Airheads

I've decided to spend more time flying, and less in the workshop, and I'm delighted to be flying with the Airheads - Doug Irvine, Paul Collins, Keith and Vee Griffiths and Valerie.

More information on the Airheads website www.airheads.org.uk

Flying line is very much a matter of personal choice, but I've been a long-term user of Climax Protec line, both for solo and team flying. Flying with the Airheads we've had exceptionally good service from the lines. Performance is outstanding and the line is very durable. Full information available on the Climax UK website.

STACK UK is the offical kite competition site; the new site has loads of useful (and growing) content.

Ray Bethell has one of the best flyer sites around, brimmed full of content, detailing Ray's adventures in the kiting world.

Ray is the definitive number one geezer. Highly recommended.

kites.org hosts a number of excellent sites dedicated to promoting the sport of kite flying.

I've found in particular the Kite Fantastic site is a great source of information, loads of links and useful stuff like where to fly in the UK.

The Kite Flier's Site contains kite reviews, festival listings, STACK and links to the kiting world.

Roy Reed has some really nice animations of the STACK competition figures, which are much easier to understand than the static diagrams. Even if you don't compete, these are excellent patterns for developing fine kite control.

I'm terrible for losing ground stakes, so it's nice to see a sensible solution. Details and stockists from Graham Binney.

I'm hopless at making postings - but some of our customer's comments can be seen on the Gone With the Wind forum.
