Who here flies kites? Of any kind, stunt kites, powerkites?

I have flown a Flexifoil powerkite before down Watergate bay, but I have just taken the plunge of buying a stuntkite, it is a Bebop Prisma, that I bought from the Kiteshop, I love the ease of flying a kite and how quick you can fly em.

My car was very narrowly missed by one a couple of weeks ago whilst driving from long rock to Marazion in Cornwall. There was some knobhead on the beach flying it but rather than make sure it was over the beach he seemed to prefer to fly it at low level across the road. I was hoping a double decker came along and ran it down but sadly it didn't happen.
Nothing against kites, but flying them over roads is a bit naughty.

I have 3 x 10ft flexi's and a 6 ft flexi that I have had for years. They are great fun but not flown them for a while!

I have a small delta wing but not really flown that much as it's a bit dull compared to the flexi's!

I like flying!

I try to fly kites,
I own two stunt kites, one by the kite factory,, great if it goes up but a bugger to launch, breaks strings aswell,
The other one is a spirit of air sabre kite, goes up quick, tuns quick crashes like a twat,
this you can launch solo if your lucky but mine has a problem at the moment, it likes to go left, also likes tho break struts,
I have two diamond stunt kits for the kids from poundland, (currnetly untested) and a template to make a sled kite out of bin bags, known to fly in very light winds, just not had time to make it yet[/url]
