Subject: Anyone flying a Crystal??

Just like the subject says, is anyone flying a Crystal these days?
I've just gotten into it (the kite store in Orlando at the Mercado is
where I got hooked), and those guys down there just love the
Crystals.

I think that what you are seeing is regional preference for certain
kites. As an example, I just returned from California and saw no
Skyward Kites, and no Jordan Air kites. In New England there are
usually a few Tracers in the air or on the field all of the time.

I've talked to people who really like Crystal kites, they certainly
make good looking kites. I've never flown one, but I've seen them
flown by others.

There are lots of stunt kites on the market these days with new kites
being introduced all of the time. Sooner or later the market will
reach saturation, but it apparently hasn't gotten there yet...
