Right now, just a couple of the uber-popular triangular parafoil kites with a single line. They're easy to fly and fun. I built one of those WWI balsa and tissue kites once, mostly as an art project (it was the Fokker Triplane one, but painted psychedelically), it was unbelieveably hard to fly and very delicate, so it was repaired three or so times before it went back to simply being a piece of ceiling art in the living room. I also once built one of those tetrahedral kites: they're really great, but they require a *very* windy day.

Its not even a hobby for me, just a fun thing to do a couple times a year. I know nothing about these things and am in awe of those people who do the stunt stuff.
