Hey Nick Russel, I think you got a hit here with the kite folks, especially while you are talking kites........ You really should start your own topic, under the "Everything Else / Off Topic" section of the forum [ http://kitelife.com/forum/forum/35-off-topic/ ]. Maybe you could repost the link to your blog there, so we can all keep up with you, going forward. The reason I suggest this, is that once you receive your Karma kite (SuperSonic), and start your own Karma topic, this topic gets locked, and no more posting, replying, etc.......... I'm sure you've got a bag full of tales to tell............

Hmmmmmmm! But doesn't that mean you've got to win first

I know the feeling..............

Hey Michael, As Mark said, just fix it. These things happen to us all. Just take it apart and replace or fix, the parts that are damaged. Put it back together, and keep on "gettin-up". As I've mentioned before, "this isn't Rocket Science", just kites.............they're really not all that complicated.

Hey Nick, don't forget, whatever you put up, it doesn't have to be "new"..............This Karma thing, isn't suppose to create a burden on anyone, not even someone from "Anywhere", USA.............

Yep, but Wayne doesn't remember that...............

Hey Wayne, You just wait till the next drawing. You might be sending congrats to "ME"............. (or me to you) Heck, one of us has got to win, sooner or later (even though it's looking like later)

@ Marty @ Nick It's my understanding, that it doesn't have to be a "dualie", or a "quad", or even a kite, and it doesn't have to be new. It can be anything that pertains to kiting, or that could be used by a kite flier, such as a kite bag, sunglasses, hat, wind meter, line winders, or whatever. I think it's pretty much wide open. It's not the item, or the value, that counts. It's the Karma !

Well, I suppose you could substitute another B-Pro ! I don't think anyone would object :cat_lol:

I won, I won............Oh, I didn't win. That was Nick "RUSSEL"..... ....... Well, the RNG got the first name right, anyway. Enjoy that kite Nick. That's going to be one heck of an introduction, to the REV world! Welcome over to the "Dark Side"............... Oh, and congratulations (just a little bit)

That would be "DOS",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I still remember most of the commands, unfortunately, most of today's computers, don't have a clue!

This is a pretty "negative" attitude, that you are portraying here, Wayne. Sounds like you may have an ulterior motive, somewhere in the back of your mind. You weren't thinking that you might win, were you ????

OK, you're going to have to be a little bit more specific. Which "NICK" are you speaking to ????

Now, let's see, I've got my extra set of handles ready, with a new 100' x 150# LPG line set. Sounds like I'm ready for a SuperSonic, wouldn't you say

Yep, yep. That sounds pretty much like an "IN" to me............

So Joe, how's the new kite coming? Did you ever get it up ?

Hey Nick, No argument with any of the above, but remember, the bigger the kite, usually the easier it is to fly. Some people think that since they are beginning, "I'll just get this cute little kite"............. Don't, it will be too fast most of the time. Stick to your plan, and go with a full size kite.............I've never flown a Quantum, but I did learn on a Prism Fanatic (oldie but goodie). Great fun. If I was going to give you any other advice, just due to the complexity of the kite, the flight characteristics, the lines, etc, I think I'd learn to fly a dual line first, before moving to four lines. This will at least give you a good feel for kites, how they work, line management, etc, but when you do decide to go for four, definitely go with the Rev............... Good Luck..........you're going to like this "kiting stuff"................I can tell ! Best of luck..........nick

Sorry folks , but where should I send my mailing address ?

Who....................M E ?

I don't understand why all the bickering, back and forth, between Anywhere, USA & Oak Ridge, TN (?) You guys need to save your breath............the SuperSonic is coming to NE North Carolina - No doubt Now you guys just go on back to sleep :ani_sleep:

You're on your own, when it comes to dealing with the RNG.......... (basically, that's a NO)

No problem! Been there, done that ! :cat_lol:

I'll assume you meant "WRITE" OFF.............not "RIGHT" OFF But either way, point taken ! The Delta Hawk is one tough cookie !! The word TANK, comes to mind

Yep, I was in touch with them, via email this morning. They were down Friday, but back up and running as normal Monday. They didn't have any damage at the store, and none of the merchandise was damaged, however, there are a few employees, having to relocate, temporarily, due to flooded basements / apartments, etc. All in all, they are all ok............. Good deal..........
