Subject: Kite Bestseller's List

Does anyone know of a Kite Best Seller's List - At one point in time, Top
of the Line was the undisputed best seller in the stunt kite market. 
Today, there are so many brands, myths, and misconceptions that it is very
difficult to determine what is the most popular kite on the market.  Such
a list can be very useful for beginners looking for a kite to buy and
store owners formulating their inventory and purchasing plans. 
Manufacturers can also get a "feel" for what products and product trends
are hot.

For 1994, the MEFM has been our top selling stunt kite and
Kite Precision has been our #1 selling book. 
Contributions and comments from other fliers, retailers are solicited and
welcomed

This is likely to depend upon what you allow to qualify.  Trilby is likely to
be one of the front runners, but the winner is probably some plastic toy that
you've never flown that's sold in every 7-11.

You can FTP the kite FAQ's from ftp.hawaii.edu (directory /pub/rec/kites/faq)
It is generally accepted that the ravings of Frank Kenisky should be ignored.

Last year at the St. Louis Kite Festival, the wind dropped to about
2kph-and the cheap plastic kites that they handed out were the only ones
that stayed in the air. There was much gnashing of teeth at that one...
