Hey @RobB, I saw this one and immediately thought you would like it. I think the seller would prefer a face to face though... in Germany.

Very true Wayne but it's not put her off so all is good [emoji4] just a learning curve for her and some retraining of the muscle memory [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

Well your posts definitely help a new person like me! Thank you! I'll let you know what I find out when I call tomorrow.

Thank you. The bidding got really crazy the last minute or so. It took me a while after the bidding ended to realize I had the winning bid. Then I was literally jumping up and down. Now I'm waiting for just the right day and right wind to give it it's first flight.

Thanks for the (automated) welcome! As a kid I took many trips to San Francisco and watched many people flying kites. On one trip my parents bought me a stunt kite that I've kept for about 15 years, only flown it a handful of times because I'm afraid it'll tear since it's a poly kite. A couple years ago I bought a couple delta style stunt kites on eBay for around $20 a piece and fly them a couple times a year at the beach. We have a couple cheap dollar-store kites for the kids as well. Fast forward to now, I just went to San Francisco last week and bought a Prism Pica and I started thinking about flying kites more often, started doing research, found out that my (nearly dead) old kite is a classic TRLBY. I wish I could find more of those, so much fun to fly, and it seems easier than the delta style ones I bought from eBay. I perused the classified section and see a huge price jump going from no-name kites (even rip-stop nylon+fiberglass) and the name-brand ones. Is it just like any other hobby? Quality goes up dramatically? or is there more to it? Are the aerodynamics that much different? Easier to fly? Thanks!

thank you baily, I may need to take you up on that.

Wow, nice kite, great price ! If only it was a full-vent or extra-vent.... I'd be all over this. But for our friends considering buying Rev-clones, this should be a no-brainer !
