MAC Kites are very fast Nylon Fighter Kites with exceptional spin rates, easily comparable to the best traditional Indian paper kites with the added strength and durability of bonded rip-stop nylon.

The MAC series of Fighter Kites are available in three sizes - Mini (12" Spine), Midi (16" Spine) and Mega (23" Spine).

The following guide to size, speed and wind conditions is directly related to which particular MAC kite you purchase. As a rule of thumb, the Mini MAC will fly and spin faster than the larger Midi & Mega MACs but requires a strong wind due to the reduced sail area. The Midi MAC is just that, a kite that will fly and spin very well in average wind conditions. The increased sail area of the Mega MAC creates a greater wind resistance and although this will result in a slower, steadier flight it will enable the kite to be flown, under full control at great distances in a light wind.

Therefore, it is reasonably safe to assume that if the wind is light, a large kite would be the right choice, as it would catch more of the wind. In stronger winds, select a smaller kite, as it would survive the wind better with the added bonus of a considerable increase in speed and manoeuvrability.

One important factor, which also affects the speed of the fighting kite, is the bow. A kite made with a soft bow will fly slower than one made with a stiffer bow. The bows are of a different specification on all models of Mac kites, all three designs have been tested and the bow selected for optimum performance.

For your first fighting kite, we would recommend a Midi or a Mega MAC, both of which have a softer bow. Once you have mastered these, you may consider a Mini MAC with a stiffer bow for a faster, more challenging flying session.
