Though I got “a couple of kites” I can’t stop myself when I see a Thor’s Hammer (image) – I get a desire to acquire – but no, my kiting goals are currently going in another direction (and I’m now on a kite buying diet b.t.w. 🙂 ). However I’m much curious on how it is to fly, the feeling and if you manage to get any tricks out of a kite this size. A minor detail, this kite “requires” some known size structure to compare to to immediately see its size.

It flies slow, has a pull and will slide you across the ground. It can be tricked, but I don't know how to trick (I don't care to either). When I fly this kite, I grin from ear to ear and the feeling is fantastic! For size, I hope to fly more soon. I haven't flown much lately but when I do get to fly, this will come out and I'll get a size comparison.

I know what you are talking about when I pilot my happy mad calf oversteering Fazer XL in high enough wind, suddenly making one to end up three large steps downwind. It is the only kite that has made me laugh out ever.
