This thing sails ... quick ...Apr 09, 2009
By Steffan Piper After having tried a multitude of kites already, some which I've reviewed and some which I haven't, I ended up on this particular kite after many wasted hours struggling to get continuous flight from kites in a more expensive bracket.
After opening the package and removing two rubber bands from the folded up streamer tail, I had this high in the air in less than thirty seconds. I was shocked at just how easy and simple this kite was to get going.
The kite also looks good in the air and as seeing kites in the air is more of an anomaly these days, several cars passing by all stopped to watch this thing whip around beautifully in the air.
The joy of flying a kite never ceases to amaze me and is a lot like meditation. If it's been awhile since you've flown one, I highly recommend this product.
The quality of the kite is sturdy, but I do recommend buying a 500 ft spool and maybe even a winder as the 120 feet of line that comes with it leaves you wanting to get it even higher. But 120 feet is enough for first time flyers.

Easiest kite ever to flyDec 29, 2009
By LisaJay My family loves this kite. We have gifted it to family and friends, and have bought a second one for ourselves. It is incredibly easy to get up as long as there is wind. If I can fly it anyone can. I'm the Charlie Brown of kite flying.

I have one of these in our cars in case we're out and there's a nice breeze. Easy to store! Good to have one or two on hand for the last minute gift when the kids get invited to birthday party's as it fits for both girls and boys.

hard to flySep 10, 2010
By Joseph Born I don't know how I seemingly had such a different experience as the other reviewers. I'm a normal kite buyer as far as I know. I've flown kites as a kid, and I bought one to fly with my daughter. We had another older kite that broke and bought this one as a replacement, I'm no expert, but I did all the normal things one does to fly a kite, ran into the wind, had a one of us hold the kite 20 yards down wind and threw it up into the air. We've tried in low and relatively high wind conditions, and it was always easy to get started, but we were never able to get it to stay in the air. In low wind, it would just drop once you stopped running, in higher wind, it would zig and zag all over the place and eventually nose dive to the ground. Like I said, we've had fine luck with the older kite we had previously, but after 3+ tries with this one, I'm back on Amazon looking for a kite that's easier to fly.

excellent kiteJul 10, 2010
Years ago I bought same kite at the museum store of Air and Space Museum in DC. However this one is fraction of the price and perfoms similarly.
I especially love the fact that this design folds into a small size. Stays with me in my car all the time. you never know when you'll need a little fun :)
