Flying at the time, Australia’s best Sport Kites, made by Bob Dawson of Leading Edge Kites as well as the world renowned North Shore Radicals, among others. Over the next few years I was never out of the top placings but that 1st. place was eluding me. | |
| In late 1993 I was introduced to the MEFM. The innovative features, materials and construction of this kite just blew me away. The love affair began. Early in 1994 I entered my first competition flying the MEFM, the Australian Nationals, and was awarded the Gold in both Masters Precision and Freestyle and a Bronze for ballet. | |

| With the innovative design and construction techniques of the original MEFM so far ahead of its time there has been no need to modify this classic over the years. | |

| From the original, several other models have been developed, mainly for the serious competitor. The Microlite, for extremely low wind conditions, the Missile for bigger winds and the Meteor, developed for the ‘trick flyer’ and the competitor who wants the ultimate ‘trick’ kite that will also fly with the same rock solid precision as the original. | |

The MEFM, handmade in Australia, will always be made without compromise. When dealing with MEFM Australia you will only deal with me, so I personally guarantee my genuine commitment not only to the MEFM but to your satisfaction as a valued customer” . |
