Hengda Kite Beautiful Large Easy Flyer Review

This is a great kite! Especially for money. We live on the beach and fly a lot of kites. I really like this one because it's big enough to be seen. It's also very easy to fly and neglect (in a good way). We often tie it to a wagon or chair and let it fly. It helps mark a place where we can return from the water, or where friends can find us. It's also easy to fly and handle. This is my five year old kite. He regularly flies it with minimal adult help to get it airborne. The thread doesn't…

I knew nothing about parafoil kites as I always grew up with the typical diamond or delta kite with fiberglass poles. This kite is made of nylon material and does not use poles. You really need at least 10mph wind to get it flying, but it's easy if you hold onto it, allow the air holes to fill with air (takes 2 seconds), and release by slowly releasing the cord. I also suggest buying a reel for around $6, which makes kite flying a lot easier and more fun than the free reel/line holder that…

I bought this kite along with another one (black kite in the photo) for my 5 and 7 year old granddaughters to fly at the beach and they loved it! The squid kite is perfect for a 5 year old, it is very light weight and easy to fly even for a younger child. The kite is durable, after landing it in the sea we were able to pull it out, let it dry on the beach for a couple of hours and launch again. The kite comes in a handy, reusable drawstring bag. You have to tie the rope (there are no clamps on…

Fantastic kite! This thing is very easy to fly. Unlike other kites we tried, this one was very easy. We bought 500ft Revain line + spool: https://amazon.com/dp/B00HFQDSWEPlus, 1000ft Revain line: https://amazon.com/dp/B01BDLFFXQ 500ft tip removed and replaced by 1000 foot (this spool fits on a 1000 foot spool). It didn't take long to unwind the entire 1000ft tip and take this kite to super high altitude! We called a family member from the park. They could see him almost a mile away. Luckily I…

This kite flies very well and looks great in the sky. It is similar to other 3D Ocupus snakes in that it requires no poles or assemblies. The special thing about it is that they all have the same color. Most other kites of this size have different colored legs so I find this octopus looks better when flown and looks more expensive than it actually is. I launch it next to a much larger octopus, which makes them look like a mother and her baby in the sky. You have to make sure that the lines…

it says on the box that for the average wind I totally agree. As others have pointed out the kite is light and needs enough wind to hold its shape. It's not about hitting the kite, it's just physics, but be aware of that limitation. He also says it's for kids 5+ and they mention it's great for kids. Once off the ground you can certainly pass the rope to a small child, but the kite is more difficult than the basic diamond or wedge kites I played with as a kid. 9 threads are attached to the kite,
