Do you need 2 people to get this kite to fly? I have a Easy Flyer that we love for the ease of use, how easy is it to fly this Bird for a first timer

The kite can be easily flown by one person. You need winds around 10 mph. I literally just let the string out and the kite goes right up in the air. It looks great and is great for a beginner. It also catches enough air that you can hang some lightweight laundry from it. I bought a spinner that I hang on the string and it works great.

It was a chore for me to fly. I'd recommend a double axis mini quad. There $20 and up. My 4 year old has no problems with hovering.

actually it's more like a toy. pulling strength is not enough to kitesurf or whatever. dvd is 5 minutes long and shows kite start and basic navigation rules. also it says that it could put you on your feet while sitting but it should be too windy to make this happen with b2.

The previous poster is correct it doesnt fly per say but you will get good air and it will float just off the water for a second or 2 during hard cornering. Also it is extremely stable up to the edge of sanity my 2 small kids (6 and 9) love it more than a tube cause of how stable it is.

It is super easy to put up and take down, kind of needs two people though but one person could do it with a little trouble. But overall I love the tent. It is spacious and has a floor and comes down pretty far in the front. Takes about 5 min to assemble and take down once you have done it one time to figure it out, very simple with just three poles ---- two long ways down the side and one long pole to go side ways at the top and that it. The poles fold of course for easy storage back in the bag --- you have to fold the tent really tight to fit back in the small bag but is doable. Hope this helps!

This one may be a little lengthy for that age as a first model. I would recommend something like a Revell Spitfire, or one of their other smaller, Vintage birds. Minimal pieces, and a little soft on the wallet in the event that they lose interest. If they show a liking towards modeling, perhaps purchase this as a second kit.

Yes, with a little practice anyone can fly this... One nice thing about this copter is that it is so light weight, that it has very little inertia so crashes cause little to no damage. This is a great copter to learn on.

I own three Champs, I fly them outside all the time. I have flown them in 12 mph winds, not an easy task and I do not recommend it but can be done. I suspect the Duet with twin motors could handle some fair winds. the issue is it does not have a Rudder which will make turning most likely have to be wider,,,thus the wind may push it around more than the Champ.

Yes, very cool little toy, i have 13-8- and 5 year old children and they all really enjoy playing with it. Not really strong enough to hurt anything but easy to learn how to fly.

This helicopter is easy to fly, for someone who has much practice in flying a helicopter, up & down, forward and backward, left and right. I am not surehow easy it is to fly for someone else. I would recommend a flying simulator, first. Otherwise If you know how to replace parts, you will be busy. The rotor speedis slow enough to not be very dangerous. This is called fixed pitch helicopter, which means rotor speed make the helicopter fly.

Very easy. If you are uncertain, I would recommend a practice set up prior to your trip. This tent truly is a one person tent, so if you plan to have another person share you will need something larger. Also, I use an a battery operated twin air mattress that pretty much fills the floor space. Makes sleeping comfortable as hell!

Oh yeah. It's ready to go straight out of the box, and has only two controls -- up/down and forward/backward (oh, and turning). Adult or child, it takes a little getting used to getting it to fly evenly, but I've crashed mine 100 times without a scratch on the toy or the wall/ceiling/whatever.

It takes 2 people to put it up without a major hassle. You could go it alone if necessary (and no weights involved) but you have to shift from corner to corner to pull it out evenly and it takes awhile. Two people & it's a simple maneuver that takes a lot less time. I'm 5'9 and fit and I find it difficult.

We had this tent and it was cheap. Broke after the first gust of wind. But as far as setting it up, it was super easy. If I remember correctly, all the pieces are labelled.

I suggest the first time to have 2 people. Returning home, I set it up by myself in the yard, also female 5'7". Taking it down is a littile more problematic. Never really got it in the bag, but do have it compressioned strapped in the bag.

This is a complete ready to fly RC plane. It is geared for the new flyer and the only thing extra you might need is a couple more batteries. I would recommend that you learn on a simulator and practice. Have a ball you will enjoy. If you have problems flying the first few times, spare parts are available. So to barrow the commercial, "just go do it".

Joe, we fly this mostly on land and let it land by gliding on grass without wheels attached and that's far more stable than the little wheels on road. It will land well on water. Taking off from water works well too but you need an absolute flat surface and some practise. It will occasionally tip over so when you begin you need to be ready to catch it from a canoe. It doesn't sink so when it does that and you catch it within a few minutes it will dry well and fly on. Enjoy, we have lots of fun with this little flyer.
