Guest LeeBB Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 So the Kymera Arrived Just Now. Got her all put together and ready. Looks really Nice. Thank You Into The Wind For A Perfect Transaction. Here is a picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LeeBB Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Was wondering if The Kymera Is Ok To Be left assembled and Hanging. Is there any Need To Break It Down, I’m with in walking distance from the Beach 300 yards probably, So I just Really Don’t think Breaking It Down and putting together over and over is Ideal. Please advise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LeeBB Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 I looked over and straighted The Briddle Out So that everything Is Now all completely even on Both sides. Took her outside on short 14ft chains no straps and messed around a bit in the yard , The Kymera Is Very Nice, I know That This Is My First Kite, But Wow, she shot straight over my head and was floating in very low winds, nice. Managed To Not Have any rough landings and everything went very Well. I’m very excited to be Involved In this Hobby, I’m very excited To Go Fly This weekend and I believe That There’s Going To Be a real connection to these DLK.

whtmtn Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 I wouldn't worry about it. I would however release the stand offs though, don't wanna leave any tension in the sail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whtmtn Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 After flying at the beach be sure to rinse your sail the salt can be harmful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LeeBB Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I have a Question, I’m Still Going over the bridal parts, how the lines are routed and the tie points on the upper spreader bar and the lower and the spine. I have a picture here of the left and right side bridal, the bridal piece that ties to the lower spine from both sides have a different placed knot, the knots are on a different piece of bridal serving also. The left side knot is on the parallel line to the spine, on the opposite side there’s no matching knot, but there is a knot same type but on the bridal serving that going to the top right spreader bar anchor point. So can someone tell me why these are different? Please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LeeBB Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Can anyone tell me what these are , There on both side leading edge spars? There below the upper spreader Bar about 6.5 inches below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breezin Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 They slide a long the line to help maintain stability. Pick the kite up by the tow points.Hold them with kite on it's back in the air. Look down and slide the 2 knots around. Don't undo anything.You'll start to get the idea behind the method.Doubt there is anything amiss . After doing that and you still think it's off others here will walk you thru it.There are different types of bridles and I still got quite a bit to learn on the how and why of the designs. How to make them is a art unto itself. Those are roll ups to catch your lines doing certain tricks. There are quite a few different types of those too. My Hydra has that type. Remember when flying in the cold snot is salty too LOL. Lived 3 blocks from the Gulf for 3 years. We loved it.It's going to be a little brutal at 1st. Crashing that beauty the 1st few times will put a twist in your gut. You may even start to think you should have got a lesser kite to pound at the start. Don't. It'll handle it. You have a advantage if your beach is sandy. If rocky go find some grass or clean field to start.When it breaks and it will, fix it. Knew I would have more than 1 kite. Waiting for parts after my 1st break was a huge motivator to say the least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LeeBB Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I do have Good thick sand, I’m having a parts pkg made up of the most venerable parts to fail upon crashing. The guys at the Kite shop are the best, it’s cheap also, they have all the parts for it. We can’t wait to get out this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LeeBB Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Ok I See How These work now. Thanks , The Kite Really Seems To Fly Great. Really Nice Looking, My Wife was quite Impressed. I’m Going To Pick Up another One Like It But Different Color Soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breezin Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Don't go out with high expectations. Go with SUPER high expectations. It might be best to look for something similar but flies different. Variety in the bag. Spice of life of life sorta thing. I have 3 standards that are very different but great flyers. Sky Dog Black Dog, Hydra and Widow Maker Pro. Premiers Widow ng, Wolf ng or Addiction Pro are my recommendations. Flying Wings soul brand new on Ebay for $150.00 shipped would be a great deal. Never flown one but good reviews.Silver Fox 2.5 or 2.3 are something to look at. On the gwtw forum a guy has a brand new 2.5 and a prism Hypnotist $110.00 each or both for $200.00. Trustworthy fella. Sold him 1 and bought 1 from him. Some really nice kites pop up there a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LeeBB Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 That’s A Great deal on those two kites, Into The Wind Has A Fox 2.5 right now that had a small repair. The Way It flew Today On two very short lines was very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breezin Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 So many kites it makes my head spin at times. In a good way though LOL. You'll here a lot about Revolution quad kites here. Few minutes ago guy posted on GWTW info and pic of a Rev duel line that were produced in the early 90's. Didn't know Rev made duels till today. They didn't make very many but that is a very nice looking kite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LeeBB Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 It just makes you want them all. Hey those flying wings on the bay, They look very nice. Do you know if 140 is a good deal for those Soul Stunt flying Wings, seems Like A good deal To Me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breezin Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 If it's the Soul. Would have got one if I didn't already have a Zephyr. That Sky Master is beautiful. Lately all my new kites have been showing up white. Don't mind though. There are some pretty mixed reviews on the Silver Fox UL.From what Iv'e read in that line of kites I'd get the Acrobatix UL over the Foxes but I don't really know.

Breezin Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Ah I'm a little slow sometimes. You might want to wait and fly that Sky Master before getting anything else. Iramos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LeeBB Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Ok, Wait on the Skymaster. Well I just Have the one Kymera, I’m going to buy a extra tho, I had A Prism E3 bought, But the eBay deal was no good, There kite didn’t match there listing, so I canceled . That Soul FW looks great, I Too love the White On The Kites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LeeBB Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Premier Widow Ng, I’m Just Not Connecting To Them Aesthetically, I don’t Zknow If It’s The Cameramen Bad Footwork or what. Maybe It’s the Black Red white Combo I’m Not Fond Of. I’m Sure They Look Much much Better In Person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breezin Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I'm saying Lams kites are so good it's hard for a lot of kites to measure up. Flying that might influence your next choices quite a lot. My 1st purchase was a E3 off ebay and it too fell apart.Think that was for the best. I liked the red, black, white combo. When I get another Addiction that's the color. Why they make a variety right .,Iv'e instantly connected with 2 kites. The Widow Maker Pro and the Tekken SUL that I flew for the 1st time today.

Guest LeeBB Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Wow Tekken, Yes Great Guy Lam Is, I spoke with Him and He Is wonderful to talk too, So much information it’s hard to take it all in. I’m definitely Buying One Of His Kites, Not exactly Sure Of the one yet , Tekken, transformers, or Skymaster, exactly that’s why there’s chocolate and vanilla, different strokes for different folks, makes the world go around.
