Half a dozen Cheetahs

Once upon a time, we had a Rare Air Pro Cheetah Spectrum in 'rainbow' colours. Very nice kite to fly, very elegant, and very good for team-flying. Some time after, we managed to get our hands on another Spectrum, this time in the 'ice' colour scheme. Needless to say, they fly well together ...



The Spectrum wasn't the only Cheetah model. Depending on the number of sail panels, there was also a Stealth and a Shield. The Spectrum had the most sail panels, the Stealth the least. It didn't last too long before we also had a Cheetah Stealth pair .... 



Pair of Spectrums, pair of Stealths, one pair still missing, right? I wasn't actively looking for a pair of Shields, but when a dear friend of ours passed away, his entire kite collection was given to us, to fly and do with as we saw fit, and that set of kites did include a pair of Shield Cheetahs ...



Same elegance in flying as the other Cheetah models, and we're happy to have added them to our quiver. We'll always be reminded of our friend when flying them ...
