P15 video

Ok, so I got the P15 out for it's first flight.. wind was pretty bleak, but there is no way I'm not flying it :D I was amazed that it was flying in so little wind. The "fabric monster" v19 would have been just a big pillow, if it even ever filled. I was pretty much croozing at 5mph til i got a "gust" to 10ish, weeee. :ticking: I was flying it on a 50cm zero7, but I really will need to get this on a 60... or 70:rolleyes: Also, I tend to look around a lot because I have to watch out for 1) dog presents, 2) sand castles, 3) huge f'ing mother holes that people don't fill in, 4) logs, 5) children, 6) dogs, ...

My camera was pointed.. a bit too low, oops. But hey, I had footage so might as well post something ;) Enjoy or not... there's some WSIKF picts thrown in for some flavor.

Also, I wish there would have been a bottom design. Pretty kite and all, but I don't get to see it!


Just uplaoded, video should be processed in a while, thx utubes.

I flew my 15 on that same size bar when I got it and got by ok. It is enough bar if you have a steady 10-12 mph wind. Now I fly it on a 60cm and that seems right. I found on that big long kite when I have to tug on the centers to get through a lull, I have better luck to allow more time between tugs so I'm tugging right when the kite flairs from the last tug.

Hullo seems the KK School of Film has it's first graduate :lol: Barely touched down before it was back in the air, eh? Good to see the Phanny getting some love!
