UFO-SAM Kite

Submitted by: MR ANDREW MUCHA (30/10/2022)

The Kite came and it was very enjoyable however it did not last long - the clips came of when it was airborne - and the stave ripped out of its socket I had a few weeks of enjoyment but I think it needs to be made stronger. I have repaired the structures along the staves. If this does not work ( hopefully it will I have used Gorilla tape) then I am thinking of ordering another one as it was wonderful to fly however will see if the repairs work out first. On the whole a great product my only criticism is that it can't take a good wind.

Response from Cochranes: Thank you for your review, Andrew. Whilst we don't know how strong the wind was we are naturally concerned that it should be stronger and that we don't know whether the repair has worked for you. We are contacting you directly to find out more and be sure you are completely happy with your purchase.

30 years ago I bought these for my daughters and they loved them. Now, I'm buying for my granchildren and I suspect they will trump everyting else Santa drops in their laps on the 25th. ps I'm tempted to buy one for myself; at 68 I reckon I'm entitled.

Response from Cochranes: Great to hear they've been such a hit. You're definitely entitled Mr Winstanley!
Best wishes, Tom Cochrane.

Even in a light breeze this kite will shoot up into the air and stays there, much better performance than the other 2 kites we have. No assembly required to use, just take it out of the packet.. Attracts a lot of attention from passers by.

UFO-SAM Kite

Brought for my granddaughter as the last one we had had for years escaped to a tree. It is very easy to fly, looks impressive and doesn't need much wind. Even the 3year old can manage it.

Response from Cochranes: Many thanks for taking the time to write your lovely review! We are so pleased that your 3 yo is enjoying it :) Best regards, Cochranes of Oxford

UFO-SAM Kite

Submitted by: Rosy (27/11/2019)

We had a Ufo for years - easy to fly and sturdy. Unfortunately someone thought a 5 year old novice flyer should be unsupervised and now the kite is in cyberspace. Ordered a new one and it flew here superfast. Thanks very much.

Response from Cochranes: Thank you very much for your review and good luck to your little flyer! Best wishes, Cochranes of Oxford

UFO-SAM Kite

Submitted by: Ms Heather Dalitz (20/04/2018)

This is such a brilliant kite - literally! It shines so brightly in the sunshine. It is also the easiest to fly - it goes so high up into the sky. What is interesting is that we have found that it has the opposite effect to a birdscarer - when it is flapping round in the sky so brightly up on high making its whirring noise it always seems to attract curious birds. We bought one, and loved it so much we have bought two more.

Response from Cochranes: We are delighted you are enjoying the kites!!

UFO-SAM Kite

Submitted by: Tony Falla (26/03/2014)

For a short while this kite was being sold in a small toy shop in Melbourne. I was given one for my 50th birthday fifteen years ago. The very first time I flew it I lost it because the string was not tied to the handle! It was an impressive sight whirring away into the distance with the weight of the string giving it support. My big fear was the string getting snagged in a tree because it flew over an emu farm and if it had stayed there aloft they would have gone berserk. After this long trying to buy a replacement locally I have located Cochranes and will be buying a replacement. It's that good

UFO-SAM Kite

Submitted by: Denis Riley (10/11/2012)

My daughter bought me one of these UFO-SAM's when I first started flying kites. They are well made and have carbon spars so are extremely light. A good idea is to fly them at night with small keyring light attatched to the line shining onto the ufo. The only thing that i found fault with, was it wobbles side to side in flight but after trying another few of them found out they all do the same. All in all... Brilliant fun and value for money.
