Lots of Wind! (20-30 mph)

Date: 10/16/2011 Sunday
Place: 100 Acres Park, Moorhead, MN
Kites: Rev 1.5-b "Sunset" 4-wrap on 75'
Wind: 20 to 25 mph, NW, Gusts to 30 mph
Weather: Sunny, 53ยบ
$80.5/flight

This afternoon was probably the most wind I've ever flown a kite in. The Sunset vented Rev handled this wind with ease! I had the kite mostly under control most of the time. I even practiced hovering the kite upside down and sliding it in different directions without changing the orientation of the kite. I wasn't always very successful at this, but it was fun trying. Sometimes I flew it without any tension on the lower brake lines -- it flys forward fairly fast and makes a buzzing sound.
