  1. While searching, I found this great video of my kite stacked. Not to shabby considering they're only $30 a piece. I really like the way they fly in the stacked setup, each influenced by the other. http://youtu.be/2vLdKQAcO3A
  2. That's a beautiful kite. The DC's seem really nice. I've read they provide good lift and as you mentioned they're more stable. Maybe for my current 7' delta i should get the HQ 16' x 2" tube tail.
  3. Thanks again all! Fantastic real world advice. I took a look at my kite and discovered a factory loop right in the center. That's great, I thought there was only two at the tips. Thankfully she flies nice and true with the two factory installed tails on the wing tips. It was mentioned above that a tube tail would fly a little truer than the flat tails. From what I've gathered here I think a good next step would be a tube tail down the center somewhere in the rang of 25' to 50'. Quick edit. I found an HQ 34' x 5.5" tube tail in Rainbow. I think that just might be the good fit.
  4. Great stuff, love it. Good to know that at 100' they look they same. Good to know tubes create more drag (makes sense :0)) and need more wind. Sounds like a couple 25' flat tails would look nice while at the same time keeping within what would work well for this kite. Do tubes behave differently than flat tails, for a single line delta, applied in the fashion we're discussing?
  5. Sounds great! We currently have a 6' spinning windsock we have as laundry. I was hoping to run two 25' tube tails in place of the two 6' streamer tails that came with the kite. Sounds like we should be good with that. The picture above is our third time flying a kite. It was this past Sunday at the Newport Kite Festival. I had a blast :0)
  6. Single line, correct. Thank you for the advice

  8. Hi all, We have a 7' delta kite with two standard 6' tails. We would like to replace those with two tube tails and we are looking for advice concerning how long the tails should be.
