Subject: Happy Spring! I'll swap a story of a recommendation


Wow.  Life is too good!  Hope y'all all had a great winter.  Uncle Sam 
treated me to a Double French Military.  What a glorious kite.  Sunday I 
took it out to the Lake Front in 15-25mph with gusts up to 30mph.  My 
King of the Wind Delta sat in the sky like a trained dog.

My record is now 3-0.  The Delta took out two smaller $5.95 dragon 
kites.  When the wind would gust the smaller kites would whip around and 
when they crossed my 50# line they got sliced.  One woman had a 
Flexifoil.  She clearly was a novice.  She was getting dragged around the 
field and came to close to my monster French.  Sliiiice!  The 110# line 
on the French cut through two of her lines like a knife through butter.  

Hmmmmm.  I'm beginning to understand the thrill of fighter kites.  

Anyway.  When the spar on the French finally broke I started playing with 
the four lines of the bridle and holding it up in the breeze.  It was a 
lot of fun and I've decided to invest in a quadline kite.  I'm lookin at 
a Guildworks Deca 1 or a Rev II.  Has anyone out there used _both_ of 
them and have a comparative review they'd like to share with me?
