Welcome to the GWTW Forum.
Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post.  If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?
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.
There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".

This was Steve Shapson's company I think and I probably blew the name (Troy, help me out) who also made the Force 10, the first big commercial stunt kite.

Copy of their advertisement


Close but smaller copies of the Top of the Line Spin Off and Hawaiian

Oops that second kite in the add is a copy of the Avenger another Don Tabor design that was produced by both Action Kites and Jerry Sinote but never by Top of the Line.

should have looked in the bottom of the sleeve first: found a spec sheet for the Challenger kite.  Owners were Steve Shapson and Randy Schmidt.
