double check the handles size/length ... Are those both handle in exact same length ... one is smaller than other ... ... I have a pair like that by almost up to 3/4" shorter/longer and I did not even it out yet, but soon ... will do. Good price and good looking set ... sorry that I already got one

Rhombus Anum 7.2m (Sunset)
DeafThunder commented on DeafThunder's gallery image in Member's Galleries
When I saw this view while my father flying the Rhombus Anum 7.2m ... so beautiful ... I got to take a picture immediately ... 8th shot is perfect and now my mother, my aunt/uncle and my father wants that picture, so I sent them to their phone We had a good time flying kites as a family this afternoon. -
From the album: Rhombus Anum 7.2m

ok, guys ... we got a phone call connected ... it's all good and Wind Power Sports sold all of his stuff to OceanShoreKites.com , sadly no online shopping at OSK ... WPS just refunded my PayPal immediately ... Extremely kind and honest guy ... Thanks, Wind Power Sports !!! Beautiful website, though and not sure why is that website still up and running as normal ... Sparkie or Wayne ... Will you contact him on facebook and ask him "why is that website still up and running as normal ?" ? ... Thanks. Just bought oZone standard 4-lines 30m flying lines from AWindOfChange.com for my Rhombus Anum 7.2m from my Uncle's friend who broke his back (he is all good and fully recovery) with this kite with control bar and hardness at first try which is unexpected jerk-pull several years ago (he flow it once) ... he does not want it anymore ... so, my mother bought the "kite only" from him for total of $60 for me ... THANKS MOM !!! ... This kite with my old ozone little devil's 2 handles & lines (no control bar) flying power is AWESOME at 3 to 10 mph ... I was totally sweat (my shirt and pant too, even socks ... LOL) cause I flew it like 45 minutes straight ... then some more for the rest of the afternoon (temp was at 32F degrees) Here is a example of Rhombus Anum 7.2m kite video ... not me ... yet ... soon ... It did carrying me like this guy's 2nd jump ... very gently, yet powerful and excellent cardio workout

I laughed !!! ... same as it goes with this ... company stop making what people likes ... I still missed my favorite "discontinued" headset (i think it was 118 decibel) that I can hear without wearing my hearing aids ... I bought all 3 last one on eBay ... then I am out of luck after like in 2 years later

I am not talking about shook's "mesh" ... I meant ... use the shook's "weaved design" ripstop fabric, but in a half a size of that to replace all the mesh ... or ... replace the mesh for every other 1" space of 1" square of mylar/ripstop fabric, instead of mesh like I made an example ... every [x] is the fabric on the leading edge's section and as well for vented section like a shook design replace the vented mesh ... it's ok to say that is not a good idea or great idea with reasons ... see image below stapp59, you did a great job on those design and repairing as well ... I am impressed by your Revolution Kite Craftsmanship (your work)

Too much mish mash about mushy mesh = messy mulch!
DeafThunder replied to hyzakite's topic in Quad Heads
ha ... I just mentioned similiar like that Does it holds well (not ripping or splitting) ? Got some Zoomed out photos ?... that was awful close up photo ... I like it and are those punched square-holes ? -
Aerial videos of fortress, churches and landscapes
DeafThunder replied to AerialExplorer's topic in Off Topic
what amaze me is that I don't see any graffiti or vandal on those lonely castles ... it seems wide open for graffiti artist & vandals ... how are those protected from it ? scrubbing it off ? clean it up ? security guards or rabid dogs ? it would be nicer to see some kite flying over it or near it -
I agreed with this and speaking of leading edge mesh ... ...On regular B-Series ... It seems fly better/stronger when I blue masking tape over the leading edge mesh (partly or all mesh up to 15 mph wind) kinda like Power Blast. I kinda agreed that mesh doesn't seems very strong ... ... I have few tiny holes now. It is not like a tough wire mesh which is stronger than screen door Why not "those half-size weaved fabric" (shook?) those mesh instead ?

4 bike frame small LEDs (2 AA batteries each) are kinda heavy that making the kite hard to steer/control, but it's doable ... Monday, December 28, 2015 It was FUN and enjoyable to watch the night time kite flying at Phil Moore Park with my family ... (small-multi-directions & yo-yo 12-20 mph inland wind)

Is #200 thicker than #150 ? Is #150 is thicker than #90 ? Is laser pro differs from laser pro gold ? I just noticed lines is thicker than other for example ... sticker on winder said #90 but look at the line looks thicker than #200 ... how can identify this (for real) ? I may have to take photo of those lines and show you then you can decide from there ... need photos?

even harder when finger tips are frozen from the cold weather (no tab on loop) ... I thought that I got a good grip on it ... I did not ... missed too many times ... (laughing) ... finally got it off !!! ...
-
this ? start @ 1:19
-
DANG !!!!!!!!!!!! ... it is DOABLE !!! ... You got it on video ? even though, if it takes an hour to watch the whole thing Did you use the magnifying glass to see a lot closer to threading it ?
-
OK thanks.

Is this for broken string/line?
-
I figured shore wind is the best ... or salt land flat ... or the tornado alley ... Dirty wind ... if you using shore wind ... then swap with me for couple week 6 times a year

(laughing) I am surprised that my guess is correct on what you said ... I guess the final answer is NASA wind tunnel hey, I said that I don't want the rope ... I need heavy-duty CHAINS ... chain me to the floor I'll fly it ... LOL ... it still scares me (laughing wimpy) ... I will chose NASA's wind tunnel over toyko's sewer ... I definitely do not want to be in that sewer room (ran away). (laughing)

@SHBKF Does that helps alot to be "STILL" ?

@makatakam ... "The wind is steady at 9 miles per hour" ... that is ONE of the MAIN key to flying kite precisely ... maybe I guess I just need these to have a "STEADY" wind about that video I recognize the kite "RevPolo" ... extreme precise ... is this possible / true ? I feel like that I can get that precise, if i fly near beach or "100% consist one direction wind" location (if I can find one, maybe on the top of the mountain ...LOL) ... because I practice and fight SO HARD to hold it still while the wind and the direction is non-stop fluctuating baseball field recreation park and farmland all together ... 20 minutes to drive ... just don't feel like to go allllllllllllll the waaaaaaaaaaaaay over there ... I kept telling myself ... it will be WORTH IT ... it will be WORTH IT ... I probably go there on the next few days ... there is a closer (creek) recreational park 8 minutes to drive ... "trees" recreation park (same park where the photo of 4 kites) funny thing is ... (joking) I don't want to touch this mid-vent Revolution B-Series (is this right "Rev B" for short ?) ... I feel like I am flying like paper with dental floss ... (laughing) ... now I want a "full sail" B-Series with fiber glass reflector sticks for high wind ... Good grief at 15+ mph wind ... I LOVE THE BLAST 2-4 ... I gotta back off some and be equally with all 4 kites together ... flying Rev 1 with green race rods ... it's VERY NICE ... and springy, too ... it does acts like a Rev B

I kinda wish someone add "weather forecast and location" to the video I have to say that this video's weather must be very straight and steady uni-direction wind for a long period of time ... correct ? Unlikely like my weather which is full of yo-yo mutli-direction wind for bunch of short times (like inland like my place in bowling green ky) how long do you think this lines are ? ... I know that the short the lines, the less it stretches or bounces, another word ... extreme responsive ? :::answer is at the end:::

oh ... my bad ...
