3D Nylon Kite: DC Sport 60 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We got both this kite and the next size smaller to start flying last fall. Probably the biggest issue we had was guaging the wind. What the novice flyer thinks is 5mph is really only 2-3mph, and that makes a huge difference in kites. Not that I suggest going out in a windstorm, however, wait for a breezy day before you start running your lines out. The sail is fairly forgiving, so in turn it takes more wind to fly than just a light breeze.
I haven't had a chance to get into tricks with it, but after flying on some mud flats, I'm pretty impressed with how the kite has held up. Its easy to put together and real similar in construction to the delta style kites. Just make sure to check the bridle knots after shipping, thats pretty standard. Also, if you'll be flying more than just a couple times, I definately recommend buying a set of real kite lines. 90lb/90ft is a good all-around set and you get to upgrade to some nifty straps instead of the winder handles.

HQ Kites Hydra Series 300 R2F Kite Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A Wonderful kite,
i gave it one star less because you really dont get any second chances for carelessness. I allowed my cousin to fly mine on the beach and unfortunately it crashed on the sand and got caught on a piece of driftwood and tore a little hole in the kite.. I eventually got it fixed with a kitefix kit(which worked great) . This kite is a joy to fly in the water as it pulls you all over the beach.The 3rd like makes it very easy to re launch. The only thing you have to remember is that you have to fly it in an area that has absolutely no driftwood or trash or rocks, the kite will tear very very easily if caught on anything, which should be common knowledge for kite fans

AeroPlane 3D Nylon Airplane Kite: P-51 Mustang by X-Kites Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The kite kept wanting to make a right turn into the ground. Tried adjusting the bridle loop and streamers and still same results. Wind speed may have been greater than 15 mph stated on package. It is made really well. If it would fly it would be great!

Frameless Parafoil: Spectrum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Our kids and grandkids fuly enjoyed this great flyer. Me too! Assembly was simple The string has a snap that snaps onto a string loop on the kite. The tails are already connected. That's it!Just hold the kite in the brezze and let out the string. The airfoil immediately fills with air and quckly climbs as high as you'd like (or have string for). It comes with a small pouch so when you're finished playing just roll the kite up and squeeze it in the little pouch. The best kite I've ever had.

Skyfoil™ Frameless Parafoil Kite: Lazer by X-Kites Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After having tried a multitude of kites already, some which I've reviewed and some which I haven't, I ended up on this particular kite after many wasted hours struggling to get continuous flight from kites in a more expensive bracket.
After opening the package and removing two rubber bands from the folded up streamer tail, I had this high in the air in less than thirty seconds. I was shocked at just how easy and simple this kite was to get going.
The kite also looks good in the air and as seeing kites in the air is more of an anomaly these days, several cars passing by all stopped to watch this thing whip around beautifully in the air.
The joy of flying a kite never ceases to amaze me and is a lot like meditation. If it's been awhile since you've flown one, I highly recommend this product.
The quality of the kite is sturdy, but I do recommend buying a 500 ft spool and maybe even a winder as the 120 feet of line that comes with it leaves you wanting to get it even higher. But 120 feet is enough for first time flyers.

Two (2) FlexWing Gliders: Dragon - 42 inch and 16 inch BONUS PACK Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The larger glider is the most fun (heavier - glides further).
Kids (8 & 13) and I have played with this a LOT since we got it mid-summer 2009. Great fun trying to optimise throw for longest glide, and to try to catch it as it glides past.
Find best launch strategy is to place first finger pressure at vertical surface at rear of body and to 'whip' it through.
Best in minimal (no) wind.
Take car not to play too close to a road!
A playful dog would enjoy this toy too much - so keep them away.
Handle the glider carefully and the play value will go on for a long time.
Educational Value:
Learn about flight dynamics by varying angle and force of launch.

One rod broke on initial assembly, but Customer Service was EXCELLENT, replacing it quickly without fuss or bother.
A rod sometimes pops out of the larger glider when the throw force is large (e.g. adult throw), or if it hits the ground heavily. Is easy to put back, however (by 8 yr old) and is no big deal.
Highly Recommended
