Hi Hung,

Ken from Kingston here, i bought a bfk 21 from you last fall. Love
that kite btw. A friend of mine and I were planning on trying to
hook a kite up to his laser here in town. We were just wondering if
the ratchet block was strong enough to take the load of a big kite.
You had no problems? How did you attatch it? Thanks in advance for
the info. I'll have to give you a call one of these days, cuz i
think i might have to get one of those waroos soon.

Ken
