Anyone farmiliar with New Tech Kites? I was looking at their kite called The Techno which is supposedly a high end 2-line stunt kite. I like the $100 price tag, but is it as good as they say?

Not familiar with them, but you can't go wrong with an HQ Symphony. I have the 2.7, and it is excellent. Very quick on the turns, huge power for a kite its size. Very high quality as well. I have nosedived the thing numerous times (mostly other people who I am teaching how to fly ;-) ) and it has shown no ill effects after 3 years. Comes with 320# Dyneema line too. You will not be sorry.

I can vouch for the symphony as well. Airhunter bought his after trying mine. Another friend bought one for the same reason. I bought one for my dad as well. Always a fun stable flight that will wear you out in a stiff wind. And you aren't taking a chance on not getting HQ quality.

New Tech is a manstream brand of kites for general kite and toy retailers. Nothing wrong with that. Their Techno is a 2-line stunt kite. Some of the power kiters here know a lot about stunters, but most of the expertise here is on powerkites.
