Greetings from the Highlands of Virginia
After ghosting this forum on & off for a year and a half I finally decided to join this afternoon. I am pursuing my long time dream of learning
to kite buggy. Not too much kite activity here in the mountains of Virginia so I am almost always flying solo. I have a broad interest in kites of
all types & continue to expand my experience. Thank you one & all for providing a beginner with guidance & wisdom from the field. You
never know what you might post that will be a great help to fliers that never post a question or comment. I am active in a few other kite related
forums using the same name. Hope to meet some of you someday flying & smiling.

Would have loved to have tried my little buggy in Green Hill Park today. Had to stay at home so I did some line equalization chores I had been
needing to do. I have a new Power Blast 4-8 on the way for use as a buggy engine. Already have the 2-4 and a couple foils. My goal is to do it with
Rev power but I am open to anything in kites.

Welcome aboard! What a beautiful area you live in, a true outdoor paradise.
I know what you mean about being one of one when it comes to kiting in an area. I've brought a handful of friends into it, some of whom with their
own gear now but if I want to advance my own skills it's still up to me.
Nice buggy you have there, I'm still learning on mine. I mostly got started with delta wing stunt kites but would love to have a Rev one of these
days. I missed out a few of months ago on a couple in our For Sale section.
Good luck to you with the power kite progression, and don't be a stranger 'round here.
