  5. Ah, in that case, here's one from the Secret Dad Society: DIY Kite Messenger Parachute Drop | Secret Dad Society It auto drops when it hits a plug. Here's one on kiteplans.org that uses a separate line to drop the payload: Drop Mechanism (kiteplans.org)
  6. Ah = true. It's a simple stopper on the line, then the bear slides up the line with the parachute pulling it. once it hits the stopper, it detatches the bear which parachutes down to the ground. I thought the "release it when it reaches the kite" meant dropping off the line, not sliding back down.
  7. Yeah, It's more of a "Track" than "Trick". But I'm more of a ballet & tails flyer than a tricker. Last time I tried to learn slack line tricks at the beach, I forgot to check the field behind me. I tripped backwards over a stump stuck out of the sand, rammed my sacrum into my L5 vertebrae and had to have a laminectomy. Kinda put me off slack line tricks... 😁

  9. I'm not familiar with festivals outside of Washington & Oregon, but the Teddy Bear Drop is a mainstay out here. I'll see if I can find out what the dropping mechanism is. check out the Washington State International Kite Festival page at SATURDAY - World Kite Museum (kitefestival.com) for the schedule with the Teddy Bear Drop listed. There's even a picture of one of the bears parachuting down...
  10. View Advert Matching Premier Trick and Track Sports Got these several years ago to practice dual ballet with a friend of mine. It never worked out, and they're just sitting in the closet unused. By matching, I mean they even have identical sticker-smudges on the right side of the sail! My guess is they were display models at some point. there is a small sail ding (pictured) on one kite, and another stain on one of the sails. My guess is these can be cleaned out, but I've just never bothered. Price is $75 individually, or $140 both, plus shipping in the US (USPS). Overseas shipping negotiable.
