So it cant all be attributed to the white "bird like" Spark from the kite's (hawk's) perspective. Certainly why I got the red one, with that in mind. Where we live and I will fly mostly, we have a variety of birds of prey, Marsh Hawks, Red Tailed Hawks, Kestrels, Bald Eagles, Turkey Vultures, Ravens and Crows... Should be interesting to see who shows the most interest in the Spark.... I've only flown my toy XS890HW so far, training up for Atti mode! Last weekend some swallows flew close to it for a look.. I was within 150 feet of their nesting box... we supply them with free hotel rooms every year!
