Clear blue sky with steady westerly breeze, probably 4 gusting 8 mph.  Wet underfoot to start but soon dried out…

Zens and CRs with green and black race rods mostly.  There was a bit of called flying but nothing too energetic.  A neat transformation from circle to vertical line and the reverse suggested a whole range of novel moves that just need to be ‘called’.

Once the ground had dried a bit I ran out a new line-set for the stacks, the standard 100ft 200lb (thanks to Vliegertak Kite Lines) replacing the shorter 300lb set used previously.  It was good to see the two four stacks flying ‘together’.  Still not so much for the fliers to see though!

The next task was to locate 8 sets of 1.5 ultra light/3 wrap spars.  With a couple of donated sets I was able to find enough bar one centre spar so I substituted a green race one for the front kite!  I hope to rig the 2008 JMH 1.5 sails to match the Rev 1 set.  Just need to decide on the appropriate link line as the kevlar cored pink polyester would be overkill… and I am not sure if I have enough anyway.

A longer session today, not least making up for last week.
