HENGDA KITE-Upgrade Classical Dragon Kite Stereoscopic Dragon Kites for Kids & Adults Easy to Fly for Beginner Easter 63inch Single Line with Tail

I haven’t flown a kite in about 50 years. The instructions left a bit to be desired, but there are only a couple of pieces, so the pictures sufficed. It’s nice that today’s kites don’t involve fragile items like thin paper and balsa wood sticks. This kite features a material like parachute fabric along with plastic rods. Quite durable.Once assembled, this kite was like a wild horse wanting to take off! It flies like a champ! It looks great in the sky and is so much fun!I do recommend parental guidance to put it together the first time. Afterwards, anyone can put it together.For $16 and change, it’s a fantastic kite!

So my score is against the reliable Delta.Delta flies in a lighter air, its more stable, flights at a steeper angle.but this is fun.Wish the line that came with it was longer, but it works fine if you just want to pull something out quick spend a few minutes putting together and flying in reasonable air.it actually does well in wind above when the delta gets Funky, but its noisy as hell and kinda annoying since it flies kinda low. so people 200 feet away have this buzz bomb 30 feet above their head.but that is fun for kids too...whatever I got my moneys worth, it might work the next time i get to the beach on a windy day and its in my bag.my kids are terrorists to anything colorful.have fun:)

Great kite but it was much smaller than I expected.

Imagine you’re a rabbit, mouse, vole, what-have-you, and you look up to see a raptor-shaped silhouette overhead. You’d leave the area as fast as your fuzzy little feet could take you. That must be why I’m standing in the middle of a bunny-free zone whenever I’m flying this fun kite. It’s big enough to scare the little dickens and fun enough to keep an old guy (me) coming back to fly it again. I remember kites from the middle of the last century: one crash and you’ve got a handful of broken sticks and torn paper. This kite is made of sterner stuff. Synthetic fabric that rattles crisply in the breeze, plastic, nylon or maybe carbon-fiber frame pieces (I don’t know what they’re made of, they seem unbreakable), taken together this is a kite I can toss in the trunk fully assembled and it’s ready to fly when I get to an open space. It’s inexpensive enough to make you start thinking “collection” when you look at what’s available these days. It says it needs moderate wind to fly and in my experience that means over 10 MPH to get it to stay up. 15 MPH and up winds will make it zing and it’ll pull hard enough that you’ll wish you had a kite reel with it. But maybe you’re hardier than I. Small children may prefer something that doesn’t pull as much in a good wind. On the other hand, this kite can be part of a family bonding experience that’ll create fond memories. That’s worth a few dollars, eh?

Size and colors are as advertised. I love flying kites and actually use fishing poles to reel my kites in.

This is a pretty nice kite, very nice looking in the air, with a nice spiraling tail. It was only flown a few times, but seemed to fly fairly easily and well, with some diving tendency (wouldn't be hard to add a little weight at the bottom if it is needed). Unfortunately, the second time flown by grandson, it broke. He said that it hit the ground (couldn't have been very high). Examination found a broken piece of strut - cracked and wobbly. A couple of spare struts are included. Great! But, they are apparently wing struts and the center line strut is thinner, a different size, so the spare wouldn't fit into the center ferrule. Okay, no problem, surely they have some customer service....right? Well I see no way to contact them here, including at the Amazon Hengda Kite store. But a google search for the company did produce links to their home site, which had contact info, including an email address (a little odd, [email protected], but that is the email domain for China, Outlook accepted it and sent the message w/o problem). So I send them a nice email with order number, explaining the problem, telling them I'm not seeking to return the kite but asking if they could simply send me a replacement thin strut so I could fix it. Alas! No response! What can you do? Fortunately, Amazon immediately accepted a return for a full refund. Moral of the story: Companies with better customer service should get your business. A similar kite company (of interest, using packaging identical to Hengda) here at Amazon is Mint's Colorful Life. I don't see their contact info here either, but it is on their site and they are very responsive. They register your purchase and extend their one year warranty. Their Eagle kite is great for young children! Oh, and their kite string is superior to that of Hengda, stronger and longer.

So far this looks great.

Love it, I love flying kites. It super cool and comes with extra sticks just in case I break one. Awesome purchase definitely recommend
