1st Lumix Video

Date: 10/25/09
Place: Cosmo Park, Columbia, MO
Kites: Echo on 12', E2 on 85'
Wind: 0.5 - 5 mph, SE
Weather: Cloudy, 51º at 8:00 AM

I took some video with my new Panasonic Lumix camera of myself flying the Echo. It will probably be a while before I have a chance to edit this footage. I was able to do a few 360s, but there was really too much wind for the Echo. I wasn't able to fly into any fades, but flying out of them worked well.

When the wind picked up (4 - 8 mph), I then switched to the E2. It was unusual to "jump" directly from the Echo to the E2 without flying the 3d in-between. I had about the best set of flic-flacs I've ever had -- about 10 of them linked in a row! I also practiced my cascades a lot.
