Most of you will be larfin yer t*ts off at THIS request - but here goes.....
started kiting last year after being left spellbound by the Palm Bay Kite weekend (Margate Kent) loved the revolution kites but decided not to go down that road,after all,Im a Kite virgin.... I took hundreds of pics,lots of real good display kites and the teams etc.
now......
Ive read all the bits I could find on the internet about tips etc,I know my lines are matched,Ive spent HOURS flying dual liners,I now have around 10 cheapo Delta kites(180 x 80) a 1.2 M powerkite ( )and recently a Dodd Gross Cherry Bomb,which I can launch,fly,circle,hover and pirouette - but then - I do NOT know how to land it! (or any other kite for that matter)the booklet says to " land kite by pulling on one line till kite drags along ground " or similar! Im NOT intent on wrecking spars Thanks! I tried many internet kite sites - and so far no 'basic' control has been found? its all 'lengthening bridles' axels, susans - and complete gobbledeegook to me!
so basically,can ANYONE tell me how to land a Delta kite on its tail end (or as upright as poss) or point me to a good site that shows videos/animations? (got the Reed one for comp stuff TY)
I live,and fly at Palm Bay,a regular kite site - but rarely meet other fliers - strange......
regards N thanks for any constructive replies,to those of you larfin up yer sleeves \/ LOL Max 0/
