makatakam Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Join IKE, Illinois Kite Enthusiasts. You can borrow any of mine and most other member's anytime. Just go to ikeclub.org, and sign up. There are no club dues or any other cost to join, just people who enjoy flying kites. There are about 20 active members who live within 100 miles of Chicago, and many festivals and club flys throughout the year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Farlow Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I learned to fly on a Rev. loaned for the day by an IKE member. On two other occasions, when the wind was too strong for my standard Rev., IKE members loaned me vented kites. IKE people are great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swannie Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Take the handles of someone else's kite, that's my best advice. Most people will let you, and don't worry about breaking it. I can say with authority that they are very difficult to break. I'm not saying it can't be done, but I've done some amazingly awful things to my Rev's and have yet to break anything. If I see you at a local IKE fly you're welcome to take any of mine for a spin. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to make it out a whole bunch so far this year... :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
