flight of the albatross... er, i mean Peel

well after all the talk and questions i finally got that big ole' peel in the air. What a blast... my arms feel about 6 inches longer. the wind was about 10mph but inconsistent so i didnt fly too long but still managed enough smiles to compensate for most of the windless days of summer...:wee:
i posted some you tube links hope they worked never did this before. it was also my sons first time with a video camera

Look at that beast! hot color too. I must admit though i would be a little scared with a 5m is it? 2 liner. reminds me when i had my little prism stylus 2 liner. i was terrified of how to get it down first flight. thought i was gonna take someone out. :bouncy:

it wasn't scary at all, as you can see she moves veeeerrry slow. and on 100ft of line it takes a while for your input to take effect. but man what pull...!!!
