Darkhouse Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 looking to put 4-5 diamond kites together, they are inexpensive diamonds once I get used to flying them I will buy a better made kite. Any idea how to attach them, seems like I cannot find the info anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--Pete Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I hate to see this remain unanswered. Diamonds are hard to "train" because the proper place to attach the train lines is not a good place to hook up to. People going for altitude records often tie a long leader from each intermediate kite to the main flight line, but this is not generally considered a train. If the intermediate kites are not actually flying (lifting), I have seen rigs where the main line just goes through at the intersection of the spars, with a larger top kite doing all the lifting. None of these seems to be what you are asking for, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkhouse Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 well my plan backfired anyways. I had 4 diamonds attached to each other with 50lb test between, a wind gust pulled 3 of 4 off and put them about 500yards out in the lake. wont be flying like that again. I do like diamonds for altitude flying I hate to see this remain unanswered. Diamonds are hard to "train" because the proper place to attach the train lines is not a good place to hook up to.
