Flexifoil Viper!


Can someone tell me a little about these kites? I have been looking all over and never heard of this one. Thanks.

They were based on the Skykites Predator I design, which I believe Peter Mirchovic (sp?), the owner of Skykites, sold to Flexifoil. Depending on what you read/who you speak to, Flexifoil then modified the Pred I design slightly and ended up with a slightly detuned Predator.

I saw plenty of people flying Predators back in the UK in the late 90s, but never seen or flown a Viper. The Predator was/is an awesome kite though, so even a slightly detuned version would still be a cool kite to have, although compared to todays modern race kites (Yaks, Cents) its probably not as fast.
