  1. I figured I would list 1 kite at a time and when it sells I would list another. If I knew what people was looking for I would list it. Many of them are new or like new classics.
  2. This topic brings back memories! It was late spring of 1957 on my 6th birthday. I just blew out the candles on the cake then I started opening my presents. You always gotta save the biggest presents for last and open the soft ones first, soft ones are usually socks or underwear. I finally got to the long present and started ripping open the gift wrap paper. How was I to know the pretty gift wrap paper wasn't gift wrap? The kite wasn't gift wrapped! After the ol' man ripped me a new one, I think I wished I would have blown out the candles after I opened my presents! I still got to fly it but it was now a newspaper kite.
  3. In photobucket there is 4 different addresses to choose from, should I use the one that says IMG codes (for forum boards)?
  4. Now wait a minute while I try to digest this number thing,, Pete is 833, I'm 830, the latest is 872, I want that dentist in Tijuana!!
  5. My favorite kite shops are MacKites and Midwest Kite, but I pretty much wiped out their inventories, then there's Lollie my very favorite, but she's not a shop.
  6. Just wondering with these drawings how do I find my subscription number and does anyone win with 4 digit numbers, which i think i have?
  7. The way I see it with kite lines is I visit 2 forums, I read the words of other kite people then come up with my learned ideas, a friend and I mess with kites locally rarely fly together but together we pick up info from others here, I've seen 4 or 5 other people in my life flying revs or dual lines, i know wear and tear, but only make lines the way I can understand them from what I read here and there, 2 forums is good enough for me. I'll take a length of line, sleeve one end and hook it on a hook on the fence post, then pull it back, really pull it back, then I take the next piece of line and do the same, once the lines are stretched close enough for me I attach the 2 of them to my first kite a prism quantum, usually through 1 album of music, I'll take a break then make another set later, when I'm ready. Lastliy I will take the 4 lines and adjust them to length by tune of each line by plucking each of them because I'm me, I'm interested in rev kites. So here I am learning every day.
  8. Sounds like a few rolls would be in order and some math, all 4 lines need not come off of one roll all at once, I would think 2 120's and 3 80's could come off of a roll, and 2 120's and 1 80' could come from another roll, a set of dual lines here and there will work too. The remainder is cheaper than dental floss.
