I still have atho's copy, as no one has yet claimed it. Clearly, it's available to be sent to the next person!

Avoid flying in high wind or you will kill your kite. When you can control the kite without thinking too much, then you can start to learn tricks.

The most important thing is to find a nice big open space to fly your kite closer to home. :D

Lower leading edge at the ferrule by any chance? It's a bit of a weak spot on the Jive especially if you get a tip wrap - I broke several when I started. In the end I converted it to one piece and I've had no further problems. If you work your way through the Flight School DVD you'll soon get the hang of it. At least spare spars are cheap! You want to try to meet up with other fliers if you can, they can usually give you a few tips.

I did the same thing the ferrule is a weak point, buy a spare length so when you out on the field you can fix it and continue to fly
