[...5m Red Chevron...]

I flew this at Basingstoke and while I'm no expert foil flier, it was
obvious to the untrained eye that this kite is really something.  The
most impressive thing was the ridiculously small turning circle (the kite
almost snakes around itself) and the inability to fold the kite up, even
for a lutz like me.

If I hadn't spent all the money I have (and a lot of money I don't
have) on the impending nuptials (78 hours and counting), I would have 
snapped this bargain up.  If you're looking for a foil and want 
something that delivers everything that a commercial foil does (and more),
then I would think seriously about making Andrew an offer.

I have no commercial interest, blah, blah, disclaimer, blah, blah with 
Andrew other than an interest in seeing what he comes up with next. 


Cheers
Andy
