I posted a new thread in reference to your post, I didnt want to take this thread off topic. Some places get upset about such. -
So i ended up ordering the big buzz flexifoil for my first kite. I was concerned about the material of the lines (dyneema?), so I called flexifoil last week and spoke with someone who told me it was dyneema that has been pre-stretched. This surprised me as I have read a few people here on the forums who were unsure of its makeup. Anyone have any comments here? Now im waiting on it to arrive. I'm hoping that in low wind times it will be flyable by my Son.

Dacron is sold mostly for SLKs, in many strengths and lengths. Lines are the only "Physical" connection to the kite!!!! -
Totally agree, use the polyester line that came with my HQ Quickstep for other purposes than kiting, because I refuse to let anyone, beginners as well, to be subject to much inferior lines - go Spectra/Dyneema (though the brands I use differs from those commonly mentioned on KL: Climax and Liros). Are nylon and dacron lines even sold as kite lines? How about emotionally connected? 🙂 -
I don't do roll ups, but yet needed to add (rip stop) tape to hold them. Much differently, but wouldn't like to be without either one. The Kymera is a great and trickable flyer with a large wind window. The Hydra got a smaller wind window. Little input is required to make it do much trickwise. Pitch sensitive as well - won't get stuck in a turtle. For a beginner the Kymera would be easier to understand. In case I'd be out on an initially low wind day starting with the HQ Shadow, I could then go on with the ITW Kymera, then the ITW Hydra, then HQ Infinity (then a vented QLK).
