This is me, rather stupidly flying a 7m in 16mph winds without kite killers, filmed today.

Did you recover the kite? or is it gone?

Thats Very Funny Brother..
I had my Blade take off too.. I thought it was down,even had a kite stake holding the handle ends.. I was away and it powered up and away it
went...After a LONG Run..I found it 3 dunes over..
I bet getting the lines untangled was the #@%$#!.
Hope all is well.

I recovered it after a big sprint, and amazingly the thing had cleared both the right and left side of a high fenced astra-turf pitch and landed the
other side, the lines were neatly placed over the top of the of the fences creating a ŽbridgeŽ effect - and no tangles!!!
There was a few people about 50M from were it landed looking on bemused!

Glad that no one was hurt or damage to the cars or buildings.

We get so many people on here wanting to try a big kite right off. I know you did your ground work and will be sure to point that out BUT............
would you mind if I linked a few folks that need to see what I'm saying to this clip??? If a picture is worth a thousand words a good video is worth a
million laughs . I good light hearted way to get the point across :tumble:
Link away.
