West Australian Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 Hi all, I have had more than a dozen people describe the Plutz 3 and Mega Plutz 2013 Glider Kites as "Flying Art" I rarely get approched by onlookers when flying Dual lines. I have never been approached when I Fly Quad. Lots of people do come up when I fly Gliders though. I think it is because they are suprised to see a kite in the sky when there is little to no wind. 3 Quote
SHBKF Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 Yes, the Zero G gets more attention than I would have guessed. One comment was "It doesn't go very high" & "Looks like you barely saved it, over & over". But my favorite was "Seems like you're trying to lasso the wind". Quote
RobB Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 My Plutz-3 matches your blue one. It hangs from my living room ceiling. Much nicer than keeping it in the bag, and it's all ready setup, ready to fly if I get the urge to run out in the back yard & fly. Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 Rob - I'd be leery of leaving the kite assembled all the time!!! Might stretch the main sail out and I don't see any adjustments for that!! Quote
West Australian Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Posted May 17, 2013 Dayhiker: Well I always try to focus on the positive comments. When Doing Dual line Flic Flacs etc, I often had people telling me to put a tail on the kite to stabilze it. It is only a lack of understanding. I like the Lasso the wind comment. That sounds cool. Must86: The Pop Art P3's are awesome looking and awesome flyers. Would you agree? I plan on stacking my 2 at some stage. If it goes well I might get the Red one too and try a 3 stack.... Wayne is right. be careful about stretching the sail. The P3 is not easily re-tensioned. 2 Quote
West Australian Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Posted May 27, 2013 I had a chance to fly at a local park recently. It was a zero wind day, so out came the gliders. First up was the Blue Pop Art Plutz 3 (P3) Light and Playful, Quick turns and great Glides. Then the Purple Then the Big Daddy, The Mega Plutz 2013 (MP 2013) Bigger, Slower, More Graceful. This is an "In-Flight" shot... Just before it hit me in the face. Flying Art...... 3 Quote
