JWharton Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Well I finally got a dog stake and I can say it is more than I expected, truly awesome 😎🤙 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exult Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 For how long did the control feel very wrong? Did returning to normal (non dog stake) control feel confusing? How long before you could do the most basic flying? Any point in gradually approaching the kite from the side over a couple of hours to gradually get used to dog stake type control? Was there anything unexpected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWharton Posted August 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 No no confusion returning to normal flight, but flying inverted on the dog stake confused my brain a bit with regards to side slides, there where a few ground bouncing moments, your brain seems to sort most of it out and the fun is off the scale😁 Bit of video from my first flight on Facebook another enjoyable journey coming up, https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=501783390269187&id=100013125912925 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Bell Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Where did you get the dog-stake and how long are your lines? Really good video for first time!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWharton Posted January 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Mikey Devereaux builds them, lines are 120ft. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I tried JB's at Long Beach on shorter lines (60'?), lots of fun. Didn't take too long to figure it out, but it is a bit weird having the kite in your face! But it opens up a bunch of new possibilities, interacting up close style with the kite. Mikey makes a real piece of art, using good quality parts, so it isn't cheap. But it is the best out there I've seen. JB and Mikey played with the design for quite a while, getting all the bugs worked out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
