Nice new avatar BR!

kite is leaving this TUE ... sorry for the delay need to use the kite this monday for TV show.

on its way to harddrive8

Received today. Did a little flying, about 15 min. worth, before having to come in and start getting ready for school.

Edit:

I got to fly it a little more this afternoon/evening and it really is a power on/power off kite when static flying. It is super easy to launch even in lighter winds. I also would like to comment that the pull is a bit more than I expected for the low wind conditions I was flying in.

After a while of flying in low gusty winds, the wind picked up to be a bit more steady. I decided to try several of the AAA settings and never could get it good and stable towards the edge of the window. It kept wanting to fold in half. I'll play with it a little more within the next few days and see what I can come up with getting it to be a little more stable at the edge. While in center of the window, it was a different animal completely. It gave plenty of pull and seemed like it would be a good buggy, ATB engine.

These are my thoughts after the first day flying it. We're actually supposed to have some higher winds that we normally don't get around here (upwards of 16mph on Wednesday according to weather.com).

Had some more time on the kite as this past week wound down with uncharacteristic winds. Winds are back to the normal 4-8mph so kite will probably leave out by the middle of the week to the next person in line.

We really had uncharacteristic winds in this area this past week blowing in the upper teens and lower 20's. During some of the drop off periods when it was blowing 10-15mph, I took the Electra out for more flight time. In about 13+ winds, it pulls hard. Sandman and I received quite a few scuds across some short grass. We also tested a few different AAA settings to try to get it dialed in to be more stable than it was Monday. We did manage to get it a little more stable, but it still seemed to lack the ability to keep from folding up as it got closer to the edge of the window.

Kite left this morning on it's way to Screwyfits.

eli wants to fly this...

Eli, I'm next on the list after Screwyfits. When it gets to me I may just have to make a trip up. What an excuss to get up to sunset beach. lol.

oddly, this kite has already been to sobb 2008 with Bladerunner.

i'm making special arrangements with Eli.

I got the kite on Friday... Thanx... But you forgot something very important!!!



A lil wind to go with it... I'm SOL with mother nature as of now... I'm hoping this weekend... otherwise I ship to the next in the next week or so, with no review... maybe get back on the end of the list... or wait till NABX...:D

On it's way to csa_deadon today...

Thanx RIP... You Da Man!!!

I'd like to Thank Ripsessionkites for his selfless act of kindness for all the Pass the Kites that he has provided us here on the forum, also in trusting people that he has never met with valuable product of his... Please everybody help me thank him and lets do our best to get these kites back in a solid state as originally sent... Which I think we are doing!!!

THANK YOU RIP!!!

Yes! I must agree with Screwy, and thank Ripsession myself... This was my first pass the kite, and it was a really enjoyable experience that I hope I can take part in again in the future.

I'm not sure who came up with the pass the kite or when it started, but it's really a win win for everybody involved I think. It's really nice to be able to get a kite for a few weeks to try and be able to pass it on without a car full of money invested.

On it's way to WG!!

The kite is on it's way to me.
I have not been able to get on the manufactures website. Does anyone have pictures?

Anyone who has flown the kite have any good feedback on it?
