Carl,
that is one sweet ride! I LOVE the axle plates with the 'swoop' very very very cool. Have you tried the alternitive front forks? That is a elegant
way do set up a suspention system. As always it is a joy to see a
craftsman's work.

Well after flying Ozone Access's for two years solid, I felt I had been as far as I could with them, I still have them and will use them on gusty
offshore wind days....they are just brilliant in those conditions and can make a so so day into a great one.
I have bought a set of PKD Centuries, all second hand, and nowadays one of the older race kites, but great kites for learning the ways of the race
kite, I am loving using them so far, but like any race kite, loose concentration for a second and they bite you hard...did you notice in the video,
just after I ran over the Radsail buggy, I went for a little flight of my own....I was laughing my head off at the time.

You have set a standard that is difficult to approach in style and execution, thank you for setting the bar at a very respectable height so the rest
of us mortals can dream. Awesome, simply awesome.
we all believe is called the expansion

Second time out in the buggy and a new PB of 54.3mph....
account of the day here....well all 10 minutes in the buggy anyway
http://popeyethewelder.piczo.com/?g=46841259&cr=7
Tonight I put the new Beach Racer Tyres on.....they really are huge like Formula 1 wets
seen here next to a Euro Trax, I am a bit disappointed they are not the same diameter as the Euro's, but look impressive all the same

Wear gloves...Welding or Kiting???
Kiting I generally only wear gloves in a buggy when my hands are cold, or I know I will be travelling fast
Welding I often only wear the left hand glove and dont bother with the right hand glove until the gun gets too hot
