Ed Cline - 2-8-2019 at 01:55 PM

It's the same as power kiting, you wake up one morning with an empty wallet, and a month later this shows up. about 31'x15.5' so how many sq meters?

Some cool kites there Ed!

BTW - I come up with about 22 sq meters for the big delta.

Thanks Randy, I might have ordered 20m. She said she sold a 20m to some frenchman and I said oh yeah.
The green one above was about 11.5x22'. They fly on 550# or 1200# if it starts to sing to me.

I keep saying I need a single line day but, if it's good enough for SL it's worth a try with the bug so it doesn't get done. :(

FYI
A few of us are buggying at or near Ocean Shores, Washington this weekend.
So If anyone is on the fence... you'll have company.
I'm pretty sure Jed wants to set up a race course again:wee::wee::wee:

pretty sure the new fabrics go up a lot quicker than the all naturals from back when...
thats why i don't wear stuff like that
squire position pay any good?

Ed Cline - 2-8-2019 at 03:18 PM

It's the composite rods that give you trouble.

Does it come with the uniform and a full head of hair?

Pay is outstanding and the tips flow for truly exceptional squiring. :frog:

Strongly played Sean! That was some finger lickin' food porn. :thumbup:

Having done some Squiring for Windstruck I can attest that when "tips flow" they are often in the form of flowing tips [mmm Adult Beverages mmmm]

Nice looking kites Ed. How does the trilobite fly? What size is it? Did you get it direct from china or from a US store?
Thanks for sharing.

Ed Cline - 6-8-2019 at 09:09 AM

guru, it flies great in any wind. always wondered about the meters they sold it as 32m it says 36 though
custom colors direct from weifang.



Found a flying video too.
