What would be a good first power kite. It matters not if it is a two or quad line. $200 is about the most I can afford. Thanks for any suggestions. -- Neil N.

It has a wind range of 6 - 40+ mph. In winds above 20 it really pulls.

Dave Culp is selling 10' Flexi's for $125. Maybe if you grovel a bit, he'll make you a deal, and you'll end up with a 2 x 10 Flexi stack, which I guarantee would make you happy. -- Bruce Forest... bforest@interramp.com bforest@futuris.net bforest@bliss.demon.co.uk 104165.2044@compuserve.com droopus@aol.com...
