Re: the newest snow kite from peter lynn

Thanks for posting the videos Carl - I'm anxious to get out and fly them and have a box with a couple of sizes sitting here but no snow around here yet and have been a little out of it for kiting the last couple of weeks but soon i hope.

Re: Source for Q-Powerline?

thinner line is always going to be lighter and less drag. Not just for racing and especially if you are using a larger kite to get out in the lightest you can go, then drag is something to consider.

Re: Source for Q-Powerline?

Power line sports is the web site for the actual manufacturer of q-powerline, you'll see their sticker on the spool when you purchase it from any retailer. Some retailers will reduce prices for different reasons so searching around you can find the odd deal. The other thing to keep in mind with the ...

The second fastest at 82.89 mph / 72.02 knots also used a Vapor. Top speed in winter have used a variety of...

Re: Peter Lynn new tube kite?

A lot of people don't understand the relationship with Peter Lynn and VliegerOp from past to present. Sorry I couldn't resist having fun but i do understand your point and as a very long time PL flier it does look and sound odd seeing his name on an LEI but from my perspective as a dealer and many y...

Re: Peter Lynn new tube kite?

this is misleading. I have met PL on many occasions, often seen him trimming and testing kites. he has nothing to do with these new kites!! PS is now the sole designer for these new kites, its not a PL kite, it's a kite designed my PS, with PL name just being used as a branding exercise. yes and I ...

A friend of mine in a similar situation contacted the police - they said it was a scam but asked him to proceed so they try and track the guy. A cheque came by courrier and it was a government cheque - cops said it was an excellent fake. If you cash it, it will take a while to come back as counterfe...

There was a regular group of Afghani kite fliers using the chemaical cutting line at bluffers park - they fly the kites on very long lines - I've seen from 300 to maybe 700ft. When they fight and cut line it's left laying all over the park and in the trees. Birds have been tangled in it and cut/kill...
