Amexpmh Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Ok Karma fans, up for grabs is a two component offering. One of my latest stake holders and a Buka Fighter Kite. The stake holder is tan on OD green and is made to my new standard length and positioning. The Buka is one that I just completed. Light weight Mylar film is attached to carbon fiber rods for a nice, easy to fly fighter. I completed the project while chatting on KiteLife last night and took the project out for a tuning fly this evening. It is a very smooth flying design which is easy to steer. If you’ve never flown a fighter you will be in for a treat. These are simple single line kites which rig up in seconds. Many times we pull out fighters to fly when we first get to the field and more than once they have stayed out for hours because we have so much fun with them. Good luck, remember it’s “I’m in” to officially get in this Karma drawing which will be decided by the RNG. Standard Karma Note from the Moderators: This is a Karma Drawing. The winner of the drawing is expected to pay it forward by offering their own prize for the next drawing. Please do not enter unless you are willing to offer your own prize, preferably not the prize you just won. Drawings should be open for entry approximately 2 weeks, and the next drawing should be posted as soon as possible to keep the Karma rolling.These drawings are run by and for KiteLife members. The moderating team only ensures that your drawing post contains all of the pertinent information (drawing date/time, adequate prize description, drawing rules) before approval. If you are a KiteLife member from the US or Canada, you are eligible to enter. You do not have to be a paid subscriber. Members from Canada, Alaska, and Hawaii are welcome to enter the Karma drawings provided they are willing to pay half of the Karma prize shipping cost. The method and timing of the payment will be agreed upon between the two parties after the drawing for a particular prize. Here is the link to the original Rules and Guidelines thread: http://kitelife.com/forum/topic/5426-rules-and-guidelines-please-read/ The mechanism for the drawing itself is entirely at the discretion of the person offering the prize. In the past, entry number has been determined either by order of entry or by the post number in which the member declares entry into the drawing. The drawings have been performed using the RNG method (http://www.random.org/sequences/) or by choosing the numbers out of a hat (I believe an adorable daughter did the picking in that scenario). The only requirement is that the method of selection is clearly spelled out in the drawing post.Entry into the drawings is done by STARTING a post in the drawing thread with the entry phrase chosen by the drawing host (Traditionally "I'm in", but "I LIKE" has been used as well). In order to remove any confusion or misinterpretation, only entries with posts that START with the phrase will be considered. As with all other KiteLife drawings, bantering is encouraged. This is for fun after all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonfish Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Just picked up the package from the post office today. It got here last week, but I missed the delivery and wasn't able to go get it until today. Looking forward to giving the kite a fly this weekend if the winds cooperate. It looks like there's a bow line or something at the top of the kite? PM with questions coming your way, Marshall. Thank you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonfish Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Thanks everyone for the congratulations. Just in case you haven't noticed, I've already posted the next drawing 2 weeks ago, and it will be drawn today! So, if you want in on it, you have a few more hours to reply on that thread. For some reason, this one just hasn't been locked yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbailey49 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 It hadn't been locked because I'm a slacker. Locking this one now. On to Joanna's drawing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
