get into difficulty releasing the handles means the Hornet floats gently to the ground, waiting until you’re ready to go again!
Material & Graphics:
Constructed using water repellent Mirai fabric, for the top and bottom skins means you can fly knowing the Hornet is protected against the elements (including UV) prolonging its life. Graphics on the top and bottom skins means it looks excellent too!
Dyneema Flying Lines & Bridle:
New 2008 Peter Lynn colour coded Dyneema flying lines are reinforced with stitched sleeving. All coloured bridles lines are stitched to reduce drag, which ensures your kite always maintains its shape and also prevents tangles when flying.
Reinforcements:
Reinforced leading and trailing edges, along with the use of heavy duty material on the ribs, makes sure the Hornet is strong and robust enough to withstand hard ground impacts! Double sewn bottom skin and back-tacked bridle tabs ensure extra durability and strength, making certain the kite is reinforced where it's needed.
Profile & Aspect Ratio:
The D-ribbed centre section of the Hornet increases the smooth, clean shape of the canopy to optimise speed and eliminate distorting without the use of extra bridles. Each size of the Hornet has been specifically designed to keep the same flying feeling and characteristics throughout the entire range.
Velcro Loops & Dirt/Sand Outlets:
The Hornet's Velcro loops makes sure you can easily pack away your kite without the chance of bridles getting tangled. The Velcro outlets at either end of the kite also ensure you can remove any sand or dirt from inside the kite with ease.
All this makes the Hornet the ultimate all-round fun kite. Each size comes in striking colour combinations with graphics on the top and bottom skin. The Hornet is available as a complete package in a cool backpack. So if you want to get into the sport and just want one kite to do it all, this is the kite to get your hands on!
