Flew some today

feeds@yuku.com (CorvetteKeith) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:39:26 GMT

We had a beautiful day in north Alabama today, mid 60's sunny and a good steady 3 to 6 mph so i got out and flew for about three hours. I only took my new collector Krystal FX, the Diablis and a Deep Space. Flew each one for about an hour each. I had a great time, I got the FX dialed in and it's flying great now. It had a good bit of oversteer when I first got it but a few bridle adjustments took it out. The Deep Space is new to me also and this was only the second time i have flow...

Randers Kite-festival, good family-time...

feeds@yuku.com (Blownfuse) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 05:37:03 GMT

Hi, Friday afternoon spent at the local Kite-fest, Randers Dragefestival. Great relaxing afternoon, nice weather, and my daughter had great fun flying her small kites. I did´nt get so much flying done, as I had hoped, since I spent a lot of time just enjoying the whole thing, Helping Dana (my daughter) and trying to teach my mother how to get a 2-liner airborne. But while I missed out on some air-time, I really enjoyed it. Well, today is Sunday, last day of the festival, so were packing some...

June 15 - just about right

feeds@yuku.com (bobdros) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 07:47:08 GMT

I took the day off on Wednesday to go to Liberty State Park by Ellis Island in Jersey City. I got there by 10:00 am because the wind was supposed to get up to about 11 or 12 mph by 4:00. I left my house at 8:00 and got there about 9:50. It was cloudy, high 60s, and wind about 8 mph. I started with the Fearless and now I know what people talk about when they "click" with a kite. It's a little smaller but boy does it cooperate! I'm just learning jacob's ladders and I was...

Picnic/kite flying...

feeds@yuku.com (OutsidetheBoxKiteStudio) — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 10:27:49 GMT

So the family and i went to one of the local parks to play, have a grill out, and picnic. We had all the assorted stuff for entertainment, soccer ball, football, basketball, Frisbee... you know. We had the grill stuff, food, and used the grill provided at the park, not a great set up, but good enough to cook some good food with. Should i bring the kite bag...? Well i had to bring the kites, even though the wind was iffy at best, "just in case"

Last Day In May...hot

feeds@yuku.com (Rliquidice) — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 08:54:39 GMT

We went to field yesterday and some of the hardcore bunch showed up on field. Wind was crazy changing from north to south in 10 seconds and the best wind all day was right in the middle of the lake! The only thing that made sense to us was thermals twisting like mini tornado's all over field Sunday.
We still got in about 10 hours yesterday and no rain so me and Keith did not complain a whole lot. Temps were in the lower...

Saturday @ the Wildwood International Kite Festival 2009

feeds@yuku.com (Photogbill22) — Sun, 24 May 2009 10:30:18 GMT

Well....I decided to post over in the the 'Kite Events and Get togethers' section ...and just provide a link here to my day of flying at the beach. It's a long post but I hope ...not too boring!

Saturday, May 16

feeds@yuku.com (sportkiteflyer) — Sun, 17 May 2009 09:55:06 GMT

Continuing this from another thread, the weather sure has been crappy and the forecast for this weekend promised not much change. But yesterday afternoon the sky miraculously cleared and I got to fly for a couple hours. It turned out to be an incredibly beautiful late afternoon with blue sky and puffy clouds and I was up flying on a hill near downtown Dalton where I seldom fly. It was almost magical.

Started with the Nitro Nirvana and after a while remembered I'd really wanted...

Utopia at serpong, Indonesia

Hi... this kite was brought by my friend, Nathan from China

This video & pic was taken on Saturday, I was practicing controlling Nasa for 2 days until Sunday... and I'm finally can control a stunt...

Finally I was able to fly Nasa kite in the air

feeds@yuku.com (sandhie) — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 20:00:13 GMT

Hi, everyone I'm a newbie... from Indonesia, just starting to love and to fly a stunt kites... even I don't have any kites yet :P

Just wanna share my experience here

Well, first I was trying to learn how to fly a Stunt Kite last Sunday, because of lack of wind, my friend suggest me to fly Nasa Kite, this was my first time, after about 15 minutes finally I was able to fly Nasa kite in the air... I'm so exited, I wonder is this will be the same handling like rev...

Finally got some flight time

feeds@yuku.com (Schook) — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 07:48:29 GMT

I finally was able to put a kite in the air on Saturday. First time in a long while. The wind was a bit shifty, changing directions from time to time but was smooth when it was blowing.
Here are some pictures taken by my daughter. (Click for more)

You will notice there is no snow...

Sunday evening with some new equipment

feeds@yuku.com (rw2) — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 17:33:43 GMT

First time out in about 10 days. At 3:00 pm we were getting gusts in the lower 20s. By 6:00 it was 1 to 2 and less. I got a new Speed Bag and a 100 ft. lineset for my birthday. Gotta love the bag. It's light and handy. Also expensive or I would've had one sooner.
The Nirvana sul was the obvious choice. I did'nt expect too much different out of the lineset as I've been flying 80 foot lines. But it was a positive experience and a noticable difference. It seemed to open the...

Monday - April 13, 2009

feeds@yuku.com (Photogbill22) — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 19:43:23 GMT

I spent a little flight time with these three kites today:

And yes ...the Organic did have a bridle attached to it (pics with bridle later on).

First of all, you might have guessed I started out flying my newest Organic build. It only took a few minutes of flying in some sweet 4-6 mph wind to see that I was going to LOVE this kite! Closet kite/kites it reminds me of are my...

Revs and mid teens wind!

feeds@yuku.com (bobdros) — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 16:34:33 GMT

It was sunny, high 30's temp, and blowing in the mid-teens today. I've got my Rev 1 Cool Sedgwick standard and vented in the trunk ready for a day like today. It was a BEAUTIFUL day for flying during my lunch break! I went to the local astro-turf soccer field, staked my lines from the edge of the field and took off with the vented Rev. I'm getting better at my inverted hovers and inverted side slides. With the wind blowing so good, I didn't have to worry about steady wind. It...

Sunday Fly

feeds@yuku.com (Rliquidice) — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 21:30:35 GMT

Had another great day out with club folks. Wind was up & down but we still got to fly a bit of everything.

Lined up.

10 kites below in one shot. ...

New fliers, high wind and good times.

feeds@yuku.com (OutsidetheBoxKiteStudio) — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 17:07:55 GMT

Not one but two new dual line pilots met up with me today at the Zionsville soccer fields for a bit of chilly medium to high wind flight.

Both Eddie and his son made it out with a new to them Prism Quantum. This has got to be the toughest kite in it's class, still to this day. Conner proved this several times, with good reason though. The wind was anywhere from 8-25mph and the kite can pull...

Gulf Vacation 09

feeds@yuku.com (Rliquidice) — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 18:33:31 GMT

Wow, where to begin? Had a fantastic 10 days of flying...no 9 days I was too tired to fly Thursday, lol.
Radioflyer and me met up down there and hit the sand hard and did not let up. High wind, Std. wind, low wind, no wind flying covered with complete arsenal in our bags!
The forum is about to be bombarded with Gulf pics as I have so many of them I ran over my limit per month on photobucket!
Not only that but RF has a boat load of them also on his camera. The beer was cold, the...

Did some flying Saturday

feeds@yuku.com (Schook) — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 20:16:28 GMT

Well I guess it must be the cabin fever or something, but I just HAD to get out and get some flying time in. Sat was the day the clear sky, wind, and some free time all came together.

So the temp was -5 degrees and the wind was 10 to12mph with some gusts at times and the snow on the field was anywhere from 12 to 20 inches deep. After stomping down a small spot to stand and get some type of foot movement I had at it. Well after getting a feel for things I decided on doing some...

The cold can be a pain...

feeds@yuku.com (OutsidetheBoxKiteStudio) — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 16:26:37 GMT

If it makes ice on the ground and you fall, it drives this point home all the more I would say the windchill made the temp near twenty? The wind was a nice 6-8mph, give or take a Midwestern margerin of error.

So i did get out for a brisk few moments of fun and the wind was so sweeeeeeeet

Did a little freestyle fly'n

feeds@yuku.com (OutsidetheBoxKiteStudio) — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 11:44:12 GMT

Yep it was just that nice. Though i should've been working at something probably, i found myself out at G-14 classified flying the charity AGXL today.

It had to be the combonation of non freezing temps and the nice 4-7MPH wind that drew me out to the field. I was going to fly the NFX, then i thought the AGXL would be better in case the wind was just that light, or should i say cross wind...

Single Line kind of day

feeds@yuku.com (nosediver) — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 21:46:59 GMT

I put up the HQ Flowform 4.0 today in 10mph wind. Was fun flying 2 50' TT tails with a 100' TT and 2 Spikey Balls as line laundry. Temps in the high 50's, a lot of cloud cover with intermittent sun made for a pretty sight.
