First of all building a kite that size with that framing is an incredible achievement. Well done! Second you are 100% correct on the no new framing point. It’s an interesting question, what would you change? Material? Taper rates? That might need some examination.

Glad it was helpful! Cheers!

The Ultim was a very easy connection for me but I think it depends on what type of flying you are looking to do. I like a competition kite as I tend to fly with a mixed discipline style. If you want pure freestyle the antidote and FX compare favorably to many of the current kings of class like the Superfly. The Ultim is decidedly French in the best ways and again compares well to kites like the Supernova or Canvas Intention

@@SkyRider1987 thank you that helps. I am a big fan of the Nirvana, Talon, XTS and Cosmic TC. I guess I like the bigger kites, however, I haven't tried the newer kites mentioned (been away for a while). Nothing wrong with trying a few out. Thanks again :)

Yeah it’s good fun to throw around.

Preach!

Thanks

Thanks ✌

Glad you enjoyed

That’s definitely a new one!

I would generally avoid used for a first kite for a bunch of reasons like potential pricey repairs.

@@SkyRider1987 Most of my kites are used from benson to R-Sky.

@@MindRiderFPV I’m glad you have had positive experiences with the second hand market. I generally advise against that for truly new flyers as the skills for repair and reconditioning are an additional thing to learn and may take away from the experience of learning to fly.

@@SkyRider1987 I bought undamaged used kites, like most are unless specified, that were kept with care and in good flying conditions, maybe a patched sail or some wear but that’s iit. You can save a lot of money while learning.

@@MindRiderFPV again I’m glad you have had that positive an experience. A truly new flyer might not know what to look for or what they are looking at. Additionally I’d like to point out that most of the kites you will find and that you mentioned are not appropriate for a first kite like we are discussing in this video. Fair winds

Longer lines slow things down and give more time but are also harder to manage. It is easier to loose that critical tension and harder to find it again. As always though I would look at what the kite designer recommends for each kite as line length is an often overlooked part of design behavior. Thanks for your question!

There are very few kites that will happily cover off that range in just two versions. I would say three is doable. In the 2-7 range something like a Spur SUL by Canvas could be an excellent edition to your bag. Really you want some over lap so 5-14mph an Ultim by Wind-R, A Supernova by Benson Kites, or a Spiderkites Abraxas are all high on my list. Lastly for the upper range, 12+ mph, I would recommend the Ultim Mid Vent by Wind-R or the Intention Vent by Canvas Kite Designs. Keep in mind that vents are going to feel different when tricking and aren’t always helpful for the learning. Hope this helps. Thanks for your questions.

@@pauleiler5648 is absolutely correct about most of these. The Abraxas is about $200 us. In that category there are the widow pro classic around 200 and a new kite from Canvas coming soon. After that the second hand market or consider making something open source.

@@SkyRider1987 I appreciated your response and is exactly the advice I was looking for. It's nice to at least have a starting point. I've actually flown the Widow Pro Classic and loved it!! I'm also excited to see the new Canvas release, hopefully soon!

Thank you!

Absolutely! It’s a really fun way to trick too. It’s so big that everything is sort of in slow motion

Thanks!

Thanks dude!

?

Many thanks!

Thank you for your friendship and for continuing to support and supply me with cool kites from your back catalogue!

I’m glad you are looking forward to it! I make no promises as to the accuracy of the information contained here but I do hope it helps. Thanks for watching.

Honestly not sure, it came with the template. Sorry

The spur is so fun and the strong is awesome. Glad you enjoyed and are enjoying the videos! Thanks for watching

I love both of those kites. It depends on what line of tricks interest you. The Deep Space does most things but it excels at pitch based tricks. The Super Fly is a more well rounded but at least for me it had a learning curve. If you want to look at some other manufacturers and builders, the Spider Kites Abraxas, The Canvas Kite Designs Crux or Intention, or The Wind-R Ultims or Ultim FX would all be good options and there are a variety of price points there. Good luck in your search and on your flying journey

Man thank you so much I ended up getting the super fly But will just go an purchase another kite that you recommend

Glad you enjoyed!

Pretty incredible right!

Hell You Call A Dream by The Warning

Thanks for watching I guess

Thanks! this one was fun to edit for sure!

Ray, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you taking a moment to watch these videos. I really appreciate it. If you ever want to talk about your work in kites, I’d love to have you on the channel.

I'm glad you like it

About a month for production and then about 7-10 days shipping and customs. Pretty reasonable for a made to order kite these days. There are some builders with a six month turnaround.

@@SkyRider1987 better than I thought.

Not familiar with that. Got a link?

Thanks! It’s a great kite, I got on with it instantly. It’s absolutely a modern classic.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it!

100%

What can I say, it was a really good picture

I know! I can’t believe it took me this long

Glad you like it

They don’t pull like they used to. You should give it a try again.
