Today is the day, lets roll them dice... This month's prize is going home with subscriber #1632, huge congrats to @edub! Thanks to everyone as always for all your support, stay tuned for a new prize soon. 🙏

We're pleased to yet again announce the next prize being given away to our most appreciated supporters, the Kitelife Subscribers... This month, Skydog Kites and Hang 'em High Fabrics have donated a 1000' spool of 150 lb spectra - good for a few line sets! == If you haven't done so already, You can sign up here.Odds of winning for this prize is currently 1/418, and will be drawn on September 10th, 2020!Our thanks, and the very best to you... Let the drooling begin.

According to my Rainbow Stunt Kite instructions, the 6-pack should be flown on 80lb braided dacron line in winds up to 20mph. In higher winds, either remove kites from the stack or use stronger line. You would probably be fine using 100-150lb Spectra.

Thank you for the welcome! I am new to the hobby/sport but recently discovered kite flying is a great activity to combine with my family's love for traveling with our RV. My home is in Monument, Colorado and my favorite camping destination is the Oregon coast. I happened upon the Lincoln City Kite Festival a few years back and was fascinated with level of control the quad flyers had with their kites. I picked up my first quad at a local hobby show and it sat in my RV until last summer. I now have about 15 hours of flying (and crashing, untangling lines, chasing the handles down the beach after leaving it leading edge up, chasing the kite sleeve down beach, etc...) under my belt. As a newbie, I appreciate the wealth of knowledge this community is willing to share!

Thanks guys! I ended up placing an order for one from Chicago Kite. I’ll report back with a review once I receive and fly it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

What kites and styles do you fly?

Thanks, JB! Hello to all - I've been flying dual line kites off and on for over 30 years, but hoping to get into quad kites soon. Dave
