I like it. Looks like a good activity during windy days here in Eastern New Mexico.  ~>

I bought one a couple of years back on the advice of Dan Rutherford (Dirty Dan).  It is a blast to fly, doesn't use any fuel so the initial investment is your total cost if you don't get hooked and go wild.  The only problems I have had is that it will run me ragged - the flight on mine is like a medium fast Flite Streak and it never runs out of fuel.  Problem two is that the case is similar to what a nut might carry a gun in and I walked past a school on my way to the park.  I had spectators in fairly short order but no problems resulted.  Next time I will call the school and give them a heads up.

Hi Peter, thanks for posting the video link. If you still have the kite, could you please post a photo of the bridle/harness rigging if you don't mind? I would like to see how it's strung together to work on such a small handle spacing. Thanks very much.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for that. I'll see if I can contact the owner of the kite. Looks like fun!
