Perfect to reintroduce yourself to the fun of flying a kite. Every 10 to 20 years or so I need to remind myself why I used to take the kids out on frozen lakes and fly kites? Who the hell needs a reason just go do it! In this two kite set is perfect. That way you got one for whoever you bring with and then the one you were going to keep for yourself you're going to handle the first kid that walks up to you anyways. Once kids see how much fun I'm having they always come up and ask me to fly my kite for me lol

The kite itself is nice and easy to assemble. It's not like your cheap beach shop kites with plastic material like that of a plastic bag, it's more of a fabric vinyl type of material that I would imagine and assume to be more durable and higher quality. It doesn't feel like it would rip or stretch out between assembly and disassembling and that is all fine and dandy.We took it on a beach vacation where there was always a steady wind and plenty of space and with a nice gust this is simple to get flying! I really like the idea of the spool but it's not perfect. Maybe that's just my novice kite experience since I was only used to your typical cheap spool where you have to keep twisting around the string to reel it back in.This spool has a nice metal clip to make it simple to attach and detach from the kite. What it didn't do was give instruction on how to first use it. You hear clinking as the ball bearings can shift around when just moving the spool around without operating it. That's normal and was consistent between 2 different kites from different companies that both seem to include this type of spool. You have to look at the handle that comes collapsed in the spool and notice a little spring. So you have to press that handle to squeeze that spring and in doing so, the handle will be able to unlatch and allow for the spool to be used. Its simple when you get it but frustrating at first since I had no instruction on how this was supposed to work.Additionally with the spool it can be easy to tangle because at least on this one there doesn't look like anything to help keep the string from unwinding on the spool if you ever get a moment of slack in your string line. So at the beach my wife was using this and for a moment that happened, more string drooped off the spool then the line whet taught again and the excess string got all bound around some of the feeder loop and handle parts making for a several minute struggle to untangle when we got the kite back down and detached.I love the idea behind this spool but maybe we need more practice to avoid that type of pitfall. It just seemed too easy for any slack to droop off the spool and introduce tangles. But all in all for the $22 price this is a solid kite and spool! Our kids are 4 and I would not let them try and operate this one without our direct assistance because of the size of the kite and nuances we experienced as novice adults with this spool. I don't have older kids but I would ballpark an 8 year old as a minimum for operating this on their own to avoid the spool getting all tangled up

This eagle kite is large. If is well made and durable. It was easy to put together. It comes with a lot of string, so it can go very high. It was easy to take apart and store as well. We have had a lot of fun with this kite and it has taken a lot of abuse. I would highly recommend.

I was completely blown away by this kite. Like I used to fly kites as a kid and they were the ones you paid a dollar or so for. So this one is like 30 bucks or more, so I get it. But I was expecting what I had as a kid, but this kite has a dang reel. I was so impressed. I didn't realize that professional kite flying was a thing. lol. This is a great quality kite and it is so beautiful. The only down side to it is that the reel tangles easily. But I feel like that might be user(s) error because I have never had a reel connected to my kite. This kite is superior to all other kites I have had in my life.

The kite has brilliant colors and is sewn together quite nicely. The reel winder has braided kite string that will not twist and a handy swivel for attaching to the kite. The ball bearings in the winder make it easy to wind and there is a positive reel lock to keep it from unwinding unintentionally. The only complaint I have is that the opening for your hand in the reel is too small for me to hold comfortably. That is likely as it is designed for a child, and I am an adult. Otherwise it is a fine rig.
