Kites I Wish to Own December 9, 2002 My bag is almost complete. The Masquerade has been an excellent addition. Great for tricks & just pleasurable flying. Now I want to add the next design by Wayne, the Ronin.
Old Wish list comments, (I didn't want to delete it) Hmmm. Well I just received the Psycho. So now I have covered the kite spectrum & almost have my 'Ultimate Kite Collection'. My Feather is used on those very low wind days & indoors (haven't flown inside yet, but trying to locate a facility). The Psycho will be used in winds above 15 mph. The Gemini is the 'Ultimate Trick Machine'. My Stiletto is a custom very high quality kite & also very capable of the latest tricks. I also have a quad line (Revolution) for something different. And lastly I have a Jazz Pro (beginner kite) to lend out to newbies. In my collection, I also have a kite from each of the major manufacturers (HQ, Benson, Revolution, Flexifoil & PBSK). I used to own a Prism Fanatic but was not impressed at all with it's flight, so I sold it. So what's on my 'Wish List' now? Hmmm. The PBSK Warrior comes to mind & the Skyburner 'Heat'. Also I am seriously considering a SL7, if I can get one used or inexpensive. Why? Well I tried one & it is a different flying kite than any other dual line kite. Also it is definitely an oddity, so on that premise alone I want one in my kite collection. Another unique kite I am considering is the Utopia. The Utopia has a unique sail shape & requires a different method to fly then most conventional kites (light touch). I think I will add one of these kites to my collection in the near future. So many kites, so little time to fly. But for now I have made my 'Ultimate Kite Collection', & have enough kites in my bag to master before purchasing the next great kite that comes out. Then again :-) maybe I should start collecting sport kite oddities like the SL7 or Utopia. David G. (Kitefan)
