hey shultzie, kinda looks like a cookie cutter plane to me,, a true lawn dart if ever! so ,, where do you put the fuel? and, what size prop does it take, I assume you use new tech flat pitch piped setup since it has a tunnel for it. Im a bit concerned though, I cant tell ifyou fly clockwise or counterclockwise
Shultzie, I really think you should return to your roots,, come fly with US

I'll second that Mark. But I have to say I have brought kites to airplane contest at times just to have somthing to do when the wind blows too much.

I watched the video. Sort of reminds me of RC 3D flying. I played around with one of those small, 3D foam electric jobs out in my driveway last summer. It was fun, kinda, for awhile. I can't imagine it would keep my interest more than a few days at most. Kinda of fun to play with, but not really something to hold my attention.

You Can't fly that on our stunt circle at Delta Park. It's too quiet. Do you provide your own wind or what. HB~> HB~> HB~> HB~>

Where does The Schultzie rate.  I've been told when too old for racing you fly stunt.  When too old for stunt you fly scale.  I guess he must be too old for scale so he flies kites.  Keep at it Schultzie, as it is keeping you going and that is the main thing.  DOC Holliday

Interesting huh? Actually it is still duel line...but after he has those bridle line wrapped around the kite..(starting with the ala-YO-YO  he has that SOUL's extra long bridle lead lines now positioned at the trailing  edge...which throws the C.G waaaay back...after you see the kite has climbed to the near top of the window...he throws both hands forward inducing slack followed then by a  hard on one line which then rotates that back into forward flight..

lots of drivel...but take n'utta look. Personally, once you adjust your kite for that radical trick..then the trade off is a kite that is not tuned for good tracking or consistant cornering etc...etc.
I still prefer flying my Prism Quantum Pro  www.prismkites.com  and my HQ Shadow freestyler

The kite will definitely do the 5' radius corner, but I didn't think there was any beauty or artistry to the maneuvers flown. I think if Shultzie was to take his Avenger to a kite contest and put up a good pattern, the kite sticks ("Dips Sticks" is too harsh and politically slanted) would all rush to the LHS... C'mon, Donny!  S?P Steve
