I've used this kite several times in the last month and it's very easy to fly (once you have enough of a breeze). If there's a good wind, you can launch it on your own but I've found it easiest in all wind conditions if a friend helps.
The hand grips are moulded plastic circles and they are very comfortable to use. The line attached to the kite with clips, making it easy to set up (you don't need to tie the string to the kite). It also makes the kite more secure.
The only downside is that the kite comes apart very easily on impact. This is obviously better than parts of it snapping but if you have to retrieve it and put the poles back in place after each (slight) impact, it gets annoying.
Overall, this is a good beginner's kite.

i got this kite last week and hav been waiting for a windy day to fly it. then yesterday it iwas perfect and i shot up into the sky and flew like a dream. this is my first kite and so i have on experiance in flying but after reading the flite manual for 5 minuits i kenw how to fly it. the amazing thin about it is that it is so light at 220g and the wing span is bigger than me at 5fr 7in from tip to tip. it comes compleat with all the lines and everything you will need to start flying. the only other ingreadeant is a nice windy day. this is well worth the money. howers of fun ahead with this 10/10

What a brilliant kite this is ! very easy to fly quick to set up and pack away!! I bought this kite to teach my son how to fly them at 9 its to big for him as a strong wind would take him away! so plan worked! And I get a great kite again! He now has a smaller version of the kite! and both of us go down to the beach and have a lot of fun flying both kites !!!

good kite, easier to use than the "rookie" kite. Needs stronger braces as the ones supplied have failed and need to be replaced.

I brought this kite to take on holiday with me, the delivery was fantastic I had the kite in less than 24 hours (standard delivery). The kite was easy to set up and comes with a good carry case. It comes with good instructions to help you get the best enjoyment out of your kite. After a few disapointing attemps I got the hang of it and it was flying wonderfully. at one point I even had a bit of a crowd. However my moment of fun soon came to an abrupt end when my new kite nose dived into the ground. This I admit is not the falt of the kite it is the falt of the pilot, however the kite did sustain some damage upon impact. The center pole has split and snaped in two. So I am having to replace this with something that is more durable. Although I had not anticipated this extra cost it is still a good kite and heaps of fun to fly !!!!!!
