It comes in a slender carrying case that also holds its good-sized reel of line. Loosen the mini bungee strap, then slip out the line and the kite. There\u2019s only one bungeed cross bar to install and the kite is ready to fly.<\/p>\n<h2>Kite Specs:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>64\u201d wingspan<\/li>\n<li>5 \u2013 20 mph wind range<\/li>\n<li>Frame \u2013 fiberglass<\/li>\n<li>Sail \u2013 ripstop polyester<\/li>\n<li>Line \u2013 200\u2019 of 30# Dacron<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to launching a fixed wing kite, its easiest if someone holds it up into the wind as you let out some line and then start running from about 25 \u2013 30 feet away. When I had the opportunity last week to fly it by myself, I pondered how best to simulate someone hold it vertically for me.\u00a0 Then it hit me \u2013 use my tripod.<\/p>\n<p>Since I usually have one or two camera tripods in my car, it occurred to me to stand the kite up against the front two legs.\u00a0 Leaning back slightly, it was the perfect angle to catch an air current.\u00a0 I let out about 25 feet of line, and with one tug, the kite lifted itself straight up into the air.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DutC9WaQwmM?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>That was very helpful since the day I was trying to fly it, I didn\u2019t have a good, constant breeze down by the lakefront. Winds blew maybe 12 \u2013 15 MPH one second and then maybe 4 -5 MPH the next \u2013 not the ideal kite flying weather \u2013 but the Stowaway Delta stayed aloft for quite a while.<\/p>\n<h2>HOISTING A GO PRO CAMERA<\/h2>\n<p>It was especially notable since I had tied a payload to the leading edge of the Stowaway Delta \u2013 a GoPro Hero 3 camera. Using a simple six inch twist tie, I set the camera, in its waterproof case, to photograph upside down, and crossed my fingers to see what kind of photographs I could capture.\u00a0 The additional weight was a true test for the Delta kite, and I really didn\u2019t expect it to work with the intermittent breezes.<\/p>\n<p>The camera did swing considerably, since there was nothing supporting it other than the twist-tie.\u00a0 After the couple short flights however, I looked at the pics I was able to grab, and was quite happy with the afternoon\u2019s effort.
