makatakam Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Black with red tips, or red with black tips? Half black and half red? Half black and half red with contrasting black and red tips? Black on the front and red on . . . . ? The devil makes me do it. That's my line and I'm stickin' to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that. John? Aha, it's a two kite prize? Or one red tip and one lime tip? This is going to be fun, because annoying the heck out of John is, well, lots of fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exult Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Really, I’m quite eager to get this one, to close the circle. I started out years ago with the conviction: -”Naah, QLKs are for others - I’m a DLKer only”. OK, tried QLKs and “got stuck” there for soon three years now, but for a long time thought that zero wind was not for mortals. Then I got properly started with indoor/zero wind piloting about half a year ago, still sticking to QLKs. While keeping a zero/low wind focus (the available nearby parking makes this kind of a natural choice) a return to DLKs could be through the Kaiju (which will obviously arrive here in Northern Europe any time soon b.t.w. 🙂 ). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, congrats to #1464 / @frob - now you can fly your other Kaiju all the more aggressively.

frob Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 YAY!!! I can't believe it. You can be sure I'll feel more comfortable flying it outdoors now, and be a little less afraid of finding it's limits. I won't be flying with reckless abandon, but on light wind days I'll feel less risk. I wonder if I can make a stack of them for indoor? THANK YOU so much!

frob Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 The new Kaiju has certainly seen workouts outside, about eight hours over the month when winds were otherwise low. Not just me flying, I also handed it over to three others who struggled to fly those days. I sadly didn't get video, I've had both the red/black and blue/white up together, including today with a daughter. (Still keeping the green as an indoor only kite.) She was sad at first with the light wind and said she preferred quads, but after an hour she was more confident than ever. There were a few times the breeze would not support her kite the way she flew, but on 40 foot lines I had a blast. I have had spars pop out with breezes around 10 MPH and after hard landings, but so far everything is still intact. It seems far less fragile than it felt before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted June 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 10 mph is way beyond its designed range, but I am glad to hear its been treating you well. 😘 Probably good the spars popped out, might have saved a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
