New Tech Kites

There is plenty to do flying in Wisconsin! check out gift of wings. com or find the Wisconsin Illinois kite club for event listings. When in doubt grab some friends and just go fly!

I love the flowing lines and the fact that is a pleasing change from some of the more geometric patterns you often find. The tribal design is a wonderful direction to go for a unique kite. When and or ...

My favorite kite hands down is my Lotus. I just had it up today for one world one sky and I got to put on my "grass skis". (grass stains) I have loved that kite since the first launch and I will fly t ...

goo gone might not be the best bet, it has some kind of oil in it and could stain your sail and make it obvious that you have been cleaning. Or leave some even bigger spots.

Well, I have gotten my hands on a rather dirty kite before and I cleaned it with dishsoap and an old toothbrush and that worked pretty good for me

If you are looking for something different try using the newtech wind art, tube tails or wind socks. I fly some larger kites and have had good luck with those. On a windy day they will slow down the k ...

always good to know that the hobby is getting out there one friend at a time

mine is the red and orange color pattern. I can't do much for tricks with it other than startle my friends with the pull of it. It isnt quite the setup for slackline tricks if that was what you were ...

you managed to get your hands on a new lotus? you lucky dog! (does he have any more?) well done. I have had much fun with mine. you are right it is the LOUDEST kite I own and the pull is fanta ...

hey that's a pretty novel idea! I havent gotten the swing of keeping it under controll in wind yet. any other pointers? I have a hard time keeping the air-yo horizontal at times. Is there anythin ...

thank you for all the consideration I am also greateful all the solid advice. It's always refreshing to hear about some of the more technical aspects of the kites and to learn some of the finer adj ...

Thanks much for the consideration. I await the day I get to fly the mirage I have had such fantastic luck with my kites and look forward to adding another to the harem. I love gathering a few ...

ah,big sigh. I'll just have to wait for the newtech version. I've already ordered mine from work.

I work at a hobby store Very Happy

and I have talked to our rep about it. In March there was a problem with the nose piece, in May they didnt know why we were still on backorder. I was hoping to have the newe ...

when if ever will the mirage come off of back order? I placed the order for mine in January and still no good news. I'm bummin wanting to play with a new toy I have a friend who orderd one too and ...

that simplifies the whole deal of trying to assemble the thing. I can have mine together now in about the same amount of time, it just took awhile to get the swing of it. So what do you do when there' ...

I don't know if this is going to do anybody any good but I found a good way to assemble the air-yo. After you get the frame together use clothes pins to hold the sail to the frame. I use about a dozen ...

the 28th annual motts kite festival is coming up again! The festival is being held in Miluakee Wisconsin Sat the 9th and Sun the 10th of September. check out Gift of wings. com for more details and di ...

Thank you for the information about the lotus. Like I said, I picked it up used and it came to me in the original packaging but I was trying to figure out when it was made and if anyone else had that ...

I have one that I purchased second hand and I know it's a discontinued kite. I was wondering if anyone else has one, or remembers when it was made and or discontinued. some of the best flying I have d ...
