None of the listed folks paid a penny to be on this list and I receive NO commission or other fee if you buy a kite from any of them.
I have this list as a service to all visitors to this site; both the kite makers who want to sell kites and of course for those who want to buy.
If you are a kite maker or a company that sells fighter kites and would like to be on this list, please email me and give me a general idea of the type of fighter kites you want to sell and I will include you in the list.
If you are a buyer and experience difficulty with any of the listed kite sources, please let me know. You may also want to post your buying experience, good or not, on the forum.
