    dang sir, some beautiful wings.
  3. Very nice kites. I really like the variety.
  4. @LookuPLars hey its t. I used to use an old fish scale i had to stretch out even new linesets. I'd usually set 'em out in the afternoon and leave them overnight. More often than not I wouldn't have to touch them again. BTW I went out this afternoon it was nice.

    New Kite

    After flying at the beach be sure to rinse your sail the salt can be harmful.

    New Kite

    I wouldn't worry about it. I would however release the stand offs though, don't wanna leave any tension in the sail.
  10. @Lookuplars Where in vegas are you? I'm in vegas also. Theres a small group of pilots that gather at the silverbowl on fri nights. With all the spares i have lying around we should have your baby up in no time. I'll dm all my info.
  11. @makatakam I can relate, one of my favorite spots is right across the street from an international airport. With a good pair of binoculars I can see the facial expressions of the air traffic controllers. However i'm usually more concerned with the drivers on the road. Any road for that matter.
  12. persistence, and creativity... i flew on the roof of building the other day.
  13. After consulting with the oracle."I see erratic vegas winds in the future of that prize pack." Her words, not mine... sounds reasonable right?
  14. Wow, those are awesome, and the only kind of shirts (performance) I wear. I first tried one, must be 20yrs ago, to this day still the only material I like. Come home to daddy my little babies!
  15. Snagged my new kaiju (#48) from the mail yesterday. Of course the wind will be howling for the next few days ...
  16. I like the idea of a 5 piece le, wouldn't that give you a rod center at the highest stress point? Or am i waaay off ...
  17. I hear you@SparkieRob, (even from far far down under) I've been looking for a few light sets for years, with varying degrees of success. Still have flashbacks on these ...
  18. Very nice sir ... Definitely inspiring!
  19. @justin2kites You might try using a spare winder if you have any. If not, it would be easy to cut an 8-9 inch length of pvc. Thats what i used to do.

  21. i need to get the batten rods for my 1st big wing!
  22. For myself I will use 13' handles on most days, like a standard setup. If the winds are light (0-5) then I go with 15' handles for more throw. Conversely if the winds are up say 15+ I'll go to the 11' handles giving me a tad more stability, it keeps the kite from getting away from me, allowing for more control. My thoughts anyway. I'm curious to hear thoughts on this.
  23. Ooo christmas day too no less! I'll be with family when the rng sings out my #....
  24. Awesome! Thanks for the info, and the links.
