Frequently Asked Questions
Peter Lynn calls these kites "small". But how can a kite twenty feet long and ten foot wide be small?? One customer said instead of instead of Small, Medium, and Large we really should rename them Large, Humongeous, and Unbelievable... If you want to see the Unbelievable ones, go to Peter Lynn Show Kites. |

Chameleon We've been tweaking the new Chameleon for nearly a year and are darned pleased with the result. A gaping mouth, lizard eyes, and a fanciful ridge-back are all interesting. But the curled tail is spectacular! And the colors shimmer in the sun and seem to change before your eyes. Choose a warm, cool, or rainbow Chameleon The size is about 12 feet long (unless you uncurl the tail!). Each piece is $450.

ZumZum: We've been looking for a fun and creative bug inflatable for years. And finally, at one of the big European festivals, we found him! Meet ZumZum, designed by Christian "Pumuckel" Laskowski and Alexandra Ruger of Germany. He's got big bug eyes, a happy smile, fluttering wings, and a cute little stinger. The ten footer is priced low enough you can stack up a swarm. Just $200 each. Or ask for the impressive 20 foot Zum Zum for $600. |

Sharky: Ludovico Bertozzi of Italy came up with this whimsical flying fish with the sad eyes and big toothy grin. He inflates through a small meshed vent in the nose and once filled, will hold shape effectively even in lighter winds. Sharky is big too - about 18 feet long. He is priced to fly at $350. Choose red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or purple body with either gray or white underside.

Second, the Caterpillar is designed to be children/abuse tolerant. There is nothing to grab hold of! We even let kids inside to look around! And finally, it is good looking. We can make any color combination you like in any one of three different sizes.

Most inflatables fly better with a lifter.That means you use another kite to provide a boost. For smaller and mid-size inflatables, don't tie the lifter line directly to the primary kite. Wind gusts or larger lifters may cause damage. Instead, anchor the lifter on one line, and the inflatable on a second line from the same anchor point. Then attach the inflatable to the line of the lifter using the "lifter loop" with a snap or other slider and let it float up the lifter-line. For more details on lifters, check our Frequently Asked Questions |
We've adapted the original designed by Rolf Sturm of Germany, and substantially reduced the price. You can now fly your own Fighter for just $360 or stake out a Bomber for $950. Both are available in one of our standard 'primary' colors or in a custom combination of your own design.

The "Meanie" is a big piece -- about 15 feet from his horns to the tip of his tennies. But his bulk and design details allow him to dominate the field. Check out the fashionable sunglasses, the confident glint in his eye, that dazzling smile, and the too-cool-to-be-on-a-kite footware. This guy is a winner! The Meanie flies best with a Pilot. Just snap the lifter loop onto a Pilot line and let him slide up. He'll inflate in the air for you. Available in your choice of colors for $1250.

Scuba Diver It's the flying scuba diver -- complete with wetsuit, flippers and tank--pursued by a shark drogue that also doubles as a bag. It's really amazing that he flies at all! Fourteen feet long and full of fun! Priced at $400. Divers are made in England by Martin Lester and a bit hard to get. We try to keep them in stock but will be happy to put you on our list if we don't have one right now.

Spirit Flier Here is an amazing kite for general flying or special events like memorial flies or night shows. Made by Martin Lester of England, the Spirit dances in the breeze with long, 20 foot extremities trailing behind. He (or she) definitely makes an impression. Priced at $400. each Spirit is imported from England. They are a bit hard to get. But we have several in stock.

| Just in from Hank Manseau: Spirit is probably the best-flying inflatable I have ever had the pleasure of flying. I typically fly it on 80# line and it is an incredibly graceful and efficient kite with a very good lift to drag ratio. I suspect the Brits refer to this type of image as a spirit whereas we Americans call it a ghost. I find that it flies extremely well from 7-8 mph to 20 mph. Beyond that range it becomes unstable. The bottom line is... this is a GREAT kite! |
They are remarkably stable in five to twenty m.p.h. of wind and remain manageable and easy to fly. The Octopus measures 20 feet in length and always generate smiles. Choose your color for $450. We also over a 12 foot mini or "Fun Size" Octo for just $80. Click here for more details.

10 Foot Kitty Cat: Technically, our Peter Lynn Kitty isn't a kite. She needs a lifter to fly well. But that doesn't mean that this ten foot inflatable won't be great fun to have around.
The standard design is black and white and costs $400. We can also offer custom pieces but only if we stay with the basic pattern and substitute in different colors. We don't recommend the pink or neon-green. After all, who could imagine a ten-foot tall pink cat...

12 Foot Teddy Bear: Here is another favorite from the incredible Peter Lynn. The flying Teddy bear is a big 12 feet tall and is a remarkably steady flier. Put him (or her) up in seven to twenty miles of wind and watch him float. Each bear comes complete complete with a "honey pot" drogue and sells for $350. Available in all primary colors or in our exclusive Panda Bear design.

UFO Flying Saucer: A high-flying, Sci-Fi delight! UFOs are configured to fly on a split bridle. They have a lifter loop on top of the dome, and a supporting line attached to the air-intake vent. But we found that in steady wind, they flew just fine off the two anchors with no Pilot at all! We make a five foot and a ten foot model, and plan a twenty-footer next. The smaller Saucer is just $50 with the larger one at $150. Choose your favorite "space" colors for major impact.
