4 out of 5 stars Need some patience   February 18, 2008
Y. Y. Chang (Fullerton, CA United States)
I agree you really need some patience to assemble the kite and it is kinda heavy to fly compared to other kites. I spent 15-30 to assemble the kite correctly because the beach was windy, made it harder to grab the kite. Because it is my first kite, i didn't know much about flying a kite, especially this kite is kinda heavy and tricky. it finally went up and it was a great experience. It needs medium to strong wind to fly it up, i will say at least 15 mph.

It looks good and durable. what i don't like about it i have to assemble the kite. and it is trouble that i need to take it apart and put the pieces back into the bag when finish, hard to fold and be organized at the same time.



4 out of 5 stars A Fun Flyer   January 12, 2007
John Hoffmann (Richmond,Va)
This is a neat kite.I have four very differant kites,from novelty kites like this one,to dual and quad line kites.It does take alot of wind to fly this kite,at least 9 or 10 mph,steady.But when the wind takes the kite and lifts it into the sky,it's an eyeball grabber!!The bright red trademark of the Baron,the very long tail,about 12 feet,it takes a while to carefully wind this up after flying(the tail)the Red Baron Kite.It's also abit time consuming to assemble and than dis-assemble the kite.But looking past this,it gets alot of attention,from the kids "Oh,Moma,look at that plane kite.Can I have one?" to the older folks who pull over,sit and watch,say "Now that's a kite!".I do enjoy this kite and would recommend it if you live in a place of moderate winds.


5 out of 5 stars The Red Baron Flies Again!   April 26, 2006

This is my first "expensive" kite and the reason I bought it was because I was so impressed by the colors when I saw it displayed in a shop, that I just couldn't resist. The price was good, but this site is better.
I must say that when I flew it for the first time recently here in Lancaster, SC, I was amazed! You don't need another person to help, just hold it up and let the tail take the breeze which will right the plane instantly in the wind. It flies easily and stable, and the sight of it flying in the sky is impressive, to say the least. It REALLY draws attention! One guy pulled over in a truck and said, "Now THAT is a KITE!" I have to agree with him - it's a sight to see!!



2 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY   May 9, 2005

This item is pathetically weak in high winds. If you are considering purchasing this product don't unless you are an extreme amateur or you just want a peice of junk. It is hard to fly and will not do you any good. It does look cool though.

This kite looks really cool. The design is awesome, and it's sure to turn some heads. The thing is, that it is hard to fly. When I was attempting to fly it with friends, everyone was able to get their kites in the air. The red baron on the other hand, seemed to be too heavy, and probably needed stronger wind.

I would suggest to buy this kite if the wind is strong, like on a beach.
