Prototype underway... :)

That is full size, for an indoor. lol

Seriously, this is the size, nearly final design. ;)

You ever try and swing a 7-8 foot kite around indoors? Especially on the short lines, larger wingspan greatly limits both maneuverability and flight detail.

iNak is smaller, Wren is a hair bigger (I believe), for comparison. Echo might be around the same size.

Another hand goes up for scaling that up...

My hands are too heavy for little kites. The 4d had great capabilities, but I never fly it just because of its size.

A kite that is totally missing from the market would be a ProDancer that has more than a couple of tricks in it...

I agree -- an outdoor EUL (extremely ultra light). And I like "Whisper" as a name for it!

@RobB - while I agree in principle, the smaller kite is more accessible for a variety of folks in indoor and urban conditions, just not a whole lot of buyers for the large class kites, at this point anyway. Valid point though. :)

FYI, the Whisper already exists:

Would you like to have suggestions for a name? If so, would a separate topic for name suggestions be something?

It was an open ended statement, all suggestions are welcome in this topic. :)

Have you ever heard the word Eidolon?

Just looked it up... Doesn't ring my bells.
