| Don't know why given all the Cosmo gear I have but I feel like trying these out for a change - anybody here used them? If so what are they like - especially as compared to Cosmo's? Cheers guys. |

| I used to use them all the time and really liked them until the prices went up, and then I found Cosmos, but would still happily use the L's if they were cheaper. |

| I've used L flights and love them. Too bad they're pricey for me. Shifted to Ruthless and Rhino flights when the L flights became unusable. |

| Tried L's after i got rid of cosmo. Much more durable IMO. Lasted me weeks instead of days. Price is still too high though |

| Yeah, best to take advantage of any offers. When I was buying them they started at about £2.95 I think, then went to £3.25 and then jumped to about £4.99 so I stopped buying them, but now they are nearly £6 I think. |

| Speaking of L flights, does anybody have any spare Champangne caps they want to shimmy my way? |

| Thanks for the replies guys - I just had a look on AAA in the US and they have a wider choice than DC and are cheaper ($7.50). I'm going to be putting in another order with them shortly so I may leave it for now and get them from there - it won't cost much in additional postage anyway. I know I'll have a couple of weeks to wait before they arrive, but not a big problem. |

| I give L-flights a 10 outta 10 except for price. Ya need to buy the little punch machine that way you can punch your own flights \ |

| Cheers for the clarification Larry - I was asking about L flights and assumed you meant these didn't come pre-punched. I know all about normal flights and punches - I used to use pigeon rings before I started using Cosmo's lol. |

| I was looking at some very early darts world mags and I dont think the Target L flights are that new an idea, I think it was Elkadart (will need to check) who had something very similar in the early 70's. |

First thing I noticed Grip with your avatar is she's not wearing a seat belt ! (I'm lying) |

| I used to use the L-Flight Champagne a lot with the Laro stems. Great concept, work really well, lots of different styles, shape, colour etc. I know people are bugged about the price but I've found they last a long time especially if you use either Trident 180 dart cones or Target Storm points. The reason i went to Cosmo is because i noticed that the L-Flights are fairly rigid and you can take some big deflections. The Cosmo tend to flex a bit more especially if you have the thinner stems. The flights tend to push around even on the non spinning stems (especially the new Fit Gear ones). L-Flight are coming out with a new thinner stem that might flex a bit more and therefore reduce the problem. Use your old flights for practice and new ones for comp. You can fix tears in your old L-Flights with plastic glue, a clamp, two pieces of wood and an old aluminum can cut up (Use the metal between the two pieces of wood and use as little glue as possible. |

A-Z Darts have a good range too. Never had any problems. Sometimes have give aways if you buy 50 bucks worth of stuff (set of flights, case and wristband) [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] |

| Can't see me buying any more cases now I have a double Bonzwa case, but I may give A-Z a try as well - they look like they have a better selection on the L flights, and they look cheaper as well. Cheers for the recommendation zappaluv.
