[B-Series STD Package (11/10/15)]

️️ 4 U 2 me a month early! Why wait on these sleepyheads?

Anxious with anticipation - I understand..............I suppose you just got a little carried away !

[B-Series STD Package (11/10/15)]

You West Coast dude, John! Get out of the sack and draw my number! It's almost 8 am in Texas!

Hate to tell you, but I think that is 11/10/15, NOT 10/10/15, Today is 10/10/15

B-Series STD Package (11/10/15)

[What do do in high wind?]

Ok, the hawk gets a little lazy on 300# unless the wind is really up.

I never flew it with more than 150#. Yes, I would imagine that 300# lines would be like dragging a 100' tube tail...........you don't need that much

[Hello from the new guy.]

Well welcome aboard, Glitch AKA Doc Martin AKA Marty, or whoever. You'll find a bunch of friendly people here, and an absolute TON of great information. Just ask, and you shall receive...............Welcome to Kitelife !

[B-Series STD Package (11/10/15)]

Oh great.............this is terrific, but I sure hope the RNG doesn't pick me ! (NOT)

[B-Series STD Package (11/10/15)]

WHAT WORKS??

Over the years, I tried the silent treatment, being a bit sarcastic, just generally bantering, yelling, posting a GIF telling it - my turn! So far??? Nil, nothing, nada!!

Wayne, you just got to ignore it....... don't let the RNGt get to you. He's smiling on you this time (NOT). Hey, I'm surely pulling for you (NOT), I mean, really, just kick back and forget about it. We'll all pull for you this time (NOT), and we all want you to win (NOT) ! Trust us !

[What do do in high wind?]

After breaking 3 sets of the yellow line (all 90#), including one quad set, I am becoming very un-impressed with it. Now to read that you broke 175# skybond, I am swearing it off, not buying anymore. Just like 50# lines, not flying it anymore...

Hey Rob, That Delta Hawk pulls like a bull dozier ! It's really amazing the pull it will give you, to be no larger than it is. Only 57" - 58" tip to tip ! Never had it to break a line though, and I've flown it in 25+ winds, straight off the ocean..........

[[SOLD] Premier Nighthawk (very good condition) RTF]

This is one great little dualie...(3/4 size).....It's one of the few that I'm hanging on to - I had several, and but I'm keeping one in the bag, just letting one go, for now.

Check it out.......[http://www.beersmith.com/kites/nighthawk.htm]

[[SOLD] Rev Quad Line Sets]

Only got one set left ! It's an 80' x 50# set, perfect for that new Rev B2........

[[SOLD] SLK Lines / Hoops (some new, some gently used)]

Ok, what happened to all you SLK guys ?

Everyone needs a few spare hoops of line - right ?

[[SOLD] Rev B-series 13" SS Handles]

Last set............I'll re-mod them snag-less, for $10 $5

This set is still in the plastic package, along with the B-series instruction manual, weights, and Rev DVD.

[Kitelife Website Problelms]

None today ! I knew you could do it..................

[Kitelife Website Problelms]

OH NO ! If John can't fix it, what will we do

[[SOLD] HQ Delta Hawk (like new condition)]

Got it! Wow, those lower spreaders aren't gonna pop out on their own. Maybe this hurricane will bring me some worthy wind.

Just don't lose them. They will come out, if you hit the ground going fast, and if you are flying a Delta Hawk, it's because the winds up, and you will be going fast (hence the RED)

[Kitelife Website Problelms]

Oh, I'm sure he knows how to deal with it. I'm a hardware guy, all my fixes involve the 'BIG HAMMER' theory...

Good one........"BIG HAMMER"

[Kitelife Website Problelms]

Sounds like the server may need a reboot... I've seen this on & off over the last week, too.

Hey Rob, the Master speaks..............get to JB, if you can, because I know you can speak his language, and explain what is going on ! All the rest of us know, is that something is "wrong"...........

[Kitelife Website Problelms]

He's just got back from a Detroit clinic, so it might be a while before he gets this!

He should get the emails............?

[Kitelife Website Problelms]

It seems to be getting worse. Just took me about 10 minutes to finally get on. Many tries, just to finally get on

Wonder what is going on. I hope Kitelife isn't getting ready to "crash and burn"

Come on, JB to the rescue !

[Kitelife Website Problelms]

That's what I'm getting. I emailed JB, but haven't heard back yet !

[Kitelife Website Problelms]

Anyone having any problems with the website. I keep getting error messages when I click on a different link, within the website, and sometimes, when I initially try to get onto the website. I've removed all Kitelife cookies, I've tried to access the website by simply typing in the "www.kitelife.com" address, vs using my bookmark, but it seems to make no difference.

Just wondering if anyone else was experiencing anything strange ?

[Need to rant?]

Very sorry..... won't happen again........sounds like a David Allen Coe song (I think this part was added by Joespickles)

It can't be a country song. There's nothing about momma, gettin' drunk, pickup trucks, trains, or prison.

Now, for all those (youngsters) out there, that don't have a clue what all that was about - "here's the skinny"

Actually, that "perfect" Country and Western song wasn't written by David Allen Coe, only sung by David. If you'll remember, and as is acknowledged in the song, David's friend, "Steve Goodman", wrote the song, and Steve indeed, thought that he had written the perfect Country and Western song, until he was promptly informed by David, that NO, he had NOT written the perfect Country and Western song, because he hadn't said anything about "momma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin' drunk". So, Steve sat down and wrote another verse to the song, including the aforementioned omitted items. Once complete, then and only then, did David admit that his friend, had indeed written, "the perfect Country and Western song", and he felt obliged to include it on his album, "Once Upon a Rhyme".

And all together now...........

"I was drunk, the day my mom, got out of prison

And I went, to pick'er up, in the rain

But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck

She got runned over by a damned ol' train"

And so goes the perfect Country and Western song...............(just in case anybody cared)

Oh, and my big rant - "Walking a quarter mile, up onto a big sand dune, on a blazing hot day in July, carefully opening and staking out out a brand new set of quad lines, carefully walking them out and attaching them to my Rev, then coming back back to the stake, and realizing that there was a big empty place, in my back pocket..........NO HANDLES "

Hey, what can I say, it happened a long time ago, and it hasn't happened again. One of those occurrences with a short learning curve !

[[SOLD] Prism Triad (like new condition)]

Such a pretty little kite............somebody take her home !

[[SOLD] Wala (Aerobe) by Flying Wings (like new condition) RTF]

Ralph must be out flying

[[SOLD] HQ Delta Hawk (like new condition)]

I shouldn't, but mark it sold. And actually, the line set I was thinking of is 175#x100', so that's even better.

OK............I'm marking if SOLD

PM sent.....

[[SOLD] HQ Delta Hawk (like new condition)]

What lines would you fly it on? 150#x100' good?

Yes, that would be the one. I've never used anything on the Delta Hawk, less than 150 lb test, and 100 foot is my favorite length...... This kite generates tremendous pull for such a small kite. It's really an amazing kite, and quite fast when the wind peaks 10 mph - hang on............
