Welcome!
Nice 'air guitar kite'!
Is that from IntoTheWind?
Are you a kite hobbyist as well, or just the air guitar one?
I've got a few dual line stunters and a couple of parafoils, of course with an infant at home I don't get nearly the air time as I used to.
But, someday it will be a father-son activity!

Oh yes..Big time Kite Flyer here. Ours is from Martin Blais, the original maker.
When it's time to buy a new vehicle, all the kites come along so we're sure they'll fit!

Dan, I don't know much about kites except that there are stunt-type kites. Are yours the kind that can dive quickly without smacking into the ground as well as perform various types of stealth aerial maneuvers? In the past I remember seeing a few of those types of kites at the beach in Belmar, NJ. They were fun to watch! :D Of course, if yours are the Ben Franklin type of kite, that's nice, too. ;)

Well Cindy, We fly all types of kites. From miniature Dragonfly kites (that real life dragonflys fly with!) to 80 foot long show kites. And, 80 feet is NOT considered large in my circle of friends.
Here's a link to some of our online photos: http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f280/dcarey69/Kites/
I'm the fat gut with the Aussie hat and the clown nose! We also fly RC airplanes on occasion. Life's too short to grow up!
The kites we fly have one, two, three, or four lines. Tons of fun!

Dan, I KNOW I've never seen anything as gigantic as some of those kites! Quite impressive I might add. I'll check out the YouTube info, too! ;) Thanks for the info. :)

It's amazing how wide ranging kites sizes can be. From single little Eddy's ("Ben Franklin kites") to huge delta-conyne's that can lift buses, there is something for everyone.
For fun, and to prove it could be done, a few years ago I made a very small kite.
Ended up being about 1.4" by 1 inch, weighed about a gram and flew on a long hair, indoors. I'll have to search around, but I have pictures of it.
