Stunt kite with long tail8/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Like Spectra line, Dyneema line should be sleeved. It is as smooth as Spectra but somewhat stretchier and will most likely require equalization before use. Dyneema is made using the same fibers as Spectra but our Dyneema line is braided and wound in China. We recommend sleeving Spectra to improve the knotted strength from 45% to 65%. Spectra line has a low melting point, so don’t cross another type of line with it or the Spectra will break. With only 4% stretch, it is slippery and feels smoother when your lines are wrapped around each other. Spectra line is the most popular, strongest and least stretchy stunt kite line. Dacron stretches 15% at the breaking point (for nylon it’s 30%). Economical and easy to tie, it does not need to be sleeved. It stretches more than other stunt kite lines, slowing the kite down and making it easier to fly. Dacron polyester line is the standard beginners’ stunt line. ![]() Low stretch lines make your stunter respond more quickly and precisely to your commands. (i don't have a clever system so it takes almost forever.Stronger, thinner stunt kite lines have less drag so your kite will fly in less wind. Or, please tell me how long it takes to wind up all those tails. Phil said he would put his stack (way more then 3) in my hands even before i fly any Getting to know you and love you and know that you name yourself after that kiteĪnd the rest, is history (to meet "just for fun" sparked my intention to have my hands on one) Kiting brought you into my life i know it's just the beginning.īeing inspired by all kiters has been the main attraction to say the just so you know that a year ago i did not even know what "trilby mouse" meant.

It was so much fun that i feel that i am in love again. and i am not even a dual line flyer (mostly i enjoy flying rev and single, recently more windless)hahaha. ![]() I pulled out the trilby and flew - in the beginning, my circles were small, but i soon figured out how to work my body toĭance with the kite to do the things i want. It's sunday, so before the crowd gets busy, We were at the grass near the harbor, so the wind is fairly clean. It's more the concept of swirly long tails that i am in love with trilby, not so much about their artistic asset) ![]() It was not hard at all! they behave so well, i love them immediately - (although i have to admit, This design offers great performance due to it's streamline shape. Today i tried the single one for a while, then switched to the set of three (yellow, red and blue) Two line kites fall into three main categories, these being the diamond shape (made famous by Peter Powell) which comes with a long tail to add to stability, making them an ideal beginners choice, Delta wing stunt kites, which are an arrow head shape. Oh, at the AKA, i got a package of unopened trilby (purple) so i have a single to start with. THERESA THE GREAT helped me make my dream come true!!! my last night with her, we drew the design and figure out the sequence to sew during our dinner (on a napkin!), then went home and made the bag (first time sewing since over 12 years)! that was august, right? now, after all two months of everything else, today i finally get to the field and flew the trilby!!!! once i got the set, i was happy and worried-they don't fit in our kite bag. So in the auction, i bought a set of three trilby. Motivated me to start with trilby- how hard could that be, they look so innocently simple. (because they are so nice and encouraging, then, didn't fly because of the weather). This summer in WSIKF, i met two trilby flyers ("just for fun" Phil and barbara burks) and almost tried to fly trilby Well, i always love watching train kites with long tails swirling in the sky with nice music. Ah, i am very very happy today because it's my first day flying trilby! ![]()
