I don't see a picture attached... Is it a Big Bang?

No problems Jan, as you can see I have moved it to the new Beginners Questions forum under single line... Thanks for allowing me to notice that the category was absent.

Nope, sorry... I don't have the foggiest on how to make the page retain inputted information. I run into the same issue now and then.

Only 12 days? Boy, it does seem WAY longer.

For the record, Wen is a 11 year old kite flying boy I met in Taiwan last September. Don't let these guys scare you Wen, they just like to make trouble.

AAAARGH! Kitelife email is shut down indefinitely... The email bomb has been non-stop for 3-4 weeks now, and all @kitelife.com addresses have been shut down until further notice. For the interim, anyone can reach me here - webmaster(at)kitelife.org

Our page is currently under development: http://www.tksmidair.com

Good to have you back Llama-dude! How was your trip to Hawaii?

A few of you had mentioned the problem, I just figured it out.

If your posts are showing an hour later than real time, go to "My Controls", then "Board Settings", and uncheck "Daylight Savings Time".

Okay, I'll bite... What do they say?

Boxers indeed, thank you very much!

Quastions are always welcome here, and some kite builders in our forum should reply soon with links to plans and such... Also, there is a specialized kite builder forum here that you might check out: http://www.kitebuilder.com/forums/index.php

Unfortunately no... I was hoping I would find footage of our 4-man team as well.

Of course! You and I did not get a chance to talk much or share the sky with our kites, but I clearly remember meeting you and your mother. You are 11 years old, is that right?

Yeah, I had the same thing happen with ONE sock... So I have one pair that it pink on one side and white on the other!

Sounds good Ron, I'll check with Cal before converting anything.

Hahahaha... Yeah right.

It's up to you... Try a range of 50 feet to 100 feet, see what you like. The shorter the lines, the faster the kite and less sky you have to fly across... But everything is more responsive, and better for tricks. The longer the lines, the slower the kite will seem and you'll have more sky to cover... Making it more ideal for flying shapes and executing precise manuevers. Always feel free to ask more questions, kite fliers are a chatty bunch.

Torsten... Check it out, I have added our old pairs routine already! Just look for 1994 Hawaii Challenge: http://www.kitelife.com/videos/index.htm

I agree with Progcraft's long vs short line comparison... Being a bit more "old school" or precise flier, I generally use 100 foot as my short lines and 110-120 feet for long lines... I think the majority of fliers these days however, play on 75-100 foot lines as a rule.

Kite? What kite?

I think you might be right... Bosley can't very well be seen with pink! Black, teal and yellow... That sounds awesome! Does it come with an autograph?

Here's the latest: The email bomb apparently started with a virus spread to various external computers, and at some point it picked up the kitelife.com domain out of someone's address book... The incoming emails have trickled down to 20 per hour, and may continue or renew until the virus is removed from all infected computers on the world wide web. We're still going to ride this out for a few more days and hope to see it subside very soon... Keep your fingers crossed, and hope that the virus does not open up again somewhere and begin this all over again. For the time being, you should feel free to reach me using either kitelife(at)hotmail(dot)com or my personal email barresij(at)comcast(dot)net until these issues are resolved. We are welcoming article submissions for issue 39 of Kitelife until November 20th, and will be releasing the new issue on December 1st.

Well, Bosley is still waiting on his Cody... What's the word Rick?
