W.frew Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I recently purchased some 24 inch diamond stacking kites from someone. These kites are from the rainbow kite company which is no longer in business. I am missing some nose pins and I that I cannot seem to find anywhere. The closest thing I've come is the Dyna kites. These kites have an aluminum frame and pretty spectacular I have eight of them but only three nose pins. Does anyone know where I can get these nose pins? And how much are these kites actually worth? Since this was made in the 80s and the owner died in 84 while trying to fly the worlds largest foil kite.

Materdaddy Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I'm just a newbie, so I don't have any advice other than posting pictures. I actually have a couple Dyna kites and might be able to tell you if the nose pins look the same. What about posting pictures with angles/sizes for the rods? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Materdaddy Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Wow, those are very different than the nose of the Dyna Flight Master kite I have. Good luck finding what you need! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GammoRay Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Looks like they could be easily made— a wire, vinyl tubing, and aluminum tubing. The hard part is locating the right size materials! Try http://www.onlinemetals.com/ or http://www.flymarketkites.com/. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyzakite Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Your local hardware store has the both tubing, the wire probably pops right out of the aluminum tubing. The steel wire = a wisk? thicker = fly swatter handle? thicker = an old bucket handle? Before you know it, you'll be seeing those 3 pieces you need in all kinds of things. And people are throwing those 3 pieces out on something every day, or giving it away, or at their yard sale cheap! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daougie Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Hi W.frew. Did you come up with a solution?Sent from my SM-G920W8 using KiteLife mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I know this is an old thread. Did you find you tips? I used to fly these very kites when I was a kid. Hoping to find some again. They were crazy fast. Also had wood framed stunt kites made by a local company in San Leandro Ca. Kites were called APACK. What a nice find for you. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
