With all this talk about the Phantom I have to give one a try.

I've been using Gimp Portable on the school computers and am actually starting to like it - way better than Adobe POS
BTW I love vectors so if you want a vector graphic that'll be a piece of pie ...

Yeah kamikuza, i use gimp too... i had a bootleg of PS CS4, i think, but it got a little screwy.... i just hate paying that much for computer software--- shoot me some of your work kamikuza, vectors are sweet

Thanks for the pics!!

I usually use Paintshop Pro for 'serious' work cos it's what I've used for ages - have done some texture work for game companies :D toot toot goes my trumpet.
Never used vectors in gimp ... will have a look ...

To put things in perspective, the wind that day was very low. That kite I'm flying with Angus and I coming towards Wexler (in pic 1) is a 10.7m PL Reactor. So that's 2 anti-skunk kites flying. The 18m Phantom flies very much like my 15, but it just needs a little less wind to perform.

Anti-skunk ...?

Go to fly kites and buggy but you don't get skunked (shut down) by low wind. If you can feel the breeze, it is enough for that 10.8. 4mph was plenty for the 10.7, and it seemed the 18m Phantom needed about 5 to get you moving and then it is on. With 4-5 mph winds every time I checked, I hit 24 mph with the big reactor and just over 21 with similar winds with the Phantom. It would come into its zone with another few mph of wind and the reactor would become too much after about 7 according to Angus.

You can launch the reactor 10.8 in 3-4 and get 4x wind speed. I have seen flags, streamers and wind socks go limp while flying it and still maintained 10-12 mph.
Tomorrow the Reactor heads back to The Hague. The PL folks are borrowing it to send on an expedition across the Sahara Desert. Swapping Jekyll and FLA sand for African.

But this is a Phantom Thread. I am really pleased with the 18m Phanny, galloping along like a puppy dog in low winds. Later when winds built to 6-8 with gusts to 9-10, I hit over 27 mph. Sweet easy kite.

Sounds as if PL is leaning towards a production run of the Phantom II.

how about this one
