    fyi

    Bob Lewis company is no more. His son Jimmy is said to be re-vamping the company as "Jimmy Lewis Kite Hunter Company"

    "The venerable Bob Lewis Kite Company is no more. Judy Lewis closed down the company. Bob’s son Jimmy picked up the baton and will enter the kite business. The firm will now be known as the Jimmy Lewis Kite Hunter Company. Captain Jimmy has some exiting new plans to bring the moribund products into the twenty first century. He mentioned color coated kite pins, complete kite kits, floating kites and other innovations that should be exiting. Captain Jim took over the company because he needed something to do in his spare time. " ...quote from Dude's report (miami fl dec. 2006)

    Hope this helps, I don't have Jimmy's newest numbers anymore.

    Kinda hate to say it but.....the SFI's or SFE's blow them all out the door.
    Did not want to mess up or get between any stock order(s), but for your personal usage....the sfe or sfi (can't remember right now) but after 25 years playing with kites, they fly much better than the rest...especially the Aftco, they are @ the bottom of the list next to a box kite.
    For xx-light winds and xx-strong the Lewis kites may have an edge though.
    But the helium baloons we use fit better behind the SFE's better too.
