you can't hotlink webshots - one of the drawbacks of using it. That said, I think it does a good job for a freebie site.

The sooner we're all working on the same page the better.

Yes, I know the original pics aren't on flickr, but they DAMN WELL SHOULD BE!

Hi Ross.

I bought a Gemini earlier this summer

. I find it really smooth and predictable in flight. Will fly fast or slow. Superb wind range. Plenty of time to set up tricks in the stall. Axels fast or slow, soft or aggressive. Single pop cascades. Flat lazy susans. I'm even starting to master fades and combination tricks. I find the kite gives you confidence to move on and experiment. It is robust. Have yet to break a spar even though I've been flying it at times in strong winds and on stony ground. I'm convinced. I would recommend it to anybody.

Woody,

Cool, nice to hear from you again !
I'll need to blag a shot of it from you but I know I'll just HAVE to buy one if I do!
Are you coming along to the Strathaven Balloon festival on 28th ? KCoS will be there: I joined but have not been to a meet since we met at Ayr !!!!

Ross,

I'm not planning to go to the balloon festival but may make it to a future KOS meet. Will keep you posted.

shoot, i had pc problems after starting this thread and lost my connection for a while and forgot all it, i feel i missed some good advice :-(

, still, i took it upon myself to buy a stranger, and am very pleased with it, although the wife is getting a little jealous

i am still thinking of a gem or the xtreme, but i,m gunnna wait for the spring till i spend any more on kites (spars for the stranger are getting expensive :lol:

)

If it's a standard Stranger then I thoroughly recommend changing to a single piece leading edge.
