Zimmerman) Message-Id: Organization: University of Michigan Subject: Bansgee Kites We are building ice sleds to be powered by two line kites. A friend of mine had a sled last year and tried different kites. He didn't care for the air foil kites because they were to sluggish for the speed of the sled. Using his Skyburner and othe delta style kites he was able to control them better. The deltas had less power so some one sugested getting a kite called the "Banshee", hope I spelled that correctly. Thanks for any info anybody can give. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Date: Tue, 13 Dec 1994 11:15:22 -1000 From: coreykite@aol.com (Coreykite) Message-Id: <3cl2ta$1hs@newsbf01.news.aol.com> Organization: America Online, Inc.

Ground speed and kite speed have little to do with the ability to provide traction. My quads get me up over 40 mph. PS... Are you the REAL Robert Zimmerman?
