I think it is made in France; a very nice Carrington / graphite 'radical' type stunt kite. A companion kite from the same line is called the "little brother", I think. If anyone could help with the name of a distributer/wholesaler, it would be greatly appreciated.

The "Little Sister" was designed and marketed by Julian Wolfe Patrick from France. One of the companion models is the "Big Brother" (the first J.W.P kite to be imported into the U.S.), and there are a couple of other designs to boot, including the "Big Brother II" and the "Fast Freddie." While the Sister is offered through some shops and Into the Wind, they can also be "custom" ordered through any local kite shop. All you have to do is to contact your local, established kite store, tell them that you'd like to order one, and have the dealer contact Susan Batdorff. Most dealers will have her telephone number in New Jersey. Please be aware, though, that for now Into The Wind is probably your best bet if your local shop doesn't have any Little Sisters in stock. Julian - to our knowledge - has become generally unavailable, and we're not entirely sure about the status of this U.S. distributorship. Hope this helps, Bob PS: If anyone sees Julian, have him call ! = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Date: Wed, 16 Nov 1994 21:38:20 -1000 From: johnsen@eskimo.com (Brian Johnsen) Message-Id: Organization: Cap'n Puget's Roadside Tako Stand Subject: Re: Little Sister Source In article , Mike Eason wrote: >Does anyone know the maker/manufacturer of the "Little Sister"? >I think it is made in France; a very nice Carrington / graphite >'radical' type stunt kite.

It's offered in the 1994 Into the Wind catalog on page 25 for $360us.

I had requested info on a source for a friend, Gail and Erv Crosby, who own Four Winds Kite Shops here in Everett, WA. They were interrested in adding it to the lines the shop carries. They were amazed at how quickly the rec.kites people could get answers!! Thanks! This has been a good demonstration of the efficiency of the net! No doubt I will now probably be getting more strange questions from fellow flyers, in this area, who don't have internet access!
