I recently saw the Zephyr in the air, and when talking to the flier,
was surprised to find that it was graphite sparred, and also quite
inexpensive. (~$80) This was the only kite he ever owned, so he could not
offer much in the way of comparisons. Are there any r.k readers who have
flown this kite care to offer an opinion and/or comparisons to other kites?
What is the low end of the wind range? How precise is it? How fast does it
turn? etc... 


Thanks,

Jeff Treptau
