Hi Beamer, Nice to know another flyer is returning to kite flying, I am no expert on two line kites, but Kent Kite Flyers have sponsorship from KITEWORLD, their website is www.kiteworld.co.uk No d on doubt one of my colleagues will give you advice on two line stunt/trick kites Kent Kite Flyers are at Milton Creek Country Park, Sittingbourne this weekend, and you will find details under our Events thread. On 23rd September we shall ne in attendance at Capstone Park as the major part of teh Capstone Festival, details will also appear in the Events forum. Why not join Kent Kite Flyers as a full member, we normally fly every Sunday in the year, depending on weather and other events during the main season. We are like minded people who enjoy kite flying, whether it is single line, dual line, or four line. The exception due to insurance requirements are the kite flying which are classified as extreme sports, such kite surfing, boarding, buggying etc.

We have a couple of members who fly revolution or revolution style kites. Don't know that any of our folks have transferred onto stuff like the airbow, but Steve or Len would be able to help out with 4 line (non-power) kites.
