Hey GRK:
I've got one of those still in the box in my cupboard. Been sitting there for... quite some time now. Forgotten project.

How big a hill do you really need?
You reckon some dunes on the beach would be enough?

what one do you have? I was flying the Zagi HLT there, I also have the normal combat zagi, the HLT has realy nice handeling and can fly the lift from a bug fart!
I have flown along 3 foot walls at the beach! in the right conditions. sand dunes are perfect! the HLT is good from 5 knots less at some sites! the sink rate is very good, as long as theres some upward movement in the air it will fly! :) the std Zagi needs a little more but I have still flown 6 foot sand dunes with it
Put that thing together! Its great to just keep in the car boot or whatever, It gets plenty of use!

First time was in Maui about 10 years ago. What I noticed first was the operator,a 6' blonde bikini clad babe that was built like a battleship. ( I kid you not).

The only difficulty I had was deciding which way to look, up at the kite or down at the operator, both pretty spectacular. At that stage Kites could not go up wind.
