Hmmm....

FYI, no such thing as a "stupid question ". Ever!

More pics of the set up would be fantastic!!! My biggest concern is how stable / secure the spars connect to the kite. I've seen some not so great set ups.

I'm wondering about line choices too. I would think that the linesets for Rev would work just as well for the Fulcrum.

Look at the Fulcrum

Ok! So I've been checking out this new Fulcrum but yet to pull the trigger on purchasing just yet. Kinda just debating between it and other quads. Curious about anything other than the flat Rev's I have already. Anybody have one they can review or chat about? Have any other quads besides Rev or Fulcrum? If so, chime in and give some feedback. Thanks!

Hey Trip, how's that hurricane treating you down there???

I just looked up where you're at! You're right on the beach for crying out loud!! LOL!!! I think you should start a post on here and see who chimes in for your area. I'm sure you'd get some great pointers. Also, look into meetup.com and see if there's kiting groups through there too. Heck, try Craigslist too!!

Ah man. That's too bad. Ya know, we've all made our mistakes to get where we are today. I'm sure there's plenty members that can attest to that. The damage can be repaired very easily I'm sure. As for the birthday gift, I'm not here to preach to you but, I've never gotten rid of a birthday gift I received. There was some thought that was put into that process. Just sayin'. As for the wind, kiting isn't an everyday event unless you live on a beach and even then there's days where there's no wind or too much of it as well. As far as flying around people, pick a different place!!! Where abouts are you? Maybe look into a local flying group. I'm sure there's plenty in the area.

Wow! That was short lived.

Yyyyyyyep! I was right!!! Lifetime supply. LOL!

Look at what I got!! They even came with a hand held led light. A lot has happened before this thread started. Lol. I'm getting into SUP'S so I'll be able to use these for night paddles!! Woohooo!!

Here's the link... https://www.100candles.com/i-9558/Ultra-Violet-Submersible-LED-Light-UV-Black-Light

In the post I started regarding lights there's a light company that offers a UV(black light) version that I'm going to buy and use with this and a bunch of other kites at night.

Only thing left is a link for them LED auto strips to see if I should buy some of them too!

A pack of those with a pack of 120 finger lights and I'm certain I'll have a lifetime supply.

After a closer look at those submersible lights, it makes more sense to buy a pack of the RGB style and no remote since after all, can't fly a kite AND use the remote now can ya? Lol. Besides that, the RGB ones use a lighter battery (CR2032) rather than the AAA ones. They're also much cheaper AND change colors on their own. A 10 pack for less than 10 bucks? I'm in!!

Yes! Definitely check lines and equalize accordingly Now add a 75 foot tail to it!! You'll see...

So, to recap.... I've heard of the following: 1)finger lights (I know what they are and a good possibility ) 2)nite-ize (on the fence on these) 3)curious about the ones JB mentioned. Not likely due to adhering to kite. 4)LED'S with remote AND changing colors (I'm definitely interested in. The four pack looks like a great starter kit with remotes. Then add to the kit). Just not sure on the mounting part since I have zero desire for magic/sissy sticks. 5)automotive LED lights(love to see a link since doing a search came up with THOUSANDS of options). I can only IMAGINE the calls made. Especially if you use a kite that gets really high up!! LOL!! One of the videos shared had them on a foil and it was good hoax material for sure!! LOL!!!

Speaking of the Fulcrum, anybody know pricing on it?

That looked pretty cool. I wonder how many ufo calls are made because of those? LOL!

Velcro finger lights? Have a link to those?

You have pics of them set up on the kite by chance?

So far, you're the only one that has given me a good visual with the video. Heck, I would've been ok with pictures of it at night so I can see how lit up the kite gets with whatever lights you're using. Thanks for that! Maybe more will share similar.

Thanks. Drove 3hrs to get it. Met an older gentleman just outside of Ocean Shores
