Blustery summer wind on Blackheath today with occasional dark clouds spitting a few raindrops. Xtra Vents with green race were occasionally at the limit. I did not get to change to the latest refinement of close knotted leaders but adjusted an incorrect placed figure eight knot in the current set fairly quickly on the field. Knowing that a knot can be broken open with a little persistence helps a lot!

Having finished final exams at secondary school last week my son Rowan joined us today and flew an Xtra Vent on 80ft lines. This was his second time out with a Rev and he clearly enjoyed getting to grips with all the variables. Lots of testing of input and responses. He quickly found mobility on the ground... <grins>
