the giant, stable tandem kite in light breezes at incredible
altitudes.

-
The
Skylinks 4 Kite System is for all kite fliers... beginners and
experts alike.
-
Made
entirely from durable, high-strength plastics. Easy to
assemble...complete instructions included.”
The box includes:
All 30 of the long branches.
- 19
appear to be structurally sound.
-
10
of the other 11 have split or taped ends, and one cannot be used
because it has a crack in the center.
All
12 of the original short branches (2 yellow and14 white) appear to be
structurally sound.
All 19 connectors.
- Ten have 8 spokes and nine have 6 spokes.
-
One
prong on one of the 8-spoke connectors is bent (see photo).
All the original sails.
- Some
(the blue diamond, the 2 blue rectangles and 1 of the red rectangles
have not been trimmed.
- Some have old tape near the trimmed edges.
- The
directions (see photo) suggest reinforcing the edges with tape before flying
your kite.
The
directions are included as well as an amendment about the stabilizer. Corners
of the directions have been cut because they were patterns for how to
trim the corners of the sails where the branches would go through
them.
Add
on to your existing Skylinks set, replace missing parts, use the
parts included to assemble 2 of the 4 suggested kites, or design your
own.

profits from your purchase will be donated to a nonprofit for
