  1. vinyl cap's opening rim can snagging a line, but shake handle will make line slipped off why not leave caps off ?
  2. this is my handles I modified ... oh one more thing ... I modified it again ... shorter by cutting off ends about 1" off ... I never got a snag yet ... I LOVE IT !!!
  3. first time that I see the mid-vent kite flying that full sail man nice hovering, 1.5 Rev.
  4. there are some suggestions & few questions ... ... hopefully all of these are very useful ideas and quick references
  5. There are links about TSA and kites etc ... but extremely outdated ... ... 9/11, ISIS, etc etc has increased the security SO TIGHT ... I don't want to lose my kites and have them keep them forever !!! We may be going to Kite Festival and stay in that area for a week at the end of June 2016 ... I can't wait to fly it at the beach. ... is all kites & accessories legally safe thru airport to airport in the USA in the year of Spring/Summer 2016 ? Kites, Handles, Strings & Sleeves should be ok ? ... but no tools (like scissor, stakes. lighter etc are probably will be taken away at airport, will leave those at home) What if they say "no carbon fiber rods" on the aircraft ? I thought about using PVC, but it will definitely raise the heat, because it may looks like a "Airplane 2: The Sequel (7/10) Movie CLIP - Not A Buh, A Bomb (1982)" I like the clear tube better than solid tube as a carry-on bag ... so, it won't looks like a Buh ... Is it much better and much safer to mailing those kites to hotel and send it back home for lesser price (not breaking the rods and signature) ? What do I need to know about flying kites at the beach ? ... I don't want to break the rules I would like to know the "whole nine yards" about all those ... Thanks.
  6. those links are outdated (due upgraded) ... copy link then paste on another tab/browser, then replace .com with .net ... it works.
  7. just add /forum to it ... http://www.revkites.net/forum/
  8. that is where I fly my kite most of the time ... inland. turbulence, 190 degree, yo-yo wind ... all in one ... on nearly every 3rd windy day ... take me there, I handle it ... I can not picture myself flying my Rev in a purest consistence windspeed, straightest line wind on a beach ... my kite will probably be more still-er than still, when hovering ... LOL hardest I ever fly is flying a Rev and walking across under the very low twin spaced out highway bridges ... like only 1 time success out of 50 tries ... LOL ... of course, on a 50 ft line. Sorry that I hijacked it ... because I am still fighting against turbulence wind
  9. I have been eyeing on kite festival events and still too far ... but you can go there (link) if it's in your time frame ... good luck and have fun ... fly a few for me http://www.kittyhawk.com/events/khk-announces-lineup-2016-events/
  10. that was good one ... except that wide/fisheye len, ugh ... can do you another one like this without the wide/fisheye len, please ? Thanks.
    Quite hard to get it right ... this is harder to keep it in a straight line, not a scribble line ... (laughing) If you think straight line traveling bicycle is easy to do ... ... then it is time to upping your skills Do traveling bicycle in a circle, triangle, square, star or octagon line (formation)
  11. (laughing) yup same here to eBrook Congrats eBrook !!! Wayne Dowler I am joining your club ... the unwinnable club
  12. Banter ... thanks for the new word, Wayne ... good luck winning your kite
  13. whoever wins this kite and I am very happy with it ... because this topic is the best topic I have read so far ... so, many laughs and bickering in a fun-iest way p.s. and this "Current Drawings" probably got the biggest pages as well ?
  14. I'll cheer for yours, too ... GO 5 - 9 - 0 but sadly, it still won't help either
  15. I will show that kite that I have patience and deserve that kite (laughing)
  16. makatakam, what you just said as in definition language is great ... ... I like this alot ... never knew how to say it right ... and please feel free to add more tricks & definitions for those words there ... http://kitelife.com/forum/topic/6743-a-list-of-individual-trick-name-name-of-movementpath/
  17. Patience and patented "Mine" is the key to win this kite ... I am a definitely RNG here !!! RNG = Really Nice Guy how do I know what is my number ?
