Special thanks to those who set this up, the land owners, and the whole town of Lowville who embrased the kiters with open arms!strictlycarved - 3-2-2008 at 08:10 PM

Its an Access XC 6m. One of the organizers let me ride it because my 10m was to but then I learned I was underpowered on it and had a blast on my
Speed.
Still learning to fly the speed though, I find if flies out of the PZ really fast, and I was having trouble keeping it in the PZ. I think I just need
to fly it more, and I was a bit underpowered at this point too.
The Turbines made the whole event so unique. To see the wind turbines and the kites together in a sort of tango of wind power was awesome.
They actually looked pretty short really. It looked as if it could snag a kite and take some unfortunate fellow for a ride. (The outside of the blades
moved at something like 130 mph I think I heard.) But, the general concept of them was that they were too high for kite lines to reach.macboy - 18-2-2008 at 01:09 PM

When I read wind turbines I though like turbines making wind for kiting. That my friend needs to be started!!! Like and indoor kite park, kinda like
the wave machines for surfers.barnes - 18-2-2008 at 07:51 PM
The only difference is there are possibly billions of surfers, and probably a million or so kiters.
