The idea behind the X4I was to be a low priced, easy to fly, indoor kite package. The construction quality of the X4I is much the same as the rest of the Buena Vista line--laser cut panels, sail-taped seams, flawless quality. The basic construction is that of Buena Vista's larger kites, but with "micro" fittings, etc. Flying. The X4I is a really neat little kite. The four-foot size makes the kite very flyable on seven-foot lines. This makes flying the X4I in small spaces--lobbies, tall rooms, etc.-- very possible, and lot's of fun. The X4I's lift is simply amazing. A quick pull with both hands will send the kite flying over your head. Its small size gives it a lot of maneuverability on short lines. Spinning the kite indoors, on seven-foot lines, is fairly easy--on the twelve foot lines, it's a no-brainer. Falling-axles work great. This kite really shines in the 3-D flying department. Throwing--and thraxeling (throw-axle)--the kite works really, really well. These kites original retail for between 80 and 90 dollars new. This very lightly used model is for sale for $50.00 plus shipping. 1 of the rubber sleeves has been pushed through by the stand off as you can see in the picture. It is an easy fix.
