  2. Hey Bunduki, I would love to man, but unfortunately I am on a vacation from 05/04 until 12/04. If anything changes I will give you a PM, but as it stands now I am unfortunately away. Thank you for thinking about it. 👍

  4. While digging around the internet looking for something else I came across the Windswept Kites site. One of the pages [link] directs to a Google Drive containing various manuals and catalogues. In the 'Single line Kites' folder you'll find the instructions for the Sky Delights Dimorphodon.
  5. I came across this video from 2008 [in glorious 240p] of a "soon to be released" prototype freestyle kite from Andy Preston. It looks a lot like a modified Psycho, but that had already been released by 2008. Does anyone perhaps have any further details on this--did this ever reach production, or was it scrapped entirely?

  8. Thank you for asking, I got all necessary information from the nice people at ITW! Best regards, Jens
  9. Bit of an update. While browsing the forums and reading up on open source kite plans, I came across a similar topic from 2021--oddly enough I'd missed this when specifically searching for the term "HQ Flow" 🤦‍♂️ Nonetheless, I'd also come across two YouTube videos by gokitinggr showing the Flow in action: Part 1: Mostly light-no wind conditions and tomfoolery until the 05:20 minute mark Part 2: Some tricks after adding a tail weight Interestingly, the kite in the video doesn't have Flow printed on it, whereas photos from the HQ website (below) do 🤔 Anyway, my Flow should arrive early next 😄
  10. Dave, you lucky son of a gun, congratulation with this wonderful prize. 👍

  19. I think my 3-D has a punctured nose--something to check on my next visit. I didn't get much opportunity to fly it at the time, but when I did it was an absolute blast. It felt like it wanted to be on its belly performing helicopters rather than being upright and flying. Apart from the 3-D, my older kites need a bit of a breeze to stay airborne. Not a problem back home, but those drills from the Prism videos will definitely come in handy in the future. I was looking at the Prism Nexus 2.0, but maybe the Hypnotist would be a better option though? There doesn't seem to be any one who stock Prism in South Africa, and the custom duties will probably cost the same (if not more!) as the kite. I have work trips to Europe and the United States planned for later in the year, so that could be my opportunity to buy a few kites that would otherwise be difficult (and expensive) to obtain in SA. Suggestions for other manufacturers are very welcome! Thank you, I actually watched those two nights ago Also watched the first part of the Stranger video. I remember watching this intently and learning to emulate Andy's arm movements. Sadly the footage from the wind farm wasn't uploaded by the user. For a longest time the Psycho was my dream kite. I saved up for months, but eventually ended up buying an Erazor instead as it was newer. It didn't come with a VHS 😐 For now I'm focussing on a modern dual line, but not entirely ruling out the possibility of coming home from my trip to the US with a quad
  20. I met Cindy and she gave me all of Steve's notes on his 24 pack. Later, after she sold the company, I had the manufacturer make some changes for a 30 pack I built. I the added 20 of my 24 pack to the 30 pack and flew 50 at Venice Beach. I still have the 30 pack but haven't flown them in years.
