Perfect for kids of all ages, this amazing kite will leave you spinning!
A truly unique kiting experience awaits with our eye-catching new Flip Kite. Based on a patent-pending design by Steve Wingert, the Flip's rotor spins its way through the atmosphere. Like a kaleidoscope in motion, the vivid graphics blend and blur, creating colors and patterns that can only be seen while it spins. Rotors are one of the eight basic kite forms, yet few have flown or even seen one. Rotors fly by spinning with the wind, achieving lift via the Magnus Effect.
As the kite flies, you’ll feel a pulsing at the end of your line while it spins above you like a mysterious, wind powered machine. It's easy to fly in a wide range of wind speeds, and the vertical ring acts like a stabilizing gyroscope making it rock-steady even in gusty winds. The magic of this unusual little kite will bring a smile to your face and stares of amazement wherever you fly.
TOM'S NOTES:

Took the flip rotor kite to Half Moon Bay State Beach, tossed it into the air, and attached the other end to a backpack sitting on the sand. It stayed in the air for about an hour that way. Made it easy for the kids to locate our spot on the beach as they wandered up and down the ocean's edge. The kids weren't the only ones who admired it!

I wanted a simpler kite to fly besides the Fokker Tri-wing I currently have. Something that would require a little less wind velocity, be a decent price, and have a different look than the kites I normally see. This Prism Flip Rotor kite meets all those. I took it flying the day after I received it, it launched immediately in a wind velocity of about 8-10 kph and easily stayed aloft. I received positive comments from passers-by. It folds up flat for easy storage and travel. I'm very pleased with it.
