Illinois Kite Enthusiasts

So I have been working on a second version using 4 pulleys. I have the majority of it roughed in. The problem with the first one was the wraps in the line getting to close to the rig, then the lines would climb off the pulleys. As long as there isn't too many problems with line in/out interference ...

You guys are right, no matter how the lines are situated they will rub against each other or the pulley. I am hoping to get the pulley polished and waxed to the point that there is very little friction between it and the lines. About the same as having a twist or two in the lines during normal flyi...

It's been a long time since I get in to this forum! Hi gang! It's me Hector from California, yeah...I'm still alive. and feeling good, I fly kites every now and then. I was looking at this interesting device, the basic similarities from my YoYo's. The Idea of bearings is excellent, but..I noticed on...

I have never flown an indor kite, but I allways tought that it would be easier to do it on ice, since, while skating, one can create more wind speed, when going backwards.

I definitly would...if I could...go to the nationals, but I have allway tought, that, there should be more LOCAL COMPETITIONS. (do we have any?) that way, for those who can not go to the nationals, the could at least give it a try locally. By the way I think that every area should have their own com...

Welcome aboard Chris...!!! I want to congratulate your father. (My dad was the person who originally got me into flying) I wish there were more parents teaching their children about the beauty of life, and kite flying is one of the best. I am in California, and from here I wish you lots of hours of ...

I am so close and yet so far...And I, still have to work ten hours tomorrow...but we'll see each other SATURDAY.
I'll be there all day long.

Have an amazing time, everyone!! Wish I could be there! Me Too! Maybe next year. Luggage update: OK, it can't rain because I'm leaving behind my rain gear. And it cant get too cold either. That makes room for the radios and batteries in my carry-on. I have just enough clothes to last the 2 weeks I'...

Good video Mike, I didn't get back to you with more info about the Photo, but it was taken from a Guatemalan Newspaper.
The video is very good.

$1.91...Not bad fellows, Last Sunday I went to Cosco Stores to fill my car gas tank, at this place, it is one of the lowest prices all around..
For us Californians...$2.43... for the 87 octane.
