HQCalypso 2 Stunt Kite (Radical)

I bought this as a precursor to a holiday down in Devon and was really pleased with it. It is a typical stunt kite so quite difficult to fly unless there is plenty of wind (not really a problem in Devon). It is very sensitive to pulls on the string but I would say this is a good thing and the string itselt is generous and gives you 40m i would estimate. The actual structure of the kite and the integrity is exceptionally good and it all folds down into a neat carry case that fits nicely in the boot of the car. There is also a tail with the kite which is 4m long and adds nice colour to the main kite and flutters nicely in the breeze which my son absolutely loves. There is something fantastically simple and yet enjoyable about flying a kite and its a great kids toy as it gets them out of the house, enjoying the fresh air but doesn't necessarily mean you need a lovely hot sunny day to enjoy being outside!The third party seller was really quick and efficient in despatching this product and I would highly recommend them!

Was a disaster when we first tried using it in moderate and variable winds in a local park as it just kept crashing, and each time needed to be reassembled. On a windy beach, however, it was transformed - very controlled/precise and a lot of fun. Not too powerful so my 9 year old was always in control. But it is fast and needs careful use if there are other people around.

Well... like the other reviewers have stated, the instructions for this kite ARE NOT WITH THIS KITE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazon please listen to your customers!!!! Whoever is responsible for making sure that this kite goes out to the customer with the correct instructions....PLEASE DO YOUR JOB!!!! This is the first time that my daughter and I ever flew a kite such as this one so we had no idea how it should be done and without the proper instructions it was trial and error. However, we did eventually figure it out (with some help from the little picture!) and the kite flew beautifully! It was a challenge and what great fun we had flying it!!!! My daughter loves her kite! This kite is strong and well made and should hopefully last us a while!

Bought this for my nephew who is eight. We got it flying in the air in no time. The sea breeze made performing tricks quite easy. Very strong kite.

It's good quality material, however every time the kite came down, the whole thing came apart and I had to rebuild it which is pretty annoying... But it didn't break even after taking quiet a beating hitting the ground... so all together I'm happy with this product

Took us a while to get to grips with this but realised there wasn't enough wind. Once we learned the basics, it worked really well. Very robust. Comes without a tail so buy that separately if you want one.

I agree with all other reviewers. The instructions provided are not relevant to this kite. I received circular kite handles that have no stop mechanism like a traditional kite winder handle has. They also don't fit in the kite bag. Did anyone else receive the same handels?

Instructions didnt help much but picture did. Not as easy to fly as a single string kite I already have but maybe thats me having bad skills or putting it together wrong! I would have liked more control line length as hoped for double what was provided and I think getting more height would make flying it easier and a lot more fun. Not bad for the money but a bit disappointed really.
