Yeah it is...well technically from AliExpress. Same crap different pile 😂 surprised how well it worked. Even with some burrs on it and the two outer rods on the flappy bits flew out after a few minutes

Rock on, dude. Where I live in Indiana, we get a lot more wind at night, so ever since my friends and I were kids, we'd fly our kites at night. Our view was only a string going up in the dark, but there's no better feeling than saving a spinning kite by feeling the string flex and knowing which way to run. It's a lot of fun, especially when the alternative is sleeping.

That's pretty sweet. I have a two handled kite that I got at Costco of all places and will need to try it out. But it needs some strong constant wind apparently and the rigging is a lot more complicated than a simple string 😂🍻
