New bigger kite spinner

  • My 1.761st kite video. This spinner is a bigger version of the one I bought in June, in slightly different colours. Naturally, it requires more lifting power, so either a bigger lifter or more wind, but it's a good item, and the two sizes together look great. You can also see my new Shuttle lifter in use here for its intended purpose. The spinners can be bought in different sizes and colours here: www.aliexpress.com/item/10050... .

    Charlie Watson made a great success with designing this spinner and I think your video is the first time anyone in the wider kite community has got to see them. Look forward one day soon to have a close look at them. Keep the nice weather for my future visit.

      Wild winds here these days, Carl, but I hope that by the time we get out of lockdown (whenever that might be) things will have settled down. Your new kites are still waiting for you.

    They are quite impressive Jim. Thanks for sharing.

      They're certainly a bit different, David, and make an attractive sight, especially together.

      The smaller one was not in the colours I ordered anyway! The new one was, fortunately.

      I'd never seen one until I bought these, although they were designed by a New Zealander.

      They're good, Ken, but need a fair bit of lifting.

    That Big Spinner is pretty nice looking. The smaller on is nice too, but the blue just doesn't do it for me. Maybe if they went yellow or even grey it would look better (imo). Thanks Jim!

    • @JimNicholls
      @JimNicholls  2 роки тому +2

      The blue wasn't supposed to be there. In fact the whole thing was supposed to be in different colours, but when you buy from China you don't always get what you order.

    Just purchased an HQ kap foil 3.0 and was looking for something substantial to lift. Could it handle the 40 foot size?

    • @JimNicholls
      @JimNicholls  2 роки тому

      I haven't used my KAP Foil 3.0 a lot, but I think it would struggle to lift the 40ft one unless the wind was quite strong.

    Was YingFeida Store the same one that sent you wrong colour scheme Spinner not so long ago? Oh and this Spinner 13M B&W IS VERY, VERY NICE! Thanks for presenting it here. :^{D. Is the bride good quality Dacron, or thin Kevlar line, since the price plus shipping is fairly high, I ask so as not to receive any surprises if I order one. Thanks Jim.

    • @JimNicholls
      @JimNicholls  2 роки тому +1

      No, not the same store. This one seems very efficient and provided exactly what I ordered. The quality is good, with excellent bridles. It's not cheap, but there's a lot of fabric involved so there's no surprise there. I think you would be happy with it.
