Just wanted to post up as I'm a noob and this is my first post. I've been reading up on here for the past 2 weeks to get some info and there is alot of great stuff on here. I met up w/ Dlish yesterday. Great guy! He brought out a couple kites for me to try out and get a feel for the differences. Tried out the Beammer 3m and a Pansh Ace 3.5m. Couldn't believe the difference. I got pretty confident w/ the Beammer but that Ace has some serious power. I ended up taking the new Beammer off his hands and have no regrets. Plan on getting an Ace 5m down the road.
Anyway, just want to say thanks to all on here for the great info I have gotten. Without this site I would of bought the $40 ebay special. Thanks again to Dlish for yesterday and making my first experience a great one. Yep, I'm addicted! Can't wait to get out and fly again!

welcome to the forum...

the more experienced bros will be along soon to extend theirs...

and welcome to the addiction, it can be remarkably healthy as long as you don't try to rush up the learning curve too fast!!!

take care,

furbo

Welcome to the beamer club :cool2:

Its only just begun:singing:

Enjoy and fly safe

Derwood,
It was great to meet you yesterday. You made a good choice on your kite selection. We would all be lucky on the forum if there were more people like Derwood. He actually read and did his homework instead of posting " I'm a newbie and I want a blade IV 6.5m to get 30 ft. jumps" I'm tired of reading that.
Derwood thinks he's hooked now wait till we get him in a buggy

I think this makes the norcal group 6 D's now

I was just checking out the pics of the sod farm. I'll have to come check it out. I can see me getting into a buggy or maybe on a landboard. Anybody at the sod farm landboard? Man, I'm gonna have to start selling some of my other toys or the woman is gonna kill me!:D

yep.. be nice to the woman and you better start building those rc frames again (when the wind is not blowing) :D

Flew with Derwood21 yesterday and I can easily say "HOOK LINE AND SINKER" :evil:

Very fast learning curve, he seemed to pick it up fast, controlling the beamer very well... flew a 4.5m Legand very well also... biggest deal was it was pumping a good 25 all day...

Good job Derwood21:singing:

Had alot of fun. I thought my arms would be hurting the most this morning but I think its my a$$! Thanks for all the tips and letting me try out the kites. Now that I have a good feel of them, I just might have to try the buggy out next time. I keep thinking about that crossfire. I'm going to have to man up next time and try it out.

Welcome to the forum! Glad to hear you had a good time. Dlish is a good guy. I think it was great that you got to try before you buy. I will be with you all as soon as my foot heals. What buggy did you say you were getting? I remember when I first started on this forum All most all my posts had the old (my wifes gonna kill me) phrase in it. Yea your hooked.

You can accomplish very little in just an hour using this site have a
great time...
