Has anyone done anything to reinforce the kans to the ground to keep it steady when the frisbee hits it? Thanks!

we tied rope around the cans then staked it down.. it didn't really work out so well. then later i found out at a local can jam tournament that there are rules in the book about the can falling over. so your not supposed to tie it down. a for instance is apparently if the disc goes in the top but the can falls over and the disc rolls back out of the top its considered a hit not a basket so its not worth three points. however i have used duck tape to make a little cross section inside the bottom and placed rocks on the duck tape so we could play on windy days and that seemed to work pretty well and it only cost like 3 bucks

You definately want to anchor this to the ground. It comes with 4 long U shaped spikes and straps that secure it to the ground. If the child swings to hard it will come up on the pavement. We built ours on the concrete patio and I tried it for sturdiness before moving it onto the mulch of the playground, it definately slides and the small end (without the house) will rock back and forth. Even now when I swing next to my son (he's one, and in the baby swing and I'm about 115 pounds) it moves a little bit and it's anchored in really good. This wouldn't deter me from buying it again since it isn't made for bigger kids (or me...) You definately want to anchor this to the ground.

I'd think that you have to put some sort of anchor on it unless you're throwing nerf balls at it. you might be able to put it next to a wall or put some weights on it to hold it in place. Never tried it but the grandkids loved it.

I would say the anchors are a must! I didn't anchor it to the lawn at first but with both my girls swinging the whole play set sways back and forth, it looked really unsafe!

good question! when you turn on the quad, you need to hold it LEVEL and it can't move around. this is setting the Gyro. since its on a bearing axis, it will swing around unless you hold the quad still. the box had a little clear plastic holder that you could sit the quad in when initializing the gyro. I just put the skywalker on a table or floor and stabilize a corner of it until the lights come on. I had the same exact issue you did until I figured this out :-) good luck!

I checked my son's R2 and it seems pretty much like you described. It also seems like those box-like attachments on the inside of the two main legs don't help getting it in good tilted positions either. I know he loves his, but it is more of a show piece, like his Death Star, than an every day active playing piece. He only plays with his R2 when he's showing it off to people!

I Dug my hole deeper and wider than instucted. I eneded up using 15 bags (80LBS bags) of concrete. I also added more rebar than what came with the anchor. Also make sure to dig you hole in a bell shape. Under normal play, we do not notice any wobble. More aggressive play (dunking, hard bank shots) there is some, but barely noticable. If you alreay have your system set, this is probabaly not much help.

place it on a carpet or something to keep it open. i use it when i play bingo and its on carpet no problem.

Place door of enclosure between 2 legs of trampoline so that there isn't any tubing along ground below the door. See Page 18 of directions. Our mat is rather sluggish and doesn't give a big bounce. Hope it doesn't get worse over time....

I have given my kuk hell and haven't had a problem. Call them and see what they say. It's possible that they didn't get the temper quite right on yours. Sounds like it's to hard if it's chipping or you hitting concrete or rocks.

No. We have not had that at all. We didn't use ours long. It's just too short/close to the ground.

after a couple crashes, stuff starts to get loose. First, try playing with the adjustable tension at the top that allows the blades to slightly sway / tighten loosen the screws to see if you can get it to be more balanced. If that doesn't work, Try tightening all the little screws on the body and if that doesn't help you probably need to replace that main rotor. It's being bent is also a poss cause of the wobbly flight.

I've never had that issue either, and I do dips on it fairly often. I will say when doing dips, making sure it's on a hard surface is important to help reduce wobble.

With the supplied bungee cords it will lay on the ground. It does help with spin as well.

I have never had a problem with mine falling over. Sorry I can't help on this one. Maybe the set is defective or not put together correctly.

Ours worked great until we crashed it way too many times. After that it would get more than about 6 inches off the ground. So if you have crashed it a bunch, that might be the reason why

Mine didn't move until the board was completely aired up! I was a little nervous to continue to pump it!! But it does start to work the more air you have in the board!
