Yeah, an Eastern European ballerina with a glandular condition :lol: great fun! Though I'm paying for it today - everything is sore. Apparently there are muscles under the flab ...!

I read your blog last night. Good stuff there. Wish I thought of doing something like that.

Like the vid and the kite. Already has me looking out the window wanting to get to the field.

12 knots was forecast, and I reckon it was about that when I arrived & the wife took the movies. Then she went for a walk and the wind picked up to around 18 to 20 knots. The jumps actually got much better then and the scuds wilder :D
The noise surprised me, I don't remember that with other kites but it looked to me like only 1 of the intakes opened properly - I guessed the other 2 were closed cos of static cling or something - the kite is still super crispy!

The camera was the wife's birthday Xacti CG11 ... I'm pretty impressed with the wind NR and the video quality but the photos are pretty bad. Scaled down from 10Mpx though, they look ok :D

That was 2 min. better spent than at work, so I figure I owe you about .62 (cents) US, payable when you stop by on your 'garden tour', whenever that happens! That kite was Screamin'/groanin' (for mercy?:smilegrin: )

Yeah only one of the intakes was all filled out, the other two sort of hung around crinkled up in there ... guessing it's static cling cos the kite is so crispy. Filled up fine so I left it but I'll have a fiddle next time I fly ...

I was getting good at the buzzes :D one clip at home I didn't include has the kite skimming millimeters off the ground :lol:
