The Mentor 2.5 and 3.5 deliver high performance power that’s easy to control and incredibly versatile.

They’re a great intro to traction kiting without the complexity and expense of four line control. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith three-line control you can instantly stop the kite mid-flight, put it into reverse and fly it backwards. That makes for easy landings without a helper and a whole new range of maneuvers to explore. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike traditional soft parafoils the Mentor wings maintain internal pressure for optimal 3D shape. At the leading edge of each rib, monofilament profile supports act like springs to maintain the shape of the leading edge for a clean, low-drag airfoil. And after launch the one-way valves at the air inlets allow ram air in but not out, keeping the sail from collapsing for smooth, forgiving control.
