Hi All, I took a two videos of the routine made during the Kite festival at Berkeley last weekend (July 27th 28th 2019). I was under the field so the angle is a bit strange, but that was really cool! Here are the two links for the video (high quality no more compressed than what my phone did) : First video, closer angle Second video, from a bit further away

View Advert Solus UL I called Jon T. at Skyburner the other day looking for a Solus UL only to be told they're no longer making it, so my search begins. I'm looking for a Solus UL, colors aren't too important. Any help would be greatly appreciated! PM me here on Kitelife, email me at tplyler@yahoo.com or message me on https://m.me/tim.plyler.7 Thanks! Advertiser Tim P.

Been awhile since I had a NG but I was really pleased with mine. Took awhile but I could fly mine in 3 to 4 on 80# x 100" with no weights. Not well but it'd go up. It might be that the framing is off. Bad run of tubes having different weights? Whiskers off?LS and LE equal lengths?Long shot but it seems odd both of you have crappy kites. Flown 3 Addictions and 2 Nighthawks that have been identical to each other as far as I can tell. On my Tekken I'd adjust above and below 2 knots about 2mm apart. Couldn't fly below 3 hardly at all and quite often it'd fall below 3 with no glide. There's just enough room for the line between the knots. Haven't moved it since. No more problem and that's a pretty small adjustment.Wish I could say I figured it out but nope had to call Lam.NG is not that finely tuned and both of you know enough that a obvious bridle issue would get noticed pretty quick. Smaller bridle issues could be difficult to find. Have you tried switching bridles with Jacks kite?

Mamba, Nirvana and a few of the L'Atelier kites are used in team flying as well as tricking. Polyvalent is a word used a lot to describe kites like that in Europe. Kites oriented towards precision seem to be what you're after. French builders seem to have the most variety of team/trick kites .My BMK Mongoose is the only trick kite I have that I really enjoy flying patterns. Mamba from what I've read would be similar. L'Atelier kites has some serious pedigree(Mayet e.g.). Issue you might have other than cost is some of their kites are designed for long lines. Up to 157'. For the cost Level One Badass UL is worth a look.If I didn't have a Mongoose I'd have a Mamba for sure.
