Got the Ace today. Thanks again John.



I knew how big this kite was but seeing it in person now made it just a little larger than I thought

Dude... Jason that's HILARIOUS! I took the same pic with my ace when I got it!! :D And my reaction was "Wow... that's a lot bigger than i had expected!" It's a beauty... Cheers my friend, we've got the same kite quiver so far

ready for take off?

If we had wind and it wasn't 100 deg. out here I wouldn't be online...lol.

You think it looks big now ... wait till your holding the handles getting ready to launch in 15-20mph. :o

Well I got her out today but wind was maybe 5-8 gusting 10-12. I had a blast. In those winds the lift is easy to deal with. I was trying to make it lift to see how bad it would be, and managed about four 2-3' jumps in. Nothing fancy just a few pendulum jumps.

Its amazing how much bigger they look inside compared to outside or up in the air. I live in a tiny apartment and had to hang my 8m out to dry after some snowkiting this winter. I hung it from the ceiling and it literally went wall to wall.........truth is I really didn't want to take it down once it was dry. It just looked so beautiful and magnificent up there.

anyone know of a place to hang up a 14 meter to dry. i tried unrolling it in my house once but that didnt work out very well

Uhmm....Do you have trees in your backyard?

______ nice throwrug!

One that I will never clean my feet on

yeah, but it could wipe the face off your smile:o ALWAYS remember that.

I've got a line - much like a clothesline that goes diagonally across our basement, through doors as required. When it's in use, obviously there's a kite hanging from it but when it's not, some simple screws set in the roof hold the line up, out of the way.

tree in the back yard that may work and yes it can will and has wiped the smile off my face. but nothing serious. sorry if itseems i hijacked the thread.

go lowes and get a 50 ft. retractable clothesline. They are great, when not in use it retracts into a little plastic case hanging on wall, fence,pole,tree whatever. and they are cheap too.

I've got single line kites that won't fit in my living room

But it's always impressive the first time you get a bigger power kite and spread it out. Have fun with it!

Unless I am just dying after a session, I always let the kite dry before I pack it up... Or unless I packed quickly because of the rain. I read on a thread here that it takes a while for anything bad to happen from water in your kite or lines. I always make it a point to take my kites to the park, roll them out, rinse them with some fresh water, and then fly them 'till they're dry.

I use one of those gardening/ herbicide things that you pump up and spray. Not a lot of power, but a stream of fresh water wherever I want it.
