If the kite interests you, you might want to check out the HQ new quadline, the Yon (although it doesn't have the clown based theme).

Probably not as precise and propellors will be a bit different.... but sometimes it's fun to be a platypus.
Earlier there was discussion that the Yon was a rip-off of the David Davies SkyDancer (a much beloved kite among some). Still not sold on that...
little differences can make kites waaaay different.
Hard to speculate on exactly how it will fly (except that it probably won't fly like a Rev.... not necessarily a bad thing...just different).
Hopefully HQ will post some videos shortly before the release.
FWIW: I am a fan of the DropKick which is definitely waay less precise than a Rev.... especially in reverse flight.
However, I just fell in love with the way it looks. Burble.... I am so shallow.
:sniff:

Coulrophobia, yea thats it I think. My spelling was off due to the
Coulrophobia setting in. It's a condition from the video.

UH OH !!!!!!!
You KNOW I want one!
Static flying could become fun again .
Looks like a decent kite maker could pull something like this off ?
Does anybody have a clue who could make something similar ? :bigok:
It looks like it can generate some power ? I picture myself riding along on my Coyotes the beach being dragged by a big bouncing clown !! Talk about
a gig that was designed for ME ! :wee:
