The stunt kites I like: the Sonic and the XTC line of  kites from  Buena Vista Kites. This one is my Sonic.  If the wind is blowing significantly at all (over 10 mph.), it's essentially impossible to over power the Sonic with input.  Large, fast hand motions are rewarded with predictable, radial behavior.  All of it under control, all of it reversible during the middle of a maneuver.
