Hengdakite Fan Posted July 25, 2019 Report Posted July 25, 2019 High, new to this site. I am an avid kite flyer, own a bunch of them and I write about them too. Catch Some Wind! I need to ask something of the members here, anyone know where I can acquire a kite that was sold some years ago? It is a big Yellow Guitar inflatable kite with a white windsock tail. The tail has musical notes on it. Rascal kites has it on their website, but I don't know those folks. Thanks. T Quote
Ca Ike Posted July 26, 2019 Report Posted July 26, 2019 Your talking about Martin Lester’s guitar kite. I think Into The Wind still sells them and other kite shops might have one laying around too so you have to search. Theresa Norelius would be a good person to contact as wellSent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app Quote

Hengdakite Fan Posted July 26, 2019 Author Report Posted July 26, 2019 It was a Martin Blias designed kite. Chris at Kitty Hawk Kites told me that it is no longer available at the retail level and has not been for some time. We also discussed the danger of the Rascal Kites site, it is an orphan that still takes money so be careful. I was given a good some money for my birthday to buy a sizable kite if I want it. Narrowing it down is hard. The guitar appealed to me for a particular purpose, I live in Galax Va and guitar picking is a very big thing around here, as is fiddle playing. Its too bad, but I will have to choose another eye catching single line kite. Something designed by George Peters maybe? I am partial to his large Hawk Moth Delta, which has a very good price, or a Hoffman kite. Any suggestions? Quote
Ca Ike Posted September 23, 2019 Report Posted September 23, 2019 There’s always the george peters Petersaur. Joel Schultz skybirds. Lots of options on Gomberg’s siteSent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app Quote
Ca Ike Posted September 23, 2019 Report Posted September 23, 2019 Btw the air guitar was made exclusively by new tech. You can try contacting Rob and see if they happen to have one hidden somewhere. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app Quote
Hengdakite Fan Posted September 23, 2019 Author Report Posted September 23, 2019 I contacted many people, Jim Nicholls who used to own one, Chris at Kitty Hawk Kites, Chris at HQ kites, Picture Pretty Kites and others. Not to be found anywhere, so I bought a few other kites instead. Maybe one day it will show up, but I doubt it. Quote
Hengdakite Fan Posted October 11, 2019 Author Report Posted October 11, 2019 Its on Rascalkites.com but no one is there, no replies to an email, but I bet you can still imput a charge card number and buy vaporware kites. Quote
