Oh go on I dare you ... Dirt Cheap Quad

Wed Apr 15, 2009 11:45 am

What do you reckon?

Will it fly?

Will it blend?

Is it worth it for some cheap handles? :-)

Looks like the Lidl kite - and (surprise, surprise) I have one. Let's just say it's 'interesting' to fly. It looks like it was made by someone who has heard about quad line kites but never actually seen one (or for that matter any kite)......

So in answer to the questions...

What do you reckon?
My thoughts are here: http://kitejan.me.uk/quad/lidlquad.htm

Will it fly?
Sort of.... Like a Rev? No. like a brick? No. Like a cheap kite? Yep.

Will it blend?
Assuming you mean 'bend' - well it's glass fibre spars so yes...

Is it worth it for some cheap handles?
No - seriously no! When I fly this again it will be on 'proper' handles -ones where bits don't fall off. Anyway Buy it Now for 19.99 - I'm tempted to sell mine on eBay since I only payed £6.99 for it.....

Seen these on ebay,got one of Lidl's;appear to be the same kite except for the colour scheme.
I have no Rev experience but this was twenty minutes of laughs on a very windy day.
Can't believe the ebay price.
If I could turn back time,Cher,I wouldn't bother.
