Hedgewarden Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I thought all kites have two lines. One to turn right, one to turn left. What else is there? Waiting with bated breath.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darin Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Sure, Tom. I'll send it right over... NOT! So does anyone know how to fly one of these "dual line" thingys? Can I connect four lines to it and fly it like a rev? -Darin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I got your info Darin, thanks! I leave for Louisiana at 5:30am tomorrow morning, back on Monday... Should be able to ship your kite next week, and as Theresa mentioned above, she's included a line set. Thanks for being a subscriber! == As for quadding it, possible but not really effective... However, I did land a dual line kite on a guy's head at Kite Party this year, true story. I was on one of John Chilese's kites and nailed a really solid fade in perfect wind, could control altitude, position, so sweet. Too damned funny as well. <grin> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darin Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Prize was shipped yesterday Darin (via Priority Mail), be sure to post a photo and your first impressions here! John, The kite arrived yesterday, safe and sound. I just opened it up and assembled it this morning. The kite looks GREAT! Unfortunately, I am not sure when I am going to have a chance to take it out on it's maiden voyage. Work is really crazy for me right now. At least in San Diego, good weather is not an issue... I will post photos when I get to fly it. (To get shots of it in flight, I will have to shoot photos while my daughter is flying it...) Thank you again for the kite and thank you to the Kite Shoppe too! -Darin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Our pleasure Darin, enjoy... Can't wait to hear about the maiden voyage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darin Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Well, it only took me a month and a half to finally fly the Cesium Access kite that I won. I haven't flown a dual line in a while and it was Prism Quantum. This kite is SO much better! There was very little wind today, but enough to keep the Cesium in the air for a little while. The Cesium is much smoother and less twitchy. In the low wind, it didn't turn fast, but it was super easy to control. I had my daughter with me to fly the kite for the first time while I shot some video. I got a chance to fly it a little later. She didn't want to stop flying it! Here's the video: http://www.fongphotography.org/videos/kitecesiumaccess/ Thank you again Kitelife Magazine!!! Now back to my Rev... -Darin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloo Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Sitting here with a big goofy grin on my face. I love watching kids enjoy kite flying. Specialy like those couple of "oh yea" moments. Thanks for posting the vid, glad you are enjoying the kite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
