If you fly near dog-walkers, my advice is, once you`ve landed your kites,
put them away *first* and reel up your line *second*

Why? - dogs like kites  - especially ones with pink in, and especially ones 
lying on the ground ready for them to eat.

Don`t believe me? - ask two of my Flexifoils - one on a virgin flight! :(

Sorry, but I don't think there is one.  You can probably find a bunch of
information if you sift through the archives, though.  I know I've posted
of some of my Flexi-repair experiences over the last couple of years, and
that others were involved in the same threads.  Or you could just ask a
specific question and see if anybody knows the answer (and has time to
provide it... ;-)

Jeff

Open up the rear seam.  Repair damage with white rip-stop repair tape (shows
up less on all colours).  Sew tape in place.  Close back seam.

On the other hand...
I understand that Flexi do good repairs at a very reasonable price - talk to
your dealer.

Second rule, don't land you kite near your mother-in-law who is feeding
the seagulls.  Unless the kite is mostly white anyway.

There *IS* a flexifoil.repairs FAQ. Andrew pretty much sums up the FAQ in 
the few lines he wrote, but you can get the full FAQ from the hawaii site
as touted in his sig. If anyone has trouble getting it I can mail them
a copy.
               
I`ve repaired the kites involved in the canine encounter, and they both
seem to fly OK - but it will always be in the back of my mind that a dog
once ate them - So I bought another one to make me feel better :)  

I flew them all today but it was just *TOO* windy (25 mph) to fly them
anywhere but around the edge of the window, so I had to take a couple
out of the stack.  

Guess which two.
