Review:

The kite is developed from the 'Fire Dart', but with pockets at the 
tips of the trailing(!) edge; that makes it slow and silent.  This 
kite IS my favorite one. While slowly going backwards, you can turn it 
360 deg. (without any wind) great!   It's very precise, spins over the 
end of the wing, is slow, even in more wind (caused by the pockets) 
and easy to handle. By adjusting the bridles, it is  possible that you 
can fly it whenever you want. To prevent the sky (in Hamburg) getting 
overcrowded of Spin Darts, we [Peter's  Team] never give the name 
away. Instead we say `just a kind of dart.'  - Peter Lenzen, March 
1993.
