andy666 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Haha, what a way to get the kite demo system running again I’m surprised though that it didn’t go straight to the water foil master lofty, aka @Northern Kites Australia mik333, Northern Kites Australia, bakersdozen and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Pic's or video needed as proof @.Joel if the person doing the nominating is not there to witness the flight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Kites Australia Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I too accept... what winds do you prefer me to try it on? The most I can handle is 17knots with the WF. Mind you, mine's been modded so not sure if it qualifies because quite frankly it flies pretty well now. pssst... it's why suddenly my account now magically works! Gee I wonder who could have fixed that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igeighty Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 lol, redsky, but if you did fly it, I would bet you make THE best video. I loved your blade video. the good doctor said that 'the best thing for a lower disc injury was stretching'. I can't wait to fly it at Kingston.

I look forward to bakersdozen Kingston video and your stretching session .:) I've always suffered with lower back pain but since taking a break from the buggy, I can't even sneeze or cough without bracing myself first. A lack of kiting has definitely made it worse. Trouble is, I don't do any other exercise either. Use it or lose it as they say. Hope you have a speedy recovery, a great Christmas and an even greater time at Kingston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy666 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Just hook in and fly the damn thing! You are on dry land with friends around to help. Worse case scenario is that you pull the safety and let the kite fly into the bushes. Then just pay Joel his $50 and leave the kite there mik333 and jeffnyc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mez Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Australia Day Domination! @igeighty flew the Peter Lynn 3.6m Waterfoil this afternoon at Kingston S.E and nominated @Chook who also dominated the skies. Videos to follow and next nomination. SoutherlyBuster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igeighty Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 The only thing I can say without going into a full review is ,,, how the heck did they get anywhere with this kite iloved the experience.

It generated a fair amount of pull in about 10 knots. A Fun kite to fly. It takes ages to inflate with its little Goatse inlets. @.Joel suggested bring your own leaf blower. Anyway after giving here a spin, I nominated @Chook who jumped to the task like a trooper. "It flys like a rev" After Chook had a blast, he nominated @The Duke. more to come ...... Thanks Joel. now I won't have a giant Cock for an avatar. mik333, Mez, .Joel and 3 others 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 It's only the 3.6!!! How lame. Try the 5.7 in 10 knots! (I can see I'll have to bring my 5.7 out to show you lot why it's the Death kite) And too much brake on the kite, let the brakes off a little. Let it run, it will produce more power.

Has @The Duke flown it yet? #keepingthefeedalive Ok here is the challenge for @The Duke, launch the Water Fall by having alll the lines wrapped around the handles, throw the kite in the air and let the lines unwind them selves, spin the kite around to untwist the lines as necessary and then fly off into the blue yonder. No kidding, I have seen him do it with other kites! Mez, Northern Kites Australia and igeighty 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
