https://store.kittyhawk.com/products/skyscraper-stunt-kite-176336 https://intothewind.com/itw-hydra-blue.html I bought these 2 to learn tricks on first. I really wanted a Kymera but couldn't find one anywhere online. The Skyscraper is basically a Widow ng with a simplified sail design so its cheaper. The Skyscraper is very smooth, axles extremely easy, and loves being on its back in fades and turtles. The hydra took me longer to click with but now I do enjoy it more than the Skyscraper. But the Hydra does yoyo based tricks significantly better than the Skyscraper which for me makes it a much more enjoyable kite. I'd pick up a hydra and learn some axles, lazy susans, and ground recoveries. 👍 Its only $112 right now.

If you spend the same amount of time flying that you would have spent making the simulator you will not need the simulator in less than half the time it took to make it. It's great if you want to demo a Rev to someone who has never flown one before so they believe it is easier to control the kite than it really is in order to make a sale or to introduce absolute beginners to quad line kites, but other than that there's no reason to have one. As an instructional device it is not productive since it creates muscle memory that one must "unlearn" later. It's better not to acquire bad habits in the first place than to undo the damage later.

I've flown the Smithi.. I still prefer my Symphony 2.2.4
