I got this kite to fly alongside my Daughters Diamond Rainbow. We've had it for about a week now but the wind just hasn't been blowing till yesterday, so we all went to try it out. I was expecting to need help getting it into the air but found that all I needed to do was let it go and it rose immediately.
The construction of the kite looks and feels very good, everything is tight and solid. seems as though it would be able to handle quite a few fast crashes before anything broke.
Assembly was easy as it's just a case of fixing the four cross beams inside into the rubber mounts. care does have to be taken when doing this though as the 2nd beam at each end needs to be bent to get it into the mount so it would be easy to slip and puncture the canvas.
Once done though all that's needed is to tie the string on and wait for a windy day. the string has plenty on it too, the picture I've uploaded has the string unwound about halfway.
Overall a fun, easy to fly, well made kite that can be launched by one person.
