Anyone flown one?
Anyone know where I can get one in the uk?
Or alternative sub £100 verylight/no wind kite recommendations? (actually I'll search for those, someone's bound to have something posted here in the past

)

it gets rave reviews over at GWTW, do a search. Should be about your budget and has the "right" name.

You can buy it here:
http://www.cerfvolantservice.fr.fm/

free postage over 50 euros, or direct from the first link and have a custom one made.

Hope that helps ...

Welcome to the forum by the way. Be great to see you in person (as per your other post)... we might have quite a few people returning home around Xmas time.

thanks. Hm not sure about Christmas, have to visit the in-laws and the grandparents, but I have a feeling I might be around 15/16 Nov.

I'll enter it as a possible fly-in on the club forum.

Yup. I've got a blue and orange one. It's a nice, slightly downsized indoor or outdoor-in-an-indoor-style kite. Good value. Some clever ideas in the construction. Needs time to get the bridle to your tastes. Doesn't want to rotate on its back too much.

If you want an indoor or truly no wind kite, it's a good choice. If you want a more conventional UL, perhaps you might look elsewhere.

I don't know about anyone bothering to bring it to the UK.

Mike.
