Masquerade P200 Framed Prototype
Manufacturer Wind Range: 5 - 20 mph Optimal Wind Range (IMHO) : 5 - 15 mpg Weight (my actual kite) 9 3/8 oz 270 g September 20 , 2003 I took out the P200 for my first flight as MY kite for about 2 hours. WOW. I did several low level 540, just perfect. Also the kite holds a really good pancake so that allows for nice flic flacs or 540s. This Masquerade has yoyo stoppers & I have been practicing doing roll ups. The kite is very controllable when it is wrapped up. So now I can work on those Jacob Ladders while wrapped to do several lateral rolls. More to Come.....
September 17 , 2003 I have coveted this kite since I tried it at Grand Haven. Recently, I made a deal with Wayne & swindled this kite from him. He really didn't want to part with it, but I twisted his arm. ;-) Me Bad!!!!!!!
This kite has Yoyo stoppers & covers for the upper leading edge connectors. Rollup maneuvers are much easier with this kite & the heavier frame allows for momentum based moves to be executed even easier. Doing double axels with this kite is a cake walk. I also did a triple axel with it. I know several people will say "yeah sure" while rolling their eyes, & I would normally be first in line to say this. However their were witnesses to this trick. In fact I asked for verification if it was truly a triple or if I imagined it. I just adore this Masquerade design & each of my kites have either different frames, sail material or different bridles making each one unique & having slightly different flying characteristics. Then their were 4
