I'm visiting a kite flying cousin this weekend with 17 mph winds in Atlanta. Woohoo! Tridude has graciously granted me temporary custody of his 6.5 Blade and 4m Ace so it looks like the ace will be feasible if that wind speed actually pans out. The box is sitting behind me not yet opened. I was hoping for about 8-10 to try the blade out for the first time. I'll make use of whatever wind shows up with an appropriate kite. Beach trip next weekend, so I hope to get my fill (I know) with good wind and opportunity.

Just looked at our Saturday weather forecast: 20 km S winds. The best for Gerald on Boundary Bay. Too bad they are predicting 30 mm rain to go along with it.
:(
S



Is it possible to design for strength, if the designer doesn't really understand what strength is?

All of you guys have it too soft:lol:

Our weekend forecast is light snow(I love it when it falls horizontal) , winds 42-80 kph (20-50 mph), temperature a balmy -14C (7F) windchill -33C (-27F)

Nice and sunny all week though with temperatures just above 0C and nice 20-30 kph winds during the day but no time to fly. C'est la vie.
