KHK Skyscraper Dual Line Stunt Kite *Exclusive*
Exclusive to Kitty Hawk Kites, the Skyscraper Stunt Kite is one of the best stunt kites hands down for all ranges of flyer from beginner to advanced! Based off the discontinued Skyburner Widow Maker kite and designed by the same designer John Trenopol, this large size helps the pilot learn and complete advanced stunts. It looks fantastic and flies beautifully, not to mention it roars through the air in heavier winds, and looks best with a long tail. With this kite you'll learn new tricks easily, be able to fly in low and high winds, and show off to your friends like no other kite can!
Advanced or expert flyer? This kite is perfect for slack line tricks, complete with yoyo stoppers on each leading edge.
2021 upgrade - Still the same amazing quality in materials, with the added benefit of shock cord on the wingtips to allow for tightening the sail material and no end caps to worry about losing or replacing! (Upgrade not available on blue, red or orange 2020 models)

Frame: is Skyshark Carbon - SkyShark is very stiff, very durable, and very lightweight. When the pilot is making sharp turns or snapping the kite around to trick, it will hold its shape and not warp. The light weight of the carbon allows the pilot to fly in winds as low as 4 mph (a skilled pilot can).
Bridle: the bridle on this kite is adjustable. In lighter winds (4-10), move the bridle knot closer to the kite frame (up). In strong wind (15-20), move the bridle knot away from the kite frame (down). This might not make sense on paper, but when you look at the bridle, it should make sense.
Weight: this kite comes with a weight installed at the bottom of the spine where the Velcro folds. The weight allows the pilot to stall, land, and trick a lot easier by giving the kite a heavier center of gravity at the bottom. It takes some getting used to to fly with a weight, but it’s really nice once you get into it.
Yoyo Stops: yoyo stops are the small fittings that stick out from the leading edge of the kite between the upper and lower spreader. These are installed so that the pilot can complete a stunt called the yoyo, when the kite is inverted and the lines wrap around the kite (the stops hold them in place).
The included tail is 70’ long and 1 and ¾” wide. The kite can be flown with or without the tail.
