Red Sun Sunset

Date: 9/20/09 Sat.
Place: Cosmo Park, Columbia, MO
Kites: Echo on 12', 3d on 20'
Wind: 0.5 - 2 mph, SE
Weather: Cloudy, 72º

This was an evening fly with a nice very-red-sun sunset. The Echo faded well this evening and also did some nice graceful helicopter spirals.

There was a little too much wind for the Echo so I switched to the 3d. I did three 360s, but had to run rather fast to pull them off. I did a nice downwind glide. The 3d pops into a fade and then flies well in it, but doesn't like to fly out of the trick. This could be one of those "faults" of the pilot and not of the kite itself.
