    • only you can answer that. I'm still making mine but haven't sold too many lately. That's partly my fault for not getting out, flying and marketing them. (moderation note. moved to kite making)
    • I am thinking P-100 is the equivalent to the old SkyShark 5P's. I have posted some pictures of my kites here, I can post more if there is interest. What I am wondering is how well high end stunt kites would sell these days? With costs of materials I could not compete with many of the cheap kites on the market. My kites are mostly 8ft full sized kites. I am thinking of offering them in only Wrapped Graphite, because the cost is about same as protruded.
    • I also bought a LOT of the Blue Polymax when it was on sale to play with for designs and such.
    • Everything I do is Icarex (PC31) and SkyShark, P2-x, P3-x, P200, p-300 or in a few case even P-400.. I don't use Fiberglass for Quads as it does not meet my need for stiffness/springiness. I buy all in bulk when available.. I have also used the P-200 and P-400 Camo rods when they were on closeout to decrease overall cost.  
    • I used to make my kites out of 1/2 oz Icarex (I guess PC31 now), and either 2300 protruded or SkyShark 2P/5P rods. But the high cost of these makes me wonder if maybe some made with 3/4 Nylon might be ok. You can email directly if you want to go into more details.
