Flying a stunter is much more exciting than traditional kiteflying. Ultralights need amazingly little wind to fly. Made as lightweight as possible with graphite spars, they're a bit fragile for inexperienced fliers to learn on. Quadline kites can move forwards or backwards, at the speed you choose. Center pivot turns are done simply by making one side of the kite go forward and the other side backward.
Power kites , on the other hand, serve a very different form of entertainment.
They are strong, powerful flyers that are used to do various things. The most popular uses of power kites are buggying, kite sailing and kite jumping. These big kites develop a tremendous pull in strong winds. The sporting edge of stunt kite flying, Power Kites appeal to the risk taker who likes the pull and excitement at the max. The danger is obvious, but as with many sports, it's part of the appeal.
