Hello everyone does anyone know of a product you can apply that keeps the material on your kite looking vibrant crisp and clean before its first flight . I have a beautiful 35 foot White Bird still in its original bag it has some light colors my primary topic here is about white . I read someone put 303 aerospace protectant on kite material. However could this ultimately damage nylon or polyester materials or be damaging to the colors or ad weight that could interfere with it ability to fly properly or devalue the kite in anyway Any help would be appreciated

Hi Frob Thanks for responding to my post appreciated. Appears as though the red stitching on the side of the pocket is coming a part a bit and the material the pocket is made of is a little bit as well where it was origanlly stitched down . Question do you know if I could use something like Aqua seal FD to glue the pocket down where it has come apart, instead of trying to re stitch the area glue and weigh it down. Would a thin amount of glue applied with a toothpick do to hold it all back together and stop the stitching from continuing to come apart like new . Or could a small amount of glue disrupt the balance of the kite ? Old ITW kite perhapes the material they used for the pocket could have been better! but I like the kite and it was flying really nicely, hate to see it fall apart any additional input would be appreciated

Hi John Mainly just fly at the beach when I go or a park here and there, my guess no two kites are exactly alike slight difference in construction and design your comment your dragon Beauty kite slightly better flyer ! difference in balance of the kite perhaps, all this talk about dragon kites various posts I posted on here all started when I was looking for an old White Bird dragon, I think in simple terms they were the best ever made they even made really big dragon kites I believe up to 150 feet made right in Oregon amazing kites!! wish the owner would re release his patented licensed design, to some really reputable kite company George Peters I have the Prairie from his line of kites, does he still make and design kites do you know maybe he could make the twin tail dragon special order or was that design exclusive to ITW might not hurt to asked - David

Hi Jeepster360 Thanks for responding to my post appreciated,I have seen the Beauty for sale, my guess it was not as popular as the other two were. Thought about buying it however was concerned that the main color that makes up the kite the light yellow) would be susceptible to getting dirty? The cobra looking great loved the red and blue color patterns in the tail, ITW told me they have no current plans to produce more of that particular design, my guess it must have been the most intricate to produce, of the 3, however they did tell me they are going to do another run of the Beast, was quite popular from what a gather. Seeing you have two of these kites would you say the Beast looks far more spectular in the sky over the Beauty. Thanks David

Hello frob Thank you for responding to my post appreciated, yes WTB but not necessarily that specific kite, just that design aspect in a dragon kite . Like an old White Bird, ITW assured me that they have the very best in quality, and performance, in a dragon their Kirin line of kites, closest you will find to the design of an original White Bird, however only to found out that their line of Kirin dragons have been out of production ? So this has sent me looking again. Any help appreciated
