This is by far the best kite I have ever had. It is extremely well made, very light, durable and very easy to assemble, you only need to put two struts into place and away you go. The kite also comes with its own stuffsack. The kite almost launches itself as soon as you hold it up and is very stable in the air and truly beautiful to look at. Quite a few passers-by commented on it, and we never got tired of watching it in the sky. We flew the kite on a gusty day and managed to keep it in the air even when the wind died down. It provided an afternoon of entertainment for us and our young boys (aged 3 and 4), who managed to keep it in the air as well. If I could award this kite 10 stars instead of 5, I would.
