Super Sled in Tennessee Last week there were some fantastic clouds in Middle Tennessee.

Thanks. I plan to use the tail on it. I just couldn't pass it up for $40.

I just ordered the DFM tonight from GKites.

I pulled the trigger on The Sled this morning. -

Thanks for the insight. I won't be attaching large laundry immediately but I would like to eventually. I have some smaller koinoboiri that I plan to use for now. -

I think 300# is the conservative choice with the Double Delta Conyne. The kite, wooden winder, 2 transition tails and 500' of 300# line is $148. With the SuperSled, we're at $170 with the 25' tail I like. The difference is the tail pretty much. -

Do I need 300# line for the Supersled? I noticed they sell it with 170#. Unfortunately, I have 125# on hand but that may not be heavy enough. It's the cost of the line that starts to add up. -

I think I will give the gift card to my wife for her purchases and get something from Gomberg about the same amount. The Double Delta Conyne looks pretty good. -

Thanks for the suggestions. In the video of that one it looks a little fluttery. I have been pondering the Rocky Mountain Conyne also. In the videos, it's a very stable flyer. https://www.amazon.com/Into-Wind-Rocky-Mountain-Conyne/dp/B01N6AFT5K It should lift a GoPro or some smaller tails or line laundry according to the Jim Nicholls reviews. I've tried to find the Stratosphere Double Conyne on Amazon, but don't see it. -

They definitely do. Those are my preference. I don't believe they have any on Amazon right now. At this point, I am looking for something available from Amazon to spend my gift card. -

I received a $100 gift card to Amazon from my employer. I want to buy a kite. I hoped for a sled/lifter but after lots of searching don't see alot of candidates on Amazon. What do you think of the ITW Delta Conyne Kite? Unless I fund a better value for a large sized kite, I'll probably get it. Any suggestions?
-
Thanks. I decided 120# is probably pushing it with laundry and a tail. I just happened to have a brand new roll of 120#.

My local kite store has some nice affordable spinners that will work. Question about kite line: I have some 120# dacron line leftover from my fishing efforts. Will that work o.k. for kites?

Thanks for the suggestions. What line length are you using for the Super Sled?
