Manta kite flies in almost no wind

My 385th kite video. I am very happy to have this kite at this time of the year, when we have a lot of near-windless days. It comes from Into the Wind kites, and is very well made. It's fairly expensive, but well worth having.

Well done Jim, despite the wind you used your knowledge of your kites, kit and flying skills to get a result.

It's a different style of flying to my usual, when I try to stick several kites up and tie them down. With this, you have to be flying it all the time. If the wind starts to pick up, it has to come down - 6mph is the recommended top end.

Not a cheap kite dollar wise, but an excellent value for covering the bottom end of the wind range. Happiness means always getting something to fly.

Beautiful kite. But it’s listed over 300$ on Amazon. It must be a mistake.

[@JimNicholls]

Not a mistake, unfortunately. It's a good kite, but I think very over-priced.

Very beautiful Jim ......... (ツ)

It's a pity it's so expensive, Nara, or I would advise everyone to get one.

Hmmmm . I can't afford anything expensive right now. LOL. I will watch your kites for now :-)
