You would be better off spending another 50-60 to get the Rev II.

The Backtracker is a BEGINNER kite and I am personally dissapointed with

its perfomance.  It is tough to fly and for the difference in price.. go

for the Rev II.  It comes with good handles and a good set of lines

instead of the plastic handles and Dacron line.

        Good luck either way,
                Sandy

Here's another 2 cents worth:

I bought a backtracker because I thought I wanted to try 4 lines.
I glad I did.  I learned on this indestructible kite **then** I bought
a RevII.  I sold my backtracker to a friend that wanted to learn.  He
is testing it's indestructiblity now.

It takes a licken' and comes up flying!

If you want to learn to fly 4 line, this kite will keep you in the air.

***One tough kite***

I nearly bought the Backtracker as well, but was persuded by the 
store guy to go for the REV II mainly cos of the improved   
performance and better wind range 
 
I would definitely go for the REV II its a bitch to learn at   
first, but the end results are worth the effort 8-)

I just bought a backtracker.  I love it.  Does anyone have any special tips or hints to accomplish new tricks.  

Thanks.
