Review on 🌈 Hengda's 55 Inch Rainbow Parafoil Design by Eric Jones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beware of bad reviews!

Great kite for the price! The quality is better than I expected, I didn't have to re-tie the bridle rig and all the stitching was intact. The lines are fairly standard and of good quality. The single purchase costs more than what I paid for the whole set, a lot! There is no need to "untangle" the lines. I gave four stars because the bridle is too high, so the pull/response is a bit low. This is great for beginners. Once I've adjusted the scales and shortened the strings to my liking, no doubt this kite will fly very well. A few tips: fly in the right wind range and make sure you have enough space to avoid turbulence. Learn the basic knots of a kite. The lark's head is ideal for connecting slings. Use the winding tool that came with the kite. Don't coil the lines separately, coil them up exactly as they were made when you're done. Start at the other end as they are back to front. This isn't for flying a kite, it's for storing lines. FLY IN THE RIGHT WIND RANGE! This kite works well in wind speeds up to 25-30 mph. Also you risk breaking the lines or damaging the kite. Learn how to fly a stunt kite. If nobody is with you, weigh them down with sand or put a kite in front of a fence/bush/basketball hoop. Where I fly I use bushes or a basketball hoop. DO NOT launch next to the kite and "disengage a small line from each hand. It's a great way to hurt yourself, and you might never get this thing airborne. Enjoy!
