First flight for 3D

Date: 12/28/08
Place: ARC field, Columbia, MO
Kite: 3d on 30' lines
Wind: light 3-7 mph (?)
Weather: sunny, sunset

I received a Prism 3d kite for Christmas from my spouse, Annett. This is a low-wind kite, and being anxious to fly, and having relatively mild weather (in the 40's), I flew it at a field next to the ARC (Activity and Recreation Center) in Columbia, MO. Not the best place to fly - too near buildings and trees that disrupt the wind, but close to where I live. But it flew, and I had a great time. I can tell that "modern" kites are a lot more responsive, easier to fly, and more fun that the kites I bought in the 1980's. This kite will have a lot to teach me.
