My schedule is so messed up now I have to take advantage of the free time I have. Sometimes the winds aren't so co-operating here in Houston. I want to find a budget ultralite kite so I can practice flying and have fun on the dead air days. Is there a kite group in Houston Texas that anyone knows about? If there is can you please send some info. I figure with JSC and Houston control right here, there's got to be a few who fly kites. Mayve a group in the Galveston or Houston/Clear Lake area??

I would seriously consider the Buena Vista X4i...costs under a hundred dollars, comes with two sets of lines and the i stands for indoor...this is a truely amazing kite that will fly in nothing. Check out Dan Whitney or BFK for availability.

Should be available for about $5 and need only the slightest breeze even for learning. It's a credible addition to your kite resume besides ;) Up here in the soggy damp I'm constrained to building and flying plastic skinned fighters for most of the year. Paper should be fine in Texas. -- "Jerold Ford is the Aunt Of My Infant", Confirms Ollie North Lucy Mohl Says She Was On A Cellphone -- Brian Johnsen johnsen@eskimo.com Seattle, Washington USA = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
