HENGDA KITE-Red Arrow 48 Inch Dual Line Stunt Kite for Kids and Adults, Outdoor Sports,Beach and Fun Sport Kite,Handle,Line,and Bag Included

I gave this kite a price adjusted 5-stars. However, this is not the kite that I would recommend for a first stunt kite. The kite is flyable and might be suitable if you already fly stunt kites or have someone to help you learn.I have been flying stunt kites since I bought my first Peter Powell at Klig's in Myrtle Beach. I wanted to find out how bad this kite was for the price. If you consider the price it is not that bad and is flyable. The biggest problem is that there is a big learning curve when learning how to fly a stunt kite. You would have the same learning curve if you spent the money for a better kite. It is hard to fly until you figure out how to do it. After you figure out how to fly, it is relatively easy and relaxing.Here are some points on learning to fly:1. The big deal is to move your arms in and out instead of up and down like a steering wheel.2. Expect to over control and crash.3. Search the internet on how to attach the line to the kite using a larks head knot.Here are some points on this kite:1. Build quality was not impressive, but it was adequate for the price. The spare parts were nice.2. The bridal is not adjustable. You want to adjust the bridal forward in light winds. However, you could wrap the forward bridal line around the front spar once and it did the job.3. This is not a light wind kite. You do not need a hurricane, but you do need a good breeze.4. The lines are basic polyester lines. Higher quality kites use Spectra or Dyneema lines which have much smaller diameter and less stretch per unit of strength. The lower friction of the Spectra or Dyneema lines also allow you to still fly the kite after many more twists from spinning hte kite. This makes a big difference.

I am aware that it is a cheap product, however its materials are very poor quality (look at the photos, even the wing comes with the battered fabric) I have had previous experiences with HQ kites and really enjoyed them, so going from previous kites to this one has been very frustrating. Everything is wrong with this kite, from its materials to its lack of rigor in its construction. It is not balanced, so it is difficult to control the stunts in the flight (sure, you manage to lift it off the ground) Of all my purchases on Amazon I have never been so disappointed and ripped off. I feel like I lost my money on this purchase. I do not understand how it manages to have more than three stars with such poor quality and such a bad experience.

I have been flying stunt kites for several years now. I've had several good flying kites. This is not one of them. This one is probably the worst. It will not fly. The bridles are not adjustable like other kites I have owned.

The strings are not very strong and one of the plastic supports broke after two uses. The supports also kept popping out of the corner pieces. I had to tape them together.

Wish I could return this, but it takes while to make sure it sucks. It sucks. I can fly these and had good wind all 3 times I tried it. Once the wind lets up a little, it crashes and you have to piece it back together each time.
