Had to try it..night flying!!!
Well i had to give it a go, i read that a few others do it so......
Holy cow Batman what a rush!!!
Clear skies last night, no stars/moon but reflecting city lights and winds in the 8-10mph range!!!
Flying at night is actualy quite peaceful...no one around and you can hear the kite move !!!
Give it a try and report back :wee:

Ya its a blast, only time I have done it though is when I found my Cult waiting for me when I got home and was to impatient to wait for daylight to
set it up and fly only about 5-8 mph wind however.
