yes, indeed, one needs to get used to the Utopia. Best is to solely fly it for a long period of time. ;-)


And this, right there, is why I cannot think of the Utopia as A Good Kite.

I received another kite from the postman today. I'd not flown it before but I took it outside and within less than one hour I'd successfully pulled off a large percentage of my repertoire with it. Now... this clearly says a lot about the limited range of my repertoire :wink: but the fact that I could just pick it up and get into it, that's important to me.

I spent a lot of time grimacing :evil:, gurning :crazy: and gnashing :snap: while flying the Utopia at the sheer effort of trying to understand it when I just don't need to do that with more conventional kites. I simply don't have the time or will to dedicate myself to any one kite for that.

Still looks great, though.

Mike.
