I'm in...

G'day all, I have severly worn out the sheathing on my Level One Jumping Jack Flash and I'd like to replace the bridle and was hoping someone would either have a link or know the standard bridle lengths so I can make another. The existing one is pretty frayed so I'm unsure what the proper length is suppose to be, Cheers, John

G'day guys & gals, Quite recently I got the chance to chat with JB & Bazzer about my current idea's in regards to night kiting and what light options we all use. By now a lot of people are aware of the "Finger Lights", sold as a pack of 4 usually with a colored LED bulb mounted in a small housing with a elastic backing which you can use to attach to your finger or in our case, the kite. Through experimenting, I have found a High Powered LED Epistar of either 1W or 3W that you can solder little leads onto then sandwich a CR2032 button cell battery in between the leads. The advantage of this LED is it has a 140degree viewing angle and extremely bright. I have placed these LED's either in front of the kite, of projected the light onto the back of the kite using a stand-off. I have also used the Turnigy light sets, available from HobbyKing online, and they really, really stand out. The REV pic attached has both a Turningy light strip as well as the individual 1W LED's on the corner's. I have also recently discovered a DIY light kit being offered, but will purchase & test before posting here. What have you made/ use to light up your kite?

ooh oooh... suprise me??..
