Hi Stunt Kiters I have broken so many P200 lower spreaders on my E3 to the point where I want to get rid of it....and its always the same thing.....the tubing cracks at the centre T on the female spar. Prism acknowledges this fact. Does anyone know, or developed a solution to this frustrating problem ? Your help would be most appreciated Grazie Mille

HQ Jive 2 stunt kite. Excellent condition. It's had maybe 10hrs of use and had been sitting on a shelf for the last 5 yrs not being used. Perfect introduction to 2 line stunt kites. Comes with bag, instruction manual, extra tail weight, ground stake and 2 sets of lines. From memory both sets are 90lb lines, but different lengths. Let's say $75 including postage within Australia. SOLD

Hi everyone. Just wondering if anybody might have some spare parts for a stunt kite. On my 15y old Delta the middle "T" has broken. I have tried to glue it but without any luck. Please see photo. The "T" is for 6mm spars.

Kiting legend Peter Powell inventor of the steerable two line stunt kite has died. He once man-lifted a 70yr old granny named Mary Hardy 30ft into the air using 7 of his kites, he flew his kites over the Hudson River in New York for the national TV program 'Today' and had disastrous dealings with a Tokyo business man. I learnt of his passing while listening to an interview with his sons Paul and Mark on Radio 4 last Sunday. For anyone who might be interested here is that audio and if you're on Facebook an excellent video showing footage from the early days. The popularity of all types of multiple-line kite flying today can be attributed directly to Powell's development of a modern dual-line kite.

I'm in the development stage of making a dogstake to fly my kites through. Dogstake I hear you say. It's where you fly your kite with the strings looping around a pulley so you are facing the back of your kite. Like line bending but with a specific piece of kit. It's not a new concept, was first introduced by Lee Sedgewrick in the late '80s. I have been doing line bending using the soccer goals at the park across the road from my place. But looped around a pole is far from ideal. Hence the idea to make a dogstake. Or rather, to make up a set of pulleys to attach to a dogstake and use that. I got some pulleys that are pretty good but short of making the trek to a sail hardware wholesaler the D shackles have been a bit of a pain. I need the extra wide mouth to accommodate having 2 pulleys per shackle. Think I'll have to bunk out of work early and trek to Whitworths or bite the bullet and pay for delivery. Stay tuned.
