Date: Sun, 21 Apr 1996 10:55:47 -1000 Organization: Your Organization Message-ID: <4le7cj$hm8@moreinfo.com> Hi All, If I don't build a Tracer I'll need to buy one or a similar kite. Is the Tracer UL in Icarex the best way to go for the money. Money is a BIG concern, but the kite must be able to fly the book. What would be the best kite from a cost/benefit analysis, with under $200 being the limit?

I don't find any significant advantage in the Tracer & the Trooper is alot cheaper. On the whole they are both middle of the road Ultra-Lights, but at the price (apprx $180 Can.) I have found nothing that can touch the Trooper! Hope my ramblings have helped. Chad Auld - Flight of Fancy Kites = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
