This review is from: XL Sport Dual Control Nylon Kite: Orange by X-Kites (Toy)
I have some experience kiting and wanted to get a cheap beater kite to help my 7 year old daughter learn to fly a two line. I think deltas are easier to learn on than soft kites but they are easier to break.
This kite flies well and is pretty hardy. For the money I would say it's a good beater kite. We changed the lines to 100 pound dyneema and it improved performance quite a bit. The handles that come with the kite can be frustrating to use. If you don't want to spend money on lines and straps, I would suggest measuring 50-75 feet of line from each handle and tying it off to the handle. This will save you some head ache when setting up the kite. This kite is not going to do crazy axels or flic-flacs, but it turns well, has a big window and flies in a decent wind range. It will help you learn the basics of launching and controlling a two-line kite. WARNING: This kite will probably lead to other kites.

This review is from: XL Sport Dual Control Nylon Kite: Orange by X-Kites (Toy)
After having flown this kite in several different wind conditions, definately opt for 7+ mph winds -- 3-5mph just isn't quite enough. You'll know if theres not enough wind, it seems like it doesn't want to cooperate and is hard to control which is not the case with a bit more wind. We went to the coast where it was about 15mph and had a blast. Easy to control once its in the air. Only thing I would recommend is for long term flyers, invest in some flying straps, it makes it a lot easier on the hands.

If you like frustration and people looking at you like you're an idiot then this product is for you. I would definitely not recommend. I never got it to fly more then 3 seconds.
