This was my first big girl kite-I saw the flotails on Youtube and knew I had to have one. Hypnotic--graceful and dynamic when its up in the air. Compact and easy to stow in its great draw string bag. On days when nothing else would fly--this one alwaysread more did !! I have had mine for 4 years..and it has taken a beating...but still looks great! Great construction and fabrics. Should be a must have for any serious collector ..or kite enthusiast.
