His web site is www.robertbrasingtonkites.com if you want to see his designs for the workshop.

Got my blue Fauchi out today for the first time. Kids at the park loved it had 20 kids all wanting to give him a cuddle. Works out to be about $250 for Peter Lynn including delivery. Wont fly on it own more of a 2mtr windsock. But sure get attention. Needs about a 2mtr lifter to get it into the air. Inflates fairly easily and deflates just as easy thanks to a zip on the tail. Has 2 attachment points one on the head and a bridle attachment point which needs to be pulled out at the front. Once up takes about 2mins to fill up then your all good. By a few to give a really great effect. But will need a bigger lifter to do this. Packs away in small suppled bag about the size of…

Someone mentioned these a while back on the Forums (a few years ago) but information was really limited. Then in a conversation with a forum member recently they popped up again, so after some reading and searching it looks like they've really extended their range and options over the years. They make a range of kites, not just quadline: http://www.freilein.net/ Here's some photos that I've salvaged from Oceanshoreskites.com as half the images aren't working on there Freilein Vertigo Missing: Steel, Hawksquad Freilein Vertigo Max Missing: Warm, Blue Vertigo Exodus Vertigo Exodus Mid Missing: Warm, Cool, …

Peter lynn has a new mini Dragon windsock out. 2mtrs high for $149US. For that price could afford to get a couple. Dont think they fly on their own but would look great under any largish lifter.

Hey guys, I just joined this awesome site today. I'v recently started getting experimental with making all types of stunt kites in my spare time and I went to the extreame and made 2 monsters. Iv always wanted a huge stunt kite with plenty of pull but couldn't find any on the market so thort is just make one. There pretty dangerous to fly as you could imagen having no depower but they are a blast but they handle really well and is just like flying a normal stunt kite just on a more extreame scale. Thort I might share a few photos and see what you guys think

I noticed Revkites shut down their public forums and changed their homepage today.. It's a shame.. I hope they'll reconsider. They've also decided to compete directly with their own retailers.. I realize it's probably bad form to talk about other forums but to have a manufacturer yank one away with no notice was kind of a lame move in my opinion.. Some of us don't do facebook and a lot of useful info is just GONE...

Hi there, i have been a weekend sports kite flyer for a couple of years now on and off, I have been using a "firestorm " twin line stunt kite which I understand is an entry level kite which has served me well . I am looking for some advice of where to go to next as I am unless to upgrade with a budget of around $150.00 ( possibly a tad more if I sweet talk the accountant) . I mainly fly at the beach and am reasonably proficient in basic moves like turn patterns and can stall at different heights and have enough skill not to bomb dive at 1000km an hour into the ground like my 16 yr old daughter did the other day ???, hence the reason for requiring a new kite. I live i…
