First Flight For Night

Date: 10/5/2011 Place: 100 Acres Park, Moorhead, MN Kites: Rev 1.5-b "Sunset" 4-wrap on 75' Wind: 8 to 16 mph (gusty), S Weather: Mostly Sunny, 88º (Hot!) $322/flight

Sunny, but hazy, and very hot for October. This was the debut of my new "Night" Rev 1.5-b Vented kite. I think I will call this kite "Sunset" because of its colors. This was very fun to fly! The kite, even with 4-wrap spars flexes a lot more than the Rev with a Super Leading Edge. The vents made for less pull and softened up the gusts. The flex allowed for greater precision and control, more forgiving on the inputs. And it's very pretty (Shiny)!
