  1. Some clinic skills have no flying time attached to them but are so invaluable to a complete flyers toolbox. Thank you John Barresi Riff and others for a complete clinic experience!
  2. Lots of informed people on here with just about every kiting experience you can ask for. As with most of us we started just like you and now can’t go a couple days without flying something!

  8. I have a little larger china spinoff and for the money have been quite happy with it. No, it’s not the quality or has the appearance of a $2000 kite that I would like to own but for me and the grandkids it makes us happy. Depending on the wind speed you should likely go to at least 500# or 1000 in fifteen to twenty winds. These things have amazing pull as you will find out. Good stake with a backup in high winds for safety. Pull strap to help lower quickly if something goes wrong. Check out the SLK section here for more ideas to be sure your safe. I use a larks head knot to secure line and bridle. Another trick can be a piece of cardboard inside the mouth to help hold open in certain winds. Good luck and have fun!
