Pursuing the Elusive Half-Axel

Date: 2/27/09
Place: Cosmo Park, Columbia, MO
Kites: E2 on 85' lines
Wind: 2 - 7 mph, N
Weather: Cloudy, 35º

The lighter winds were nice. I had several mostly in-control fades, the best yet without someone (Jeff) launching the fade for me.

I tried to do a half-axel where the kite flys horizontally across the wind window, then axels 180º before flying horizontally back in the other direction. But the elusive half-axel could not be found at all. I'll have to hunt for it again another day.
