I would steer you towards a 2m Beamer over the Imp. It flies much better and as you progress (it won't take long) you will be much happier with the Beamer.

Read a couple reviews I did on the two.

Another option is the Peter Lynn Hornet

The imp is nice and pretty good quality. But to me it is a 2 line kite they made into 4 lines. The Beamer is definitely a 4 line kite with alot more gusto.

I'd take an Imp over a Beamer any day, but then I don't like the Beamer. A much better option yet would be the Ozone Flow.

Does anyone actually have a Flow in stock these days though or would one have a problem getting it (per the Ozone distribution problems)?

A Wind of Change has 2m and 4m Flows. He is "waiting" for a shipment of 3m and 5m Flows.

i was waiting for 2m and 3m flows for over 2 months.

Excellent insight. Thank you. Again, this forum is amazing. The most active and helpful forum I have participated in.

It seems wise to include Beamer and Ozone Flow on my "wanted" list. I prefer used but good condition in order to keep costs down.

Flexifoil Stings are great for the money too.

We have the Imp trainer in stock. The IMP trainer is actually a 3 line kite on a bar. Quite different than the two line IMP or the IMP Quattro's - and totally different than the Beamers. The IMP Trainer is designed to teach people how to fly on a control bar, not handles. The closest thing to the IMP trainer from HQ would be the Rush Pro - we have those in stock as well.

For the Flow's, I have 2's and 4's in stock, waiting for the 3's and 5's to arrive. We also have stock on the Yakuza GT's. Ozone supply has been tough lately but I have been assured that the issues are being worked out and should be back on track soon.
