wasted youth Posted December 7, 2007 Report Posted December 7, 2007 i picked up this kite a couple of weeks ago and have not had a chance to fly it yet. it was between this kite and the prism 3d, i went with the tango because it has a bigger wingspan and seemed more stable. just wondering if anyone has any experiance with this kite that they would like to share. any tips i could use with this kite Quote
windofchange Posted December 7, 2007 Report Posted December 7, 2007 I have flown the HQ Shadow and the HQ Tattoo Zero but have not yet had a chance to fly the Tango. If it is anything like the Shadow or Tattoo you will be very pleased with it. I really have enjoyed both of those kites and highly recommend them. Let us know how it goes for you once you get the chance to fly it. Quote

wasted youth Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Posted December 11, 2007 im starting to think this is not a popular kite Quote
RobB Posted December 15, 2007 Report Posted December 15, 2007 Hey WY... .I have an HQ Floater, and I think it's similar to the Tango. It's not bad in little to no wind, although a little twitchy. I have been able to do LazySusans, Axels, Slides, etc. with it. It's a good kite for variable-no wind conditions, because it doesn't seem like it will break easily in an unexpected gust. I got a NikNak more recently, and have been flying that more when there's little wind. I would get the HQ kite out though, if there was any hint of unpredictibleness in the wind. The NIKNAK is not built for abuse... ~Rob. Quote
wasted youth Posted December 15, 2007 Author Report Posted December 15, 2007 thank you for the info. i was going to get the 3d but this kite seemed to site me better. it has a bigger wind window and does not seam as fragile. its bigger wing span means it slower than the 3d also; which means it will be easier for me to control in light winds.

RobB Posted December 16, 2007 Report Posted December 16, 2007 Hey WY... I agree that the HQ is going to be more durable, but I've found that any light wind kite is a little twitchy. It's just something to get used to, and it helps to tune your skills for your regular kites, too. I thought that the NikNak would be a lot less twitchy than the HQ, being that it had a much larger wing span, but not so. I have learned to fly them both reasonably well, it sure beats packing up and going home when the wind dies. I also use a kite with a 10 ft. wingspan for light wind. It just floats around in 2 mph wind on light lines. Super fun, and not twitchy at all. I don't know what kind of lines your HQ came with, but I use 50# 75' lines with mine. I've tried 50' but I thought they were just too short. Have fun... ~Rob. Quote
