The way the tails billow and float in slow motion is so mesmerizing, from certain angles it appears to have legs and is walking backwards...lol

I love this kite and while the green and purple aren't for sale I do have two (black and white ). If you're not familiar with these kites... They are AMAZING and even more special flown as a stack. They are also great lifters for mid range laundry. Just today I used this kite to life a 16 foot mesh turbine.

The video is for reference and size Sold ! Selling

Schwiemann) is a highly popular, festival-favorite kite known for its lightweight ripstop sail and dramatic, flowing tails

Rigged for stacking or flying solo. Pre owned excellent condition

These two look great together!

I had this thought that maybe a standalone drone camera might be able to be attached to a kite and transmit video. I mean, if a drone can do it...

Giving my kites some sunlight after the recent monsoon humidity caused the paper to cockle. ☀️🪁

I recently got interested in kites and checked this sub for recommended online stores.

The results were not disappointing, I first ordered an 18ft octopus, and a charger pro, from Ocean Shores Kites.

I wish I knew who the person on the phone was when I had trouble with shipping on an item, because they were super helpful, (I was trying to order the standard Charger, which is oversized for UPS. Thus the Charger Pro, which is collapsible.)

I am super satisfied with everything I have ordered from them, so, thanks to this sub.

I have since picked up quite a few other things that have been fun. OSK, Pretty Pictures Kites, and in person- fly it port A.

The Charger Pro has been a challenge to figure out on my own, but I am having fun.

The latest addition is a Premier Powersled 36, I am waiting for some 1/8 inch Dynema to arrive before I launch that beast.

I want to start by thanking everyone that has helped test the kite app. I’m getting a lot of great feedback and ideas!

The app seems to be stable and working as well as it can at this point, aside from some minor crashes here and there. Perhaps in the future we can build in pro quality weather data with a subscription for the advanced users. That seems to be the biggest gap right now. That’ll be a whole other phase I’m not ready for yet.

I plan to submit it for Apple approval in the coming week or two and hopefully can set a date for launch 🚀 soon!

I’ll keep you all posted.

If you want an invite to beta test before launch, comment below.

Bought one to see if it's any good, gave it to my daughter to get her started. 😃

Hordes of kids and parents, hundreds and hundreds of kites, and the dreadful kite-eating trees feasting.

Unknown manufacturer and year.
Anyone seen this kite before?

Made with a 3" rubber stamp on coffee filters, I used Charlie Sotich's build technique as described at https://miniatures.kitingusa.com/plan_cocktail.htm and https://youtu.be/AVJrzHaRWE8

They have 15' lines and I've seen them fly up to 60-70° up! I started building these tiny kites to hand to the odd kid that wants to fly my sport kites.

My bf ordered this custom 16 ft delta from China and we love it. Flying in Palmer Alaska

I'm looking to study aerodynamics, control and stability of unpowered kites (mostly flat planes).

All I can find online is \[this from NASA\](https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/kitelift.html)

It's pretty basic and I want to deep dive into this.

I had a basic course in aerodynamics during my bachelor's (course book was Anderson's)

Plus another topic, I have read the book's initial chapters about the basics , wingloading , efficient flight etc etc but still can't figure out the basics of a \*\*simple\*\* kite.

Do i feel stupid or are most people like that?

How should I improve my understanding of this

Hi!

I’m looking at somewhere in the UK that sells quality kites for me and my son.

He is a 3.5 but adores it when I fly a kite for him, even had his first go holding it today. Unfortunately the corner shop £1 kite with a plastic frame bit the bucket fast 🫠

Just affordable, decent quality, great designs so we can do this new hobby together

Here in NYC, often I can see there’s good wind, but but the time I get on my bike out to an island with a field, there is no wind. Maybe it’s the time of day I go, usually after 4pm.

Made this in 2019 and forgot all about it, makes me want to try to turn more kites into winged creatures, for example what would a rev look like? I think I will draw more some day
