Very good Octopus.Beautiful Video

I don't know how it could be achieved, but flashing strobed eyes would be a natural for this kite, day or night.

Ha! What an imagination you have Glenn. However, ideas are no good without solutions - I don't do fiddly!

Nice video and great version of the Octopus

[@CloseEncounters]

Thanks. This one is Marilyn's least favourite and rarely gets flown.

[@MichaelKSherman]

Looks like it flies very well. Thanks for sharing!

[@CloseEncounters]

Yep - good flyer. It doesn't seem to generate a tremendous pull so we felt quite safe in the high winds we had when we first arrived. As soon as the sun came out the winds dropped and we lowered it to get some of the action shots from behind.

We had 2 of these at Kites Over Lake Michigan 2020 this past weekend. The lady that had them didn’t want 2 white ones, so she dyed one a light purple. They flew well considering the winds we had.

[@CloseEncounters]

I wish I had thought of that. Ours had to go because Marilyn wasn't keen on the 'cow' pattern. Perhaps I could have kept it had I dyed it pink! 🤣

[@mrlionel1965]

Here in Wisconsin, we are in the land of fairy farms, so the cow pattern looks right at home here..ha ha.

@@mrlionel1965 She who must be obeyed! We needed funds for this one so I was happy in the end.😉kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXK0dIWXj6ugeKM

That's a beautiful kite. Looks well behaved for such a big size. Does it fit back in the original bag ?

[@breinertorres5607]

How to buy?

[@breinertorres5607]

Oh great, thanks, and does it have a lot of force or can one person hold it without problems?

[@CloseEncounters]

@@breinertorres5607 ALWAYS anchor any large kite securely with the line payed out before launching. That way you won't be surprised by the pull and will be able to see that you are not going to catch trees or overfly roads. Never fly near power lines, remember the wind can change easily through 180 degrees so be aware of what is within reach of the anchor point through 360 degrees.

What a wild one! But it sure is smooth flyer...thanks for sharing with us. Puts the buzz in my brain that maybe I need a bigger one.:)
