Well, we got our first day of flying in today, after the really poor showing yesterday. It's hard to fly a kite in literally no wind.
Of course, our new Horvath .200 zero wind kite came today. Figures.
More on that later.
Today was a different matter.
With a decent wind from the east, running about 15 mph, it did two things.
One, it got us in the air.
Two, it dropped the temp to around 28 degrees with the wind chill.
Which all told made for a kind of short flying session.
I did get to try out the new Xkites Stunt Diamond.
One word describes this kite.
Fast.
Ok, it spent a lot of time on the ground.
But it got there really quick.
Guess I am gonna have to spend some time with that one.
I must say that Xkites builds them tough.
If you get a chance, add one of them to your collection. I just happen to know where you can get one.
Hint.Hint.
On to the new Horvath Zero Wind Kite.
I got it into the air briefly out in the front yard before we went to the kite field.
This one just wants to fly.
Literally.
Can't wait till the next no wind day.
When was the last time a kite flyer got to say that?
