..... what you do when there is no wind ??? Do you have bunch of fun toys to play with when kites are waiting for better forecast ??
..... Let's dream big for a moment ..... and here is few examples what to dream about ....
.....
Drones .....
We all want them .... but getting whole set up is not that cheap .... There is more and more options piping up everywhere with competitive pricing
....
1. DJI Phantom .... we all know this one .... most popular drone out there and now with bigger better brother Inspire 1 !!... for only
$3000 ..... lol http://www.dji.com/product/inspire-1
2. Airdog .... with auto follow option !!! its like flying Soloshot https://www.airdog.com
RC boat too small ??? Need something bigger ???
How about that :
Quarofoil ...... Why I don't poop $$$$ .... I would get one right now .... http://www.quadrofoil.com
something more realistic ??? with smaller price tag and still fun on water ?
Seadoo Spark http://www.quadrofoil.com
Jetski is not fun for you ???
How about jetpack ?
Aquaflyer .... I know there is few more companies making similar toys .... somehow I forgot to add those to my link list http://jetlev.com/product/jetlev-aquaflyer/
How to get to kite spot with some of your gear ( space a bit limited )
Reeper .... street legal ATV ..... awesome if you few miles away from beach that you can drive on ..... http://oreionmotors.com/reeper
Polaris Slingshot ..... I am very tempted by this one ..... but 22K for few fun rides a year is quite expensive .... so we looking forward to
see what Van from VTT will create with his inspired mind and buggy building skills ...... Is your frame ready Van ? http://www.polaris.com/en-us/slingshot
I have whole bunch of links with cool toys that I wish I can afford .... and sometimes it happens that I am able to get one .... Nothing is as much
exciting for me like getting big air when kiteboarding or speeding in buggy on Wildwood shore ..... but I can't stop collecting all those links for
some non kiting fun .....
Share yours .....

Unfortunately I buy power tools and continue to work on the house. I used to get excited about buying tools, but not as much anymore. Pretty boring.Kamikuza - 25-11-2014 at 10:08 PM

Dittos here Sean,... I've got a whole shop full... Just finished this guy up... Homeschooling means a never ending flow of books entering the
household, shelf space grows sparse quickly.
definitely in the drone market , but in the why bother with junk you can just buy . ....
i much rather build my own ..which starts at something like this.
Can definitely see the allure of DIY.... for those that don't have ready access to tools for the more detail oriented fabrication,
Flite Test is a good source for prebuilt components that you can use to jumpstart your drone. I love the slightly predatory look of the BatBone.
There's also the Electro Hub for those that prefer a more traditional 4 rotot setup.

I am sure it would be nice to build your own drone ...... but I don't think I have enough knowledge to do that ....

When your wife is a motor head you may get to polish a couple of her cars & go to a cruise in on no wind days.
Dayhiker - 13-12-2014 at 08:01 PM
Or she will let you take her to a car show so you can haul her trophy home for her in your old pickup. Best Ford in show was too big to fit in her
little 33 Tudor. The F1 got best original antique.

nice stuff, good medicine for no wind.Flyfish - 14-12-2014 at 01:01 PM
I get to play with this big expensive toy... That is when I'm paying the gas. I get to play with a bigger more epensive one when I'm not.
PHREERIDER - 14-12-2014 at 04:08 PM

toys toys and more toys....... kober you make me want to spend more money...... drones are like kites i can never have enough:Daronma - 15-12-2014 at 03:39 PM
When I was young I liked to lower my dog out of the bedroom window in a basket, particularly when my parents were entertaining guests in the lounge
below. I had no other hobbies before or since then apart from flying a kite of course. For a short time I did have an interest in computers with an
unhealthy obsession collecting Commodore Amiga magazines and keeping them in pristine condition. My mum through them away when I was at college. Today
I see these mags on eBay fetching £7 each and I had stacks of hundreds.jellis - 15-12-2014 at 04:38 PM
Does anyone want to pick up mill in Indiana and drive it out to the northwest? :Dindigo_wolf - 15-12-2014 at 04:45 PM
