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".

See if he will sell you a complete lineset.  I bought 2 from Norm recently (including finger straps) and they are the best linesets I've ever bought.

Tom, the line-sets were LPG "comp". So, keep a close eye on them as they will stretch/creep as compared to LPG Gold. A good time to use the line-equalizers in-field.

I assume that you're not paying yourself fairly for that time investment.

If I charged for larbor NOBODY could afford them. I don't use a sewing machine. Everything done by hand. Very time consuming, especially adding the line-equalizers. I have line-equalizers on all of mine. I place my index fingers on the line-equalizers for better and subtle line inputs.

This must be a lobor of love and your passion.
Thanks Norm, I love your wrist straps.

I will try this next time I am flying.

I call these Modified Wrist Straps. Designed (if worn proper) to force you to use finger tip line control. I'll bring you a pair on my next trip to area-51.

Wow Norm, A product to force people like me to use the right technique. 

With staps like that my skills can only improve.

Hi
I measure 2 lines for flying, i made them the same lenght far as I can.
Then I don't need those pigtails because my lines are same and no need to change any line lenght .
Go out and make You lines same and You are free of all those knots.
Thats just my way....

We should always take advantage when offered an equalizer whether it's pigtails or Yo Yo Stoppers.
