I saw that too. Ollie do you know anything??? Should I buy a 05 rap now or wait for the 06?

Dewey,
If you're not saving all your $ for the baby, there's a few small WW on Ikite right now for low $; don't remember if they're Rages or Outrages.

I just picked up a 17 Outrage (04) for $400, but maybe I won't have to use it for a while...

that's odd, i could've sworn the logo on the side of that flat kite says "rapture". in any case, if it's the '06 rage, i hope they lighten up the bar pressure considerably, my current rage II has way more back line tension than any other kite i've flown.

I suppose you've already tried tweaking the steering line knots at the bar, as Ollie has suggested elsewhere on this forum?

I have noticed that my Rage 14 takes alot more cranking to steer than my 10M (Liquid Force), but I wasn't sure if that was just because it's so much bigger.

Yep, I use the outermost knot on the shoulder static bridles, middle knot on the LE pigtails and the closest knot to the bar on the steering leader lines. I'm also using low friction mode on the CC bar. The bar pressure on my Rage II is substantially higher than on my Rapture and Yarga, as well as Nemesis, Gaastra Force, and GlobeRider Lift kites I've ridden in the past. I can deal with the bar pressure, I guess, but it does cause more arm fatigue in extended sessions than I would ideally like. (I'm not referring to the cranking to turn the kite, but rather, the pulling force that needs to be exerted to keep the kite sheeted in.)

Bill said it will be a Rap., but it may not look like that photo. The one in the ad is pretty extream.
