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.

Beamer Review

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.

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.

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.

Happy Winds!
