Very nice build quality-some humongus spars.....the lower spreaders are as thick as my pinkie finger................ If you're asking about windrange?...It's purported to be 3-14 MPH....................I have only flown it way down low 2-3 MPH and it had little or no pull.............still it has a very solid feel.......you know it's there, for sure. Hope that helps, Jim Title: Re: thors hammer-for those of you who are curious Post by: kiter on July 18, 2009, 02:02 AM cool,thanks jim.
Title: Re: thors hammer-for those of you who are curious Post by: Gamelord on July 20, 2009, 11:40 AM What is so surprising is just how well this monster can trick. It can flic-flac, axle (beautifully and super flat), Jacobs, 540, cascade, backspin, lazy susan..... But, you do have to do a ton of running and the tugs are all like huge lawn-mower pulls! In the stronger winds, I love taking off the leach line and letting this baby thunder. It has a very nice thundering rumble as it pulls through the air - if you are wanting to get some attention, this is the kite to do that. This is really an awesome kite to fly.

Title: Re: thors hammer-for those of you who are curious Post by: EBGB on July 20, 2009, 12:18 PM Yes.
Question is, can you steer a wheelchair with your hands full? Title: Re: thors hammer-for those of you who are curious Post by: Bodega Bay Flyer on July 20, 2009, 01:30 PM Guess I'll need a buggy.
