I keep several of these in my bag.. makes it simple and the tool work is already done.

Pull tabs on the loops can be made from other line and added to, or make the loops long and tie them into the setup using the ends of the loops. Either way works. The only set to be fairly accurate with is the 120's if you plan on flying with others. Everything else is fair game ......

Now you know why I think the $4.00 I gave Kites and Fun Things was money well spent LOL.

Hey all! Up for grabs is a Prism Quantum. It’s Prism’s most popular sport kite, so I probably don’t need to say too much about it. This was my first quality sport kite and I recently got it in my head that it would be cool to stack a few of them. I got a couple more on Craigslist but just a two stack scared the crap out of me the first time I tried it! I’m giving one away so I don’t kill myself and I’ll look for something smaller to stack. This one has some dirt on it, but no holes and in good condition overall. To enter, reply here with "I'm in." Numbers will be assigned in order of entry, and the Random Number Generator will choose a number. Good luck. IN so far: @LookuPLars @jeepinjeepin @dragonfish @SurfCityVortices @T in WI Drawing on July 30th! == Some rules and guidelines: Don’t play unless you’re willing to put up a prize and ship it to whoever wins.  Shipping is paid by the original poster, the winner pays nothing. Be prepared to ship your prize anywhere in the lower 48 US States. Sorry, but due to shipping costs, we really have to limit this to the lower 48 US States. RULE CHANGE (7/31/2014): Members from Canada, Alaska, and Hawaii are welcome to enter the Karma drawings provided they are willing to pay half of the Karma prize shipping cost. The method and timing of the payment will be agreed upon between the two parties after the drawing for a particular prize.  You can choose the length of the giveaway, but keep it between 1 and 2 weeks.  Try to ship the prize promptly. You should be able to ship it within a week, but if you can’t, PM the winner and let them know. Sometimes life gets in the way! This whole thing works on the honor system so if there are any problems shipping or receiving a prize, it needs to be worked out between the two parties. Don’t forget…Karma!  This isn’t a competition, but feel free to be generous! If you can only put up a hat, or a tail for a stunt kite, great! If you have something in your kite bag that you never fly and would be willing to ship, that’s great too. Either way, the people that join to win it will appreciate it. When you receive your prize, post a thank you to the thread where you won it. The thread will be locked after that point so the new **KARMA** stays above it.

Hello again, it is this time of the year again and I’ll be back in Sidmouth, UK. OK it is another long shot, but I feel silly if I at least don’t try as I did last year ( https://kitelife.com/forum/topic/7529-europe-uk-flyers/?do=findComment&comment=65139 ). Posted in KL and FA: I’ll be in Sidmouth (in the SE part of Devon, UK) for two weeks starting Sunday 22nd of July. If anyone would happen to be in the area and/or know a good field within an hours bus trip from there (I have no access to a car during the period) and like to share the sky and kite knowledge, please let me know. I have done a fair amount of kite practice there on previous visits, but access to beaches/fields is a bit wind, people, tide and cow dependent, especially when not using short lines. But hey, it is a beautiful village/surroundings. And nope, I’ll miss out (going home when it starts) on the nearby Exmouth kite festival. For some years I have been doing DLKs (yes (with a decent success rate): axels, landings, card flips, sleeping beauty (if the ground and wind is OK), 540, axel cascade, lazy susans, FA to fade…; learning: flick flacks; no (way José): comets, back spins, taz machine…). A year ago I started with Revs and have for the last year (winter and summer) been doing Revs (B-series “no”/mid/full vent and recently a Rev Indoor) 75% of the time (and Smithi Pro quad). The reason for the large share of the Rev was to be prepared for NKM ( http://kites.aerialis.no/memories-from-the-nkm18/ ) and now because I’m going to the John Barresi Danish quad clinic in Copenhagen in September.

Or, you could just skip the sleeving and about an hour and a half of agony, which, once you've sleeved a few sets is only 30 minutes of agony. But you can skip it all by skipping the sleeves. Just remember that the flying line is no longer protected by the sleeving or as easily handled when it's cold out so take appropriate action to compensate for these characteristics.

Kite Shoppe uses LPG bridle line and pulls out the core to make sleeves. You can make those short sets with no sleeves, just add a knot to the loop for undoing a larkshead. I use an old Shanti Spleever for sleeving. A guitar high "E" string works too. Just fold it in half and away you go! Others have used floral wire!

Awesome looking kite ive been wanting one of these for awhile now so im in please Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app
