I just bought my first sport/stunt kite. I recently saw a performance of the Chicago Fire kite team and some others, and was inspired to take up this new hobby.
I have no experience whatsoever, so I jumped right in with an Acrobatx. The wind was pretty poor, but I was anxious to just get the thing off the ground. So I guess I can mostly blame my failure on lack of wind.
A couple times I'd get it launched, and it would just fall right back down with no breeze. When I did get a little sustained wind, I was all over the place. The conditions just weren't that good. It says on the packaging that it can fly in as little as 4 mph, but I'm not sure that's true.
Oh well, maybe tomorrow...
