Hengda Kite 2.5m Dual Line Stunt Parafoil Kites Soft Stunt Kite for Beach Red with Flying Tool

we bought this kite a while a go and it has held up very well. You can perform lots of stunts and is easy to fly.Flying in higher wind speeds is lots of fun execialy when it pulls you across the ground. Great cool kite.

For a cheap kite we had lots of fun with it for a week at the beach. Winds were moderate this and one other stunt kite we had flew well in them. Others we had needed more wind. Perhaps not the highest quality but was easy to get flying and if put away carefully we were able to quickly unpack and relaunch the next day. As a couple other reviewers said, it is not the most agile quick turning kite, meh... We did use our own lines the second day as the ones supplied were a bit longer than we desired and did look a bit weak. We were also able to attach a centered 60ft tube tail on this kite which greatly enhanced the look and did not affect handling. Not sure it would be the best kite in higher winds, but a lot of fun for the price.

Nice kite if you know what you are doing. My 13 year old son got this with some birthday money and has been loving it. I had some old school framed stunt kites when I was kid so this foil type is really cool to use. Need to be careful with the bridle to not tangle and some other reviews complained that the lines are way too long…which is true, they do come way too long but fortunately humans invented scissors so pretty easy to fix and customize to your liking :)

Good kite. I was new to Parafoil kites and was able to get this up first try on the beach. Tends to get tangled easily. I have smaller stunt kites in past. Would encourage you to watch videos and understand what each rope is for. In strong winds the 2.5m kite can be difficult to handle if not experienced. To get kite out of air you need to steer kite all the way left or right and let it gently down.

I paid about $30 for this kite and for that price I have been able to have quite a bit of fun. My experience with this kite has been two trips to the park. The first trip ended after about an hour of flying with the breaking of one of the larks head knot that holds one string to one side of the kite. The forecast was calling for about 15-20 mph that afternoon. I don't know how fast the wind was actually blowing but the kite was pulling hard enough to make me have to fight against it (I weigh about 200 lbs). After fixing the ripped knot we took the kite for a second flight which lasted about another hour and a half before we packed up. This kite is almost impossible to launch alone in a park. At a beach with sand it might be doable. The lines on this kite seem unnecessarily long. I have been able to keep the lines from getting tangled, but if you are buying this for kids that will get frustrated easily with tangled lines you should do some more research before just buying this kite. It seems this kite needs consistent wind, if not it will tend to collapse on itself and drop out of the air. The construction seems good enough for what I paid, but if you are expecting high quality workmanship pay more for a better built kite. Also this kite turns very slowly. Having flown it twice and having had it break once I don't know how long it will be before it breaks again, but I have enjoyed flying it. PROS: This kite has made for some fun trips to the park at a cheap price. This kite would make for a great teaching kite CONS: The kite lines are very long and will probably get tangled easily Mine broke the first time out but it was easy to fix This kite turns very slowly and tends to collapse when the wind slows
