Subject: Bottom of the Line Kites (tm)

Hi ho,
Well, I've just received my first new kite for the year- a Spin-Off ( I wanted
something durable and cheap to fly on those occasional days here in Chicago
when one can lean back against the wind and not fall down). Anyway,
I didn't take a good look at it until I got home- and what I saw shocked
me- the quality of construction is the sloppiest (sp?) I've ever seen!
The stitching is uneven, and certainly not straight- in some places it's
even knotted up. The seams aren't folded under. In a couple of places the
cloth is pinched at the stitching- at this point I'm debating sending it back.
I'm not much of a sewer (as my various home-made kites evidence), but even
I could have done a better job- Is this kite a lemon, or is Top of the Line
Kites really "Bottom of the Line"?

Andre
