  1. Thanks guys I took the ION out a few days ago and it flys really good.I think i need to spend some time adjusting the briddles to get a feel of the different tricks it can do.Are there any tutorials on briddle adjustments.
  2. Anyone know how I could get a copy of this dvd.Dont know how to go about it or if they even ship to South Africa.Could get it on e bay but dont know the shipping or the costing works.One guy told me its going to cost me like $400 to get it to SA.Is that true.
  3. M-LINE,so on the picture it shows the M LINE running from wingtip to center to wingtip but each one is too short to reach the center.Also ther is a small elastic type loop just slightly above each wingtip.What are those for.The instructions dont mention the m line or the loop and I need to fly can anybody help out.
  4. Ok after driving 2hrs I found and bought an ION made by RHOMBUS.Looks decent enough.It is 1.8meter and flys in 1-5 beaufort.There are no proper kite shops around so any PRISM kites or dvd's needs to be ordered but Im not sure if they ship to South Africa.This is my 1st proper kite and I dont know what the little strings are for in the bottom corners.could any body help the instructions are bad
  5. Has anyone checked out that link.The kite is called ICE and im looking for a good all round beginner freestyle kite.Dont know if thats a good choice.I heard that some kites do certain tricks easilly and do other tricks poorly.Im just looking for something in the middle.Any advise would be appreciated.Is the ICE a good choice.
  6. Its some CHEEPIE kite that I bought,but I didnt buy it with the intension of tricks.Theres no name to it all that it says on the bag is 6ft stunt kite.I might get this one over the weekend hopefully,or something similar.(http://www.hiflykites.co.za/kite-online-shop/stunt-kite-ice.htm).I think the IPOD thing is a good idea.
  7. It is a lot of fun practicing but a little frustrating lanching every few minutes because of crashing.
  8. Thanks guys.Stalls seam easy enough to learn but getting out of the stall is a bit difficult.I find myself running all over the show to get tension back in the lines and dont know if thats normal.Ive never actually seen anyone do stunts with a kite besides on some video clips and on those clips you never really see the hand and foot movements of the pilots.Also on all the videos there seems to be very little or no wind????As for an instructor,I dont think so.Theres only one kite shop that I know of and thats a 1h30min drive away.Im planning on buying FREESTYLE PILOT (DVD),has anyone found that helpfull.
  9. Hi I just bought a daul line 6ft delta kit.I just bought it for flying and had no idea that kites could pull off these manouver Ive seen on some of these video clips.Im a model plane 3D pilot so I really enjoy watching these kites and want to start learning but dont know where to start.How do I know whether the kite that I have could pull off some of these manouvers and what is the 1st trick I should learn.
