Thank you for your valued advice as to which kite to buy . . . . am ordering the Quantum but, oh dear, another problem . . . . which colour is the most satisfying way up there against white puffy clouds . . . . (very difficult to tell from a small picture on a web page).

Will be flying on the beach . . . . blue sky, blue sea (will Ice be lost ?) against a green background (poor old Citrus) but will Fire attract unwelcome attention like . . . . "There's that crazy old fool who whacked grandma, ;) let's cut his lines !!!!"

So . . . . which one do you all prefer ?

Of course this is a very personal choice.

Pick the colors you like the best. IMHO the Citrus only looks good on the Zephyr sail design.

Here is a picture of my color choice.

I've got a citrus Quantum. Love it. ;) Looks great against the blue sky (kinda like a green tree against the blue sky).

A word of advice for when you get your Q:: On the bridle, there are adjustments for 'strong' and 'light' wind. Do your self a favor and cut the "light wind" tag from the bridle - making sure you don't cut the bridle itself - reason being, when the winds are at about 3Mph, the kite won't lift at that factory 'light wind' setting very well. Takes a whole lot of pumping, and even then, after every pump, the kite wants to turtle. In uber light winds, setting the bridle adjustment on or a little past that light wind tag will do wonders for your frustration levels. lol

enjoy your Q. I'm sure you'll dig it, whatever color you get. :blink:
