I saw a 4m hornet go up (I think it was on NE kite forum) for like 100.
I'll look around and see if I can find the link.

I think the 2 are going to go with 2m hornets guys. The 4ms are a bit big. One buy is 16 and weighs like 120ish maybe less. The other guy is my height and about 140ish. The 2nd guy is a bicycles so he is lean very lean. THanks again for all the help. Good catch on indigos part. Must say having his phone number would save me about 30 minutes of typing and then waiting for him to respond. :smilegrin::smilegrin::smilegrin:

For a nominal one-time fee of $20..... :rolleyes:

Too hard to resist....:lol:

One thing to keep in mind.... especially with Summer just around the corner. The 2Ms will require more wind to get and stay airborne. Go smaller and somedays you will get skunked with no out.

It still surprises me how low the wind can be and still fly a Flow 3M because of some of the cells are closed, the unsheathed bridles, and the reduced weight from the diagonal crossbracing.

If the wind is up, and you can't fall back to a smaller kite, you can still fly the 3M by dancing around the edges of the wind window. The opposite isn't true for the 2Ms. If the wind is too low for them and you don't have a larger kite, you are done. You can try some of the techniques outlined in Scudley's thread, but even that's not a silver bullet past a certain point.
