One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet.  A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites.  Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal.  1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.

If you are flying indoors check out a Karl Longbottom Petrodactyl , great fun flyer.

The pterodactyls are top notch...i like the large more than the standard size...but have you tried the 6-81?
he he he he he he he he h

6-81?
61/49? I have one of these as well but it's more of 1-2 mph kite at minimum for me

Rob.. I just may have to do that.. I do not think you can go wrong with that kind of price. Buuuuut I do like unique so I will keep watching this for ideas. I did not enjoy fighters but gliders seem to be very Zen like

Nope.....Karl makes a 6-81....stiffer frame than the pterodactyl with some neat design tweaks....this is one more reason I like the large pterodactyl more than the small one.....the 6-81 replaced the small one in my bag......

You could always build one yourself.   The attached picture is of my Rapere Canard Kite.  Reply #73 at the following link takes you to the post under the Kite Building and Repair Section of this Forum, which provides the links to download the plans and construction pictures for two sizes of the Rapere.

Doug knows what he's talking about. I've seen his kites and he's quite the XUL builder!

Not as yet but will be flying with Karl next Sunday at an indoor get together so hoping he will bring some and may be something new. Problem is that these doo`s can get costly,as we all know that enough kites is one more than you have!!!!!!

He said you had been in contact. Well I managed not to buy a 6-81, unfortunately he brought his new 7-81,money spent.Also a Brazilian Pipi found a home in my bag. I`m easily swayed. The 7-81 is a beautiful flyier and controlable,I have only been flying single lne kites for a year and this was my third indoor session. I am a long time two and four liner so still learning the lighter touch.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHipWymQCSE

Well done Tim well done.
Why did you choose a 7 over a 6?
You will love the pipa to!!!!

[Danceswithwinds]

Thanks. I chose it because it worked for me and felt comfortable straight away, it was fun from the off. I find I that a kite must either feel right to me or  be something  of a challenge eg. Flexifoil L7, Utopia or Andy Wardley/Tim Benson Airbow ( I know more than 1 line). New  challenge always good (Pipa).
