"I took delivery yesterday of one of Dan's high wind kites-- I think he calls it a "Trooper." It is built like a tank, yet really light weight. Carbon and fiberglass spars and spine. It's pretty impressive, and I flew it today in 25 mph, with a tail that Dan sent me (because it was very gusty and I personally experienced that deltas don't tolerate gusty, variable, and high wind combinations), and it worked great! It flew at a significantly higher angle than my previous high wind kite that Dan made for me about 3-4 years ago, even with a tail. I'm pretty impressed. Thanks Dan! " - R.R.
