I spent some quality time the other day with my kites - unpacking,
checking them over and then repacking them away. So that next time the wind is
good I am ready to go with out any knots or tangles.
The need for this came about when I last tried to fly the
Blade, and I unpacked it to find the lines in a complete twist. I had quickly packed
it away the last time I flew it, ahead of a rain-storm and obviously hadn’t
done a very good job – then trying to sort it out on the salt lake with a
couple of beefy Rangers breathing down my neck was impossible!
All my kites are in excellent condition and after a couple
of hints (thank-you Bones), including one from the team at Peter Lynn kites I
found the Velcro to hold the bridles on my Core – hidden inside the openings to
the cells!

Now all I need is the go-ahead from the DEC, some wind and
we are ready to go…
Maybe a couple of vapors and a Sysmic S2, wouldn’t go amiss –
I’m not sure if my wife reads my blog but - hint, hint!
