The Mamba 3.0 is a major update and rethinking of the classic Mamba!

While working on its stable-mate, the Tsuru, it occurred to me that some of the things I was trying might have a positive impact on the Mamba. Did they ever! The resulting kite retained its precision and pleasant manner, but the changes kicked the edginess and tricks capability up a level,  as well as making them more accessible. They also worked to extend the upper end of the wind range and dramatically improved speed control. It became an even more fun kite to fly and brought back the 'organic' feel I'd been missing in recent iterations.

The sail comes forward with the panel layout and basic shape intact, but all of the cut-outs and points of contact have either moved or been redesigned. The frame specifications and geometry are new for the Mamba 3.0 I think the only carry-over is the upper spreader, but even that's in a slightly different location!
