First night fly out watching Aaron and Lorelei King and Mike Gee the day before Kites Over Lake Michigan. Beautiful displays. 20M Octopi and 16M Trilobites
I had no idea there was such a thing as these lighted kites. Lighted trilobites? Who knew? I did not think it was possible for watching kites to be a more beautiful experience. I was wrong. This is just magical. Truly magical. Inspiring actually. Wow. Just wow. And the music behind the video is perfect!
Now you are just moving the bar up Michael. Probably the best video I’ve seen of LED Octopi I’ve seen. Looks like my wish list is growing again! Kudos on this one my friend.
Great video! Currently I have an LED Trilobite-16 on its way to me & I hope to take it to the Great Sand Dunes NP and fly it at dusk ifthe wind will cooperate!
The trilobites are used as pilots, right? Do you think 1000lb braided dacron line would be strong enough for a 16m trilobite lifting a 20m octopus like the first one you launched?
Love ❤️ I've been looking at these light up kites an ali exspress. Are those vendors legit? Or is there a better vendor to go through for the parafoil led kites? 🤔
@@GraceCondron thank you! I've bought some good quality kites from Wei Kite Factory Store on AliExpress. Kaixuan Kites is known as a reliable vendor. I understand they manufacture for Peter Lynn.
@@MichaelKSherman awesome! Thanks for the info. Can't wait to see more of your videos with your new kites. Thanks for all the work you do bringing kites to the Midwest. I'm hoping to find some more kite enthusiasts near me in SE Minnesota. The closest group of flyers is over two hours away in the twin cities.
Beautiful video. How long do the batteries last? Also, keep us updated if you have any problems with them. I don't mind buying cheaply made kites because they are easy to repair, but once you involve cheap wiring, leds, and batteries, I get worried. I don't know how to fix those and the price jump is huge, so replacing is out of the question.
Sometimes I lay there at night looking up at the sky. I think to myself, I've got to get this roof fixed.

They certainly are fun to watch Douglas. The right music really makes it.
So what's the name brand of these kites?

I know that wishlist feeling.🤣 Thanks Jonny!
Strongly echoed everything Jonny said! ❤ I am intrigued by the type of lights being used?
@@amycuaresma thanks Amy! LED lights is all I know.
I am always fascinated by the illuminated kites... Thanks for showing... 😃
You bet!
Hey, you bet Kupper!
Wow, what a great display. Never seen this before.
They flew some this weekend in Jamestown North Dakota. Will post soon.
Incredible. Thanks for sharing. 😃
You bet, Ben

Just brilliant ❤️
Thanks, Luca!
That looks like fun!
Another kite to put on the list. 😄 🤣
@@MichaelKSherman I've been looking at different options!
Wow! What a show. I've been looking at light up trilobites for a while.
Great video! Currently I have an LED Trilobite-16 on its way to me & I hope to take it to the Great Sand Dunes NP and fly it at dusk ifthe wind will cooperate!
Awesome Dano. Hope you're well!
very cool
Imagine you didn't know those were kites
Does the kite come with the lights or do you add them on and if you do where do you buy the lights from?
Comes with lights from Kaixuan Kite.
Fantastic. Can this be done in winter?
Yes. At this point there are just a few club members with lighted kites.
The trilobites are used as pilots, right? Do you think 1000lb braided dacron line would be strong enough for a 16m trilobite lifting a 20m octopus like the first one you launched?
That's right Gary. 500lb for a 16sqm trilobite will work as long as the octopus is on a separate line and clipped on with a carabiner.
@@MichaelKSherman Thank you! What strength line for the octopus then?
@@garyesposito4025 the octopus hangs from the line of a lifter. At least one of these does. The other flies on its own. But essentially 500lb as well.
Man Michael this is awesome. Where did they get the lights to do this? Ron
Ron, a lot of Chinese manufactures are selling lighted kites now. Kaxuian kites is one.
Wow so cool. Thanks for the info.
Where does one buy a light up kite? I have been searching and I'm wary of cheap/scam websites.
Kaixuan Kite in China is a reliable maker. They make kites for Peter Lynn

Should also say I love your videos. I am just getting into big kites and your content is so helpful/cool.

Well I have yet to own one myself. But they do come with a rechargeable battery packet and you can get a remote switch.
