Upnet Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 You got your first kite. When you could keep it flying and actually control it...somewhat. When pile driving it into the ground didn't happen so often. When you figured out where the edge of the window was? Remember? Well I can...because my wife and I flew for the first last Saturday and Sunday. We have a Cherry Bomb and are rank beginners. I think we are "hooked"...because she asked me to get the Prism DVD "Freestyle Pilot". We both realize we have to crawl...before we can walk. I still can't believe how much fun we had together last week end. Today is cloudy and rainy. She has already checked the forecast for the next couple of days. Sunday looks good. The last two flights... she was able to self launch. She was SO proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonycarl60 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 You will find the cherry bomb will serve you well for getting down the basics. Sounds like you need a least one more though:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box Boy Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I remember not long after figuring out how to fly my Skynasour (F36 ?) going to the beach, flying the kite to one side, waiting for a passing Seagual to fly within range and then going after it with the kite. Never managed to get close to a bird but I did get some strange reactions out of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloo Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Cool story Upnet, hope you find the DVD useful, ?I did, not that I am any good of course, just so I know when I am getting it wrong now. COOL picture Roisin, always wonder how young kids can see anything that close to the TV. Mostly all of em do it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloo Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Looks like he is a hardened drinker. Sharp dresser too. Likes his creature comforts. Not so sure about his taste in Toons. Jungle book would have been better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoneZ Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Right on UpNet. Glad you and the misses could get out to fly. I agree with tonycarl60 in that you'll need a 2nd bomber and do pairs flying. My first was a cherry bomb. I still have it -- still fly it -- still love it. I remember I couldnt freestyle with it for the longest time, then as I got other kites I found it more easy to pull off tricks on the ol bomber. Great kite. Im trying to train my Fiance with it now actually. Cheers and welcome to the group. ~Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
