a 2 line trainer is good for an hour or two to learn about the wind window and how a kite flies. Beyond that, doesn't offer much learning.
a 4 line trainer is a scaled down version of a real kite. The key is that the front lines are attached to harness, and back lines to the bar, which gives the depower of regular kites. This allows you to learn about the behaviour of kites in a safe way, prior to your lessons. You can do a lot of training exercises including learning all the safety procedures, like self rescuing. I flew a trainer for 20-30 hours over the winter before doing my lessons....made the first day of lessons easy, probably saved a half day, and also felt safe and confident in understanding what to expect with the big kite.
Buy that OR React from lucas. Sell it for what you paid once you're done.
