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.

I've only been flying for about a year and just purchased a Prism Quantum for my start in dual line flying. I live in East Texas (Lindale), where the wind is either non-existent or gusting to 25mph. But, I make do.

I lurked for a while and decided to introduce myself. I've already gleaned a lot of info off you pros on the forum. I'm having a blast learning the in's and out's of stunt kite flying. Looking forward to becoming a part and learning more in the future.

Welcome Trip! I'm from Wichita Falls, TX (North Central Texas). There's a kite fest in east Texas this coming weekend. here's the info. Also, if you want to start learning more about flying, I suggest that you try and attend a few kite festivals. I maintain the web page Kite events calendar for the region (AR, LA, NM, OK, TX). Here's that link:

Gracias for the info TGunn... I was hoping you'd jump in and give me the url to the calendar. For some reason I couldn't get it to work from other posts you had. I'll definitely take your advice and attend some kite festivals. I've already got plans for this weekend but you should have some great weather for it. I had planned on making the kite festival in Arlington, TX next Saturday, April 5th.

Oh and chilese, fair enough... henceforth, all you guys will be kite connoisseurs.    My thanks to all of you for a warm welcome!

Troy, if you ever need any help with any website coding or issues on the calendar, I'll be glad to lend a hand. Feel free to view my website at http://hilliard.ws
