The top setup is for using a tree (see the extra 2800lb webbing retained by the elastic band by the roll of 1000lb line) (I cant find the original web site that this setup was detailed on and I copied it from. After setting my main lifter kite I can then send my laundry up fully controlled and tie off round the cleats to adjust them independently. The grey webbing goes into the tow hitch receiver and retained by the original pin. I just use the figure of eight reversed as the kite line is much smaller in diameter than dynamic climbing rope it's designed for. I pass my line doubled up through the figure of eight back round it like a mountain climber would do to decend, then down to a bottom cleat. Great if the wind changes direction as I can just reverse the car round. Yeh to achor my display kites, I remove my tow bar and use the cross retaining pin to anchor my kites. Another trick can be a piece of cardboard inside the mouth to help hold open in certain winds. I use a larks head knot to secure line and bridle. Check out the SLK section here for more ideas to be sure your safe. Pull strap to help lower quickly if something goes wrong. Good stake with a backup in high winds for safety. These things have amazing pull as you will find out. Depending on the wind speed you should likely go to at least 500# or 1000 in fifteen to twenty winds. No, it’s not the quality or has the appearance of a $2000 kite that I would like to own but for me and the grandkids it makes us happy.
I have a little larger china spinoff and for the money have been quite happy with it. Downside of ordering from China:( Any help appreciated guys!
#House of marbles octopus kite how to
Anyone out there have one? Any tips about how to attach to a line? Do I need heavier line? EmmaKites just told me. It's a soft airfoil with a complicated looking bridle. I bought 150 lb line for my 49 ft octopus. I have found videos of how to daisy chain, and the larks head knot. Now after hours of researching I realize there is very little info out there about how to attach, what kind of line, etc. I've seen the big octopus kites all over lately, and had to have one. Hi I'm a kite newbie except for an Into the Wind Delta I had years ago.
