i think this is what your after. very good vids, he basically repeats the same moves over and over again for 2min or so. you get a really good sense of whats going on. http://www.youtube.com/user/DPmama74#play/uploads/23/VANxs3rZd5E

wow that totally makes sense! thanks for the slap, putting me in my right mind. alittle obsessed right now with the new hobby. hehe

its a premier jewel, spider series. 65" x 27" which is about the same height as i am. i was thinking of maybe changing all the rods and get closer to a "UL" type setup?

sorry if this is out of place, im new to this forum and kite flying in general. I was thinking of doing the same thing considering in have to get replacement rods anyway. ive had my kite for about 2 days with about 8 hrs of flight time and im loving every second of it thus far. First day out however i seemed to have misplaced my top spreader (a very common occurance as i understand) . I was thinking of getting some new 4mm carbon rods (thats what the frame is specified as on the tag) I was wondering of anybody has any experience with the pultruded carbon rods. And maybe a list of pros and cons of solid carbon rods vs pultruded, recommendations...any and all other info would be great! In the mean time ive been using wooden dowels from a craft store which are alright but very flimsy. thanks! o. this is what ive been looking at. http://www.goodwinds.com/merch/list.shtml?cat=carbon.pultrudedcarbon
