What one of the 3 would let me grow the most before needing to buy a new kite? And also after watching a ton of videos on you tube of many different kites I really like the smooth look of a kite doing tricks. Is this just the pilot or do some kites pull of tricks more smooth looking? If the kites effect this a lot what kite would be the most "smooth"?

Wow this is amazing, I wanted to get into Aerial photography with RC helicopters. I never thought about doing it with a kite. Very cool thanks for sharing!

Yeah I found it on the web but apparently "Air Apparent" closed down Ok everyone please give me sugestions, what would the best stunt kite under 200$ be? I am considering these so far. Prism Hypnotist Premier Widow Level 1 Jump

from everything that I have read the hypnotist is just a more trickable quantum. I think if I get a prism it will be the hypnotist... I don't know it is a hard decision!

So I have been reading up on the Widow.... if everyone thinks this kite can handle some noob abuse I think this might be the leading kite on my want list. Not to mention the green widow is about the best looking kite I have seen yet.

Ok I have been reading a lot about the Widow... has anyone out there flown the Prism Hypnotist and the Widow? One of the reasons I was interested in the Hypnotist is it sound like it can take a lot of abuse but still pull off a lot of tricks. But the Widow isn't that much more and sounds amazing. I love the lime green one. Also if I can get the basics of flying a power kite I should be able to control a stunt kite with little problem correct? I am sure there is a little difference.... anyway. Sorry I hope I am not derailing your thread here. I thought it might be fitting seeing how I started out with a power kite (I got it for really cheap) but I am looking into my first stunt kite in the next month. I have seen the hypnotist listed at online kite shops as intermediate and competitive. I would like to stay right around 150$ I say the widow for 159$ somewhere recently. Anyway any advice would be great.

I swear I am the only kite flier in Utah, there isn't any kite stores in utah. We have a lot of people into kite sports, paragliding stuff like that. I have never seen a stunt kite in 27 years here. I will keep my eye open though.

I tried running it on Windows 7 RC and it didn't work. Just in case anyone else is running windows 7

How much? I want a pair of the lime and black ones!....... and orange and blue.... those are a amazing!

Welcome! I am new also, I am excited to hear about what you think of the E2, I am a total noob and I am stuck on the Prism Hypnotist, but the E2 is selling for about the same right now.... choices choices! I just got my first kite a few days ago (prism snapshot 1.4) This hobby is addicting, I want to get my first stunt kite so bad.... the power kite is fun so far but I want my hypnotist.....

Hey thanks for the advice! I have not found anyone else yet that flies kites. I think everyone has answered all my questions so far. Thanks everyone, I am sure I will have more with time. When I get my stunt kite I am sure I will have lots more. So right now I am pretty firm on the Prism Hypnotist, anyone any input on this kite? Oh! and the girlfriend is happy I got her a pretty one string kite. I offered to let her fly but she prefers the "simple kite" ha-ha.

Yeah prism includes the DVD with the hypnotist I can't wait to fly again! To bad I work 12 hours today

Thanks Tom! I will be around, I tend to be really active in forums pertaining to my hobbies. So hopefully I will make some new friends, anyone in Utah out there? Hey great idea! I am in Utah so no sand around haha, but I will find small rocks or something. I don't think my girlfriend will be willing to help all the time lol. Thanks so much for the advice. I am REALLY excited to get the hypnotist, anyone have any input on this kite as a second kite after the powerfoil? It looks like a great ready to fly kite, sounds very durable and is about 120$

So today began my first day as a kite pilot. I picked up a Prism Snapshot 1.4 powerfoil (lime green) . I plan on picking up the hypnotist in a week or 2. We have a state park in here Utah that is for RC airplanes, hang gliding, and stuff like that. It is at the top on a small mountain and has steady wind 24/7 365. It was an interesting first try, I slammed it into the ground first few times. Lucky me my girl friend helped me get it back up over and over. Towards the end I had it flying for decent amounts of time and could move it back and forth above me head. I haven't figured out a few things yet though. I don't get how I would get a powerfoil up in the air by myself. Also one time the strings got crossed and I couldn't figure out how to uncross them while flying. Any advice would be great. Also anything a noob should know would help. What kind of maintenance would be wise for these kites? What is the best online kite shop? Believe it or not the only place I could find a kite in Utah was at the huge Cabela's store we have. Also I think I got the kite bug.... this is fun... I have spent to much time already surfing this site and watching you tube videos .
