Those two kites are the best NTK sportkites made so far, IMO! _________________ Randy My Sportkite Blog Back to top Kitelife Joined: 17 May 2005 Posts: 1 Location: Portland, OR USA Posted: Tue May 17, 2005 5:46 pm    Post subject: I can't wait to try these out... I'm particularly fond of the blue-heavy themes. Maybe we can get a review in the August 1st issue of Kitelife? _________________ John Barresi Editor/Publisher Kitelife Magazine Back to top Chris High Flier Joined: 12 May 2005 Posts: 159 Location: Austin, TX Posted: Tue May 17, 2005 6:05 pm    Post subject: Hi John, Dodd will be bringing some to Wildwood.

I may get a Techno as well to do some learning on, but the FC looks to be the kite of choice for me. Good work NTK!

That might hold me over for a month or so, but I think the kite should come out in late June. It would make a cool Fathers day gift... If you let some of the signed ones go in June some of us Fathers and a few FAKERS will be very happy.

Would like to see one too, but the yellow and the red one seems to be a good option anyway.

Its still not too late to replace one of the multi panel 7' FC with an orange one since none of these are in production, however we are ordering the material now for the FC 8' size. I still have not come up with a size indicator as of yet for the two kites. So for now we are just calling them Grande and petite. But that will not be their names! Last night I spent more time on the Petite, I am still working out the bridle. At first it had a multi leg bridle the same as the Grande, and it performed everything well except for fades which were terrible! So I just changed to a 3 point bridle, I lost a little over all performance, but got my fades back and rotating fades back! Flic Flacs are very fast on the Petite, slower and more controlled on the Grande. More on a comparison later. Thanks for you comments and again, welcome to the NTK forum, please bring your friends, we will try to keep it interesting over here to keep you here. One of the features is that the participants of this forum, will actually be participating in some of the designs and outcomes of designs as you have done with the FC. I loved the fact that the graphics came from a forum member via a contest. All contests will be here on our own forum so again, thanks for comming!
