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?

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.

It's the composite rods that give you trouble.
Does it come with the uniform and a full head of hair?

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?
