HENGDA KITE-Upgrade Star Rhyme 48 Inch Dual Line Stunt Kite for Kids and Adults,Outdoor Sports,Beach and Fun Sport Kite,Handle,Line,and Bag Included

I have experience with small stunt kites. I bought this one for my son. Although easy to launch it is difficult if not impossible to keep in the air. It constantly wants to dump its air almost like the harness is tied incorrectly. Also, I know it’s cheap, but It could use swivels on the kite and line. Spend extra money and get a better kite.

Packaging and assembly were good... The handles and string were surprisingly high quality. For a beginner, it is likely this will be crashed quite a few times. In a hard crash, the spine rod will push through the tail pocket breaking the kite... This area should be reinforced before use. The construction and materials are comparable to much more expensive kites. My beginner was able to learn to fly this thing within about 10 minutes.

Cool kite, not really well made so completely busted in multiple places after about 5 flights. Flew on 2 windy days and a few mildly windy days as well. Lots of fun to fly but a bummer that the sticks holding it together broke in multiple places to make the kit unable to fly. Also came with electrical tape on the main stick, so not sure if this was bought and returned before or if that’s how the manufacturers design the kite? Anyway not bad for the money but wish it had lasted longer. Will buy a better quality one next time.

To be fair, I'm not making use of this kite in the traditional sense. On that note, it's cheap, but it's beautiful for my needs. I'm guessing she's crafted from some sort of ripstop nylon, though a propeller makes short work of that regardless. Not the point of course. If it's used as it's intended, she's as durable as any kite needs to be. In my application, I removed the strings, and custom built a gondola for it. It handles remarkably well, and looks relatively realistic when at altitude. It's also unbearably easy to assemble/disassemble. Yank two struts and she folds up for transport. On that note, I would be quite apt to recommend it. Whether you're using it as a traditional kite, or as a wing for an RC project, it should handle pretty much anything one throws at it.

Made of good durable material. It doesn’t fly though. Tried multiple times on 20mph wind days and it can’t stay afloat. Would probably be fine for the beach.
