Gear has been shaked down for problems and all is packed except the car. Moving on to re-stringing the seat for the buggy trailer and then off to
Lowe's to make another camera mount. It'll keep me busy but I had buggy videos playing on the big screen to keep me stoked :evil:cheezycheese - 8-5-2010 at 07:32 AM

I have 1 alloy buggy rack, good for 1 not too heavy buggy. It fits a 2" hitch reciever. I will bring it to sell if somebody wants it. Also have an
alloy tandem trailer w/ no seat yet. I was thinking about putting a window net for race cars on it for a seat ( I found em' for 20 bucks). I will
bring that also . So if you are in the need ,I might have your solution.Maven454 - 8-5-2010 at 11:34 AM
I'll have a PL Folding buggy at WW that will be for sale. $250 if anyone is interested.bobalooie57 - 8-5-2010 at 02:32 PM
I went to the runway today in high, gusty wind, mostly to try the Windskate with the buggy again. I did get it working, accelleration is
frighteningly fast, and even with a strop mounted on the cross bar to hold on to, takes the strength of samson to control. Some folks had stopped to
watch, but after just a few turns, I was spent, so I went over to see who it was. A local family, looked like Dad, and brothers, and little guys out
for a day together, saw me working the wing and stopped to watch. I told them I was new to the wing, I usually used a kite, and they wanted to see
that. I posted this here because I talked them into taking some video with my digi-cam, and ktguru wanted to see recent vids of us flying. The mini
OBE is thanks to a timely gust. I showed one of them (Jake, I think) how to fly, and that's him at the end of the vid. rocfighter - 8-5-2010 at 02:55 PM
Very nice Bob.
I wanted to fly today but 25-35 with 45+ gusts Tomorrow may be a bit gentler. So I may try then.kteguru - 8-5-2010 at 03:21 PM

Joecat and others- if interested i can bring my lcd projector and laptop and we could use it on saturday night to project some of the videos you guys

colored wall (or white sheet). Cant wait til thursday

Hey Power what happened, thought you were in there...?lad - 11-5-2010 at 09:44 AM
Power,
Tell 'em at home not to worry about you. You need to stay over with someone whose bringing his family. That way, the mom/wife can tell 'em she'll keep
you from finding trouble!
She can even borrow their hair brush, hickory stick, or whatever they use at home to keep you in line! :roll:bugymangp - 11-5-2010 at 09:47 AM

you wrap that around the lines or the kite itself? it looks like its just el wire...whoever said they wanted some this sould get get alot of el wire
and stick to the kite, down the lines, and around themselfs with the battery pack in their pocket http://www.glowproducts.ca/catalog/i190.html
also heres something else to think about(but it seems more expensive then glowsticks)
