SSW at about 12mph so 1.5 full vented with green race this morning.  It was sunny and a mostly clear sky so I was hoping to do ‘something’ with JMH kites today!

After a gentle warm up fly it became apparent that we were not going to get a ‘full’ team by any stretch of the imagination.

As the overnight rain had soaked in and the steady breeze had taken any remaining ‘wetness’ off the grass it was only slightly muddy underfoot.  We staked out the Double / Single Eddy stack and proceeded to untangle the kites and tails and set the spars.  A third pair of hands would have made things easier but I really wonder how Jørgen managed by himself.

The stack flew very well indeed and we discovered how to take it to the edge of the wind window in order to untangle tails.  We did somehow lose a spar from one of the front kites but this did not appear to affect the flight of the stack.  There were a couple of issues with the threading of the replacement split rings and one spar pocket requires re-sewing.

I was able to take a whole series of images and have posted some of them on Facebook.  I’ll update the Decs Collection site shortly.
