A fairly consistent Westerly breeze, about 10mph so full vented with green race again.  The stronger winds stayed to the south of the UK this weekend.

A short fly with accompaniment today and then we set about putting up some sections of the JMH Rhombus shaped kite train from 1985.

I have re-strung the fifth and sixth sets with 4mm polyester braid as the 3.5mm had been overstretched.  We only got as far as the three top sets today but even they needed an anchor point really.  The Eddy kite that I had made as a pilot for this train worked fine even if it did dive vertically down on one occasion.  The stack oscillated in its own rhythm with the pilot mostly taking a different line.

I have uploaded a short video here:-
