Reviews

This kite is a very pretty kite. I love when little kids shout "Mommie, look it's Nemo!" The paint seemed to rub off on ours, creating streaks on the kite, but in the air, you really don't see them. It does really look great in the air, if you can get it to take off. We have flown it on five different occassions and have had a lot of difficulty keeping it stable. It comes with additional plastic lining that you can attach to one of the wings to stabilize it, but even with that, it constantly lists to the left or the right. As it is a 3-D kite, there's also a fair ammount of time involved putting the internal struts together. It's also BIG. I was shocked with I saw the box that it came in. The wing span is almost six feet, and the while the kite collapses, it is still about 4 1/2 feet long. So, no chance of putting this in your suitcase for a beach vacation. That said, this is a kite you actually have to work on to fly, so it might be a good intermediate kite before starting on stunt kites.

We took this out one recent windy day and it flew great. Very steady and it stayed in the air with minimum wind (I would say about 7 MPH) just like the description says. We enjoy it!
