  1. What is a UFO? i've never heard of it before. My backyard is lined by trees and a fence on one side. I've actually flew my parastunter on short lines once for a minute when the wind was blowing the right direction. I've been thinking of getting a prism 3D but it'll be a while before I can get any new kite. Maybe by Christmas? My first kite was a go fly a kite boomer which is HARD to get up unless it's really windy and once I found a bandit on sale and finally got experience with it in an open field, i was hooked ever since. The parastunter is my newest kite but my lines broke recently and i had to switch to the cheap ones that came with the bandit AND i've a broken taped up spar on my bandit now. I rarely get to go out to the field lately cause i'm fostering 3 kids on top of my own two so i'm looking to get a backyard friendly kite by Christmas! Any suggestions on a next level kite up from a bandit for the flying field would be helpful too!
  2. There's a great kite flying area out at Shelby Farms in Memphis with a big windmill across a road to let ya know how fast and what direction the wind is blowing. I currently fly at a park in Spring Hill where there's a large field encircled by a walking track. The grass is usually deep though. There's some well mowed fields at a park in Franklin that I fly at often on the corner of boyd mills and 96. There's a playground and these huge rocks there that my kids love playing on. Does anyone in this forum know of any other good places to fly in TN? I have never met any other fliers but it would be great to do so.
  3. What's THE BEST sport kite to fly in a backyard? I'm talking about sport kite fun in a small, small area. I assume a lightwind kite would be best but has anyone had experience with a regular wind kite in a backyard when the wind is up? Tell me your thoughts.. wind or nowind, small area, short lines, backyard!?
