TwisterII 5.6 first flight

nightwolf - 12-6-2011 at 06:46 AM

So i took it to the park, unfurled it, and the first words out of mine and my friends mouths were "That's a big d@mn Kite!" I know its not the biggest out there not even close, but we just don't have kite shops here in Knoxville. So I set up the lines, the wind was light, so i hot launched it. Slowly it climbed up and it went to zenith and sat there, stable as a well trained horse. I was stoked, I turned it a few times and got used to the controls. Then the fun began, i got out from behind the tree line and was blasted by about a 10mph gust. That's when i realized I don't have a horse, I have an M1 Abrams tank on the end of my lines.:wee:
So I used the power to drag me around the park. I was exhausted and let the kite killers do their thing. Overall A WONDERFUL day.

I remember my first time on a TII 5.6...so awesome! Just wait till you get your skills up before you take that baby out in 18-22 mph winds like I did. It hurts :crazy:

Glad you like it man! It's an awesome kite!!
