so i checked out the Thruster today and I give it thumbs up... its def. a C kite .. flies really well and is very stable.. I still could never convert to something like this as I love the depowerability of my waroo.
I rode it back to back w/ my 16 waroo and def enjoy my waroo more. Might be that I've been flying waroos exclusively for a while now and I'm just used to how they handle.
Jumps on the Thruster were average for me. I was plenty powered up but was not able to really boost with it. I'd have to take another spin w/ a bit more power to really give a final thought on this.
I do like the bar. simple and effective.
the stopper cleat DID NOT release when I smacked it with my hand. Tried this three or more times and it did not release.. to release it it requires a little forward pressure.. not just a smack. a very light brush forward and it releases... really cool release IMO.
I liked the kite.. just not for me.
