As far as new flyer goes..... Typically the 1.5 sle was the "go to" for beginners due to the SLE rods being relentlessly durable. At least that's what I learned on and still have a couple for loaning to beginners. That kite you have(B-Series) was considered the best of the best for flying. I have a full set and love them. Don't sell it!!

That is a Rev. B series full vent. Made for higher winds. It goes.... Standard, Mid-vent then full vent.

Hmm....would've been nice to see them all lit up at night. I like my finger lights. Cheap or not, they work great and can be placed all over the kite with spars. Thanks for sharing 🤙

What are the Northern Lights you speak of? Pics? Links?

Each have mini batteries of their own. Go to Amazon and type in "finger lights"

Here's a single one

I bought these and love them. No crazy contraption to attach and add weight. Just small rubber bands to the spars and you're good to go.

I've heard of guy's putting full bags of kites to cover all wind ranges. Never heard of anyone having issues with heat damaging kites. Fly on🤙

I'd check out local pawn shops. Believe it or not, I've come across a few sets.

I have the same kite. It's a standard 1.5

Has anyone ever heard of or have done business with kiteworld.com out of Florida? I'm debating buying from them so wouldn't mind knowing if anyone else has. Thanks!

Lulu, don't remotely worry about asking questions. That's why we're here. To help. Believe me, I was right where you are right now. It was nerve wracking. So ask away and don't feel bad! Goofball 🙃🤣🤣

My apologies, it's been so long since I've seen the original setup that I've forgotten how they came. 🤣 So yeah, just add knots, make sure they're even then proceed to John's recommendations on his first response to this thread.

These are my handles. So I'd try and mimic the amount of knots then do what John Barresi suggested.

From the looks of those lines coming off the handle, I can almost guarantee there's where your problem lies!! Where in the world did you buy that setup???
