Batteries not needed!! I purchase this kite for my sons 9th birthday and I am blown away! "pardon the pun".
Firstly the delivery was fast, 2days on a before midday order on super saver, well done Amazon. Secondly the price, £12 wont buy your family lunch at McDonalds but it will get you and kids outdoors and having fun, Bargain!! Thirdly the quality, Strong and lightweight, easy to put together and easy to take apart, good portability but is "lengthy" when dismantled, I have a rubber band to tie it all... more info
First time fun I bought this kite as my first forray into the kiting world. Have since upgraded to a much more expensive kite but this kite taught me most of what I needed to get to grips with about stunt flying. I like this little kite so much I still use it, keeping it in the car for opportune flights. Very easy to use, quite fast, and surprisingly durable in strong winds. Get one! At this price they are worth every penny and if you can`t fly this - don`t bother with kites!
