Kite input length?

[Dean750]

I'd like to know what kites out there are totally trickable, that have 6" or less for pushing or pulling or both at the same time to say axle. Also, 7' or bigger is the size I'm looking for.

I'm not kidding about the amount of inputed effort needed to make the kite do an axle say from a snap stall. Nose strait up. Just curious. Also, what wind speeds about are you able to make the small inputs to get the effect from. About anyway.

Full 8' wings are a bit too much for my personal strength at the moment. Need to go smaller, but not smaller than 7'. Guess I'm looking for a precise kite under the same requirments too. 90 degree angles in less than 6" of input.

Reason I ask is that I fly my fathers and my MEFM (which are 8' 4") and I used to be able to axle, cascade, flic flak, flat spin, tip stab, lazy susan, and ground work plus other tricks and flying dual kites takes strength. Something I need to build up again. I can still fly dual kites. It's just the trickin side of it takes more of a quick pop while stepping forward than I can physically perform at the moment.

With longer handles my Box of Tricks (Benson Kites) would do it. It's just not precise enough. Takes a big and quick input to turn a 90.

Thanks for the thought and input,

Level One "My One"

[Dean750]

I've been to both Level One and the Skyburner site and Level One doesn't list the My One. Is this a kite they have discontinued? Can't find it anywhere, not even a picture of it.

CDC Shiva STD and SUL respond very well, great precision with the right tuning.

Guess I'll have to watch the video of the Shiva in I think it was Brookings. Thanks for the input. Much appriciated.
