The Spookie, as featured in the _Into The Wind_ catalog is built by R Kites, ie, Reed Richards, Jr. The same person who brings you the ZDX line. It is a 3/4 version of the Spook, whick was developed for light wind high altitude (1000'+) conditions in Atlanta. Both are *very* radical and fast. Quiet too for that mater. What's a really neat combination to fly is a stack with a Spookie in front of a Spook. Sort of like flying a biplane! Steve PS: I own 3 Spooks & 1 Spookie, btw. But don't compete with them.

Both are *very* radical : and fast. Quiet too for that mater. I don't mean to get off the subject here, but... Do you mean that the Spook was designed to fly on 1000 + foot lines? OR The altitude of Atlanta is over 1000 feet above sea level. OK, I guess I'm being a little stupid here. Hmmm... I wonder if its possible to build a kite that could fly in light winds 6000 feet above sea level, in 95 deg. F. heat, with 10umidity? Why would any kiteflyer want to live in a place like that?

Sort of like flying a biplane! LP>Hey thanks for the info on the Spookie, the need is frugal! I'm caught between a budget thing! The Spookie Looks Like it is light, also the ION (I have Macro ,Micron , Total Eclipse) they fly as advertised! Extremly pleased with the low wind performance Macro-Ion. Micron is wild! Total Eclipse is as advertised,smooth and does track like it is on rails-some think it is not a decent kite-some also don't know how to make a set of line strait!!!! I can put that baby trough a "Starburst" better than Whale defecation going through a Ice Flow! Kicks Ass! As as "beavus" would say. (MTV Cartoon) yeh!yeah! K...A..!

So I'm collecting early social -which ain't a lot -so when i have interest in something- the fixed budget has to equall the value of the merch! Specially with the Kites! Ok thanks for the info. !!!
