1) Could I get someone to send me out some spar endcaps. I got an Angel's Play kite yesterday and the endcaps for the center spar were split (one was stuck in the spar pocket).

2) Also are the a ...

In my country, i can't find Yoyo stops, so i want to make yoyo stops. Would you please show me the structure of it? Thank you!

My current favorite is the Desire since it lets me fly when I have the time to do so, aka after work when the winds are dying.

Second the vote for the Desire. Didn't realized how much I missed it, ...

Can anyone who has a French Connection check how far out from the front (longer) portion of the spine the spine insert is supposed to extend?

Glue the ferrel in about half way Sam. A gap filling gl ...

Luckily for me it's just been windy windy windy windy here. Too windy for my desireUL. which is good cuz I'm still waiting for World Wind Kites to get back to me abou ...

Of course my french Connection showed up today with great winds BUT by the time I figured out where all those standoffs and such went The wind died and I got about 10 minutes of introduction ...

Just to add to the reactions on the Desire UL.

I have found a bit of weight on the two tips to be an aid in terms of some flat spin tricks. 540s and especially Slot Machines look great on this kit ...

Thanks for the response Chris.

Keep up the good work.

there is no need to glue them

Hmmf. I've lost a supposedly glued-on nock when a slightly-too-low ground-pass ripped it off.

A ground-sweep is originally what knocked the nock off. Not particu ...

Are most nocks glued to the leading edge spar or just pressure fit on (or does it vary based on the manufacturer)?
If you don't (or can't) collapse the leading edges, there is no need to glue them ...

Sam,
I also discovered the same thing at Lowes a few years ago, by accident. The rubber end caps I found here, are white, and there are three size in each plastic bag. They were only about $3 per ba ...

I believe most are glued on. It is too easy to lose parts that are not glued. To remove a nock, try using a flat head screw driver or a razor blade to sheer it off. To help prevent such an occurance, ...

If glued, is there any simple way to get it off in case you snap a nock tine doi ...

I just bought this kite today in montreal, quebec and it is really good looking. I have not tried it but will tomorrow.

Thanks Troy.... in a fit of OCD, I started labelling my linesets ( or rather their winders) when I realized I was accumulating a fair number of "floater" linesets.

What are the standard linesets that come with the Desire?

Sam

A little deflection is fine as it enhances a bit of the camber in the wings sail. You may need to use your better judgement here as it is hard to describe how much is too much.
