    Hi, why not get the Gemini Ultra light, will fly up to 12 mph and is a genuine trick kite, pricy but worth it, I am getting an airbow but it is soon christmas and the Gem UL is next!!!, good thing my wife doesn't read this! Check out the Gem on tradewind kites, I do not have the adress here but type in tradewind kite shop on GOOGLE and you will find it.
    Sky,

    The more bans, restrictions & rules that are imposed.
    The greater number of people will break them
    Creating even more bans, restrictions & rules.
    So fly responsibly and keep access open

    If you want to be flying in sub-five knots I would say you are looking for something a little 'larger' like a Super 6/8, maybe even a 10. (All dual line and miracles can be performed!)

    That said, using a lighter line with your stunter is said (by some) to do the trick! What I used to find though is when the wind completely goes, the lines go slacker than with a heavy line and bang you're on the ground. I use a 200lb line with my Sholtz signature in all weathers.

    You could of course be flying in the wrong place. It's amazing how wind can change, even on the same flying field. Try moving around out of the way of any obstacles (trees, buildings etc) and you will find something better.

    happy hunting,


    Mr. Chaser

    The standard gem will do 3mph upwards. love mine. The UL could be cool too.

    He wants a trick kite so i dont think a Super 10 will do the trick, maybe a loop and another one, and another one
