We (BFK) are handling Air Master kites and have plans for including them with photos and specs in our future mailings. My personal favorite is the "Bad Boy"; they also have another model called AMI or AM 1 (one) depends on who you talk to. I rate the the Bad Boy as one of my top 5 kites. The Bad Boy is the latest model and consist of a hybrid Skyshark and Response (tapered) frame. It has a very light pull, wide wind range (my initial estimate is about 3-20 mph), smooth quiet flight characteristics, excellent handling, and competition proven performance. We suggest that you try the kites before you buy and whenever possible patronize your local kite shop. If they are not available locally, then you should try a reputable mail order company or the manufacture directly.

I met a fellow AKA'er (whose name I can't quite remember - Don Coleman perhaps?) and he let me fly one. I loved it and would like to get one. In To The Winds and BFK don't show them in their catalogs (at least the catalogs I have). Any suggestions? Actually, while I'm at it, does anybody know the history of these kites? Is there just one model? What other kites have similar characteristics? Thanks a bunch! greg p.s. My news feed just came back to life and I'm not sure it will continue to stay alive, so could you email me a response or cc: me if you post a reponse? Thanks... -- ------ Gregory F.

I believe you can find his name, address and phone number in the current AKA directory. Peter's workmanship and craftsmanship are super...one of his kites was awarded top honnors in the dual line kite building competition at the AKA convention this year...and Peter is just plain a nice person. If you can't find an address, drop me an E-mail and I'll try to get it for you. Disclaimer...I make nothing recommending this line of kites...I merely believe they are super.
