End-cap and Top-cap Lost

Date: 9/24/2011 Place: 100 Acres Park, Moorhead, MN Kites: Rev 1.5 "Hawk" SLE on 75' Wind: 6 to 11 mph, SE Weather: Sunny, 69º $28.67/flight

I had a little better control at hovering in various orientations. But, I'm still whacking into the ground at times.

Somehow the top-cap (dust cap) came off. When I tried to replace it temporarily with an end-cap, I dropped that into the grass and couldn't find it.

(Back home I bought some washers and o-rings to temporarily fix the kite until I can buy some stock replacement and backup parts.)
