A bit of a grey day again but there was some SW wind and the drizzle I saw driving towards Blackheath held off.  I.5 full vents with green race were comfortable but mid vents would probably have been fine.

I had hoped that Jake would be able to join us today for the first un-wrapping of the JMH Asymetric Kite Stack 1995.  I had brought the kite along with some 2m lengths of dowel in case of breakages and as the ground was not wet and the wind speed felt low enough we did go ahead with assembling the ‘structure’.

I could not quite feel the ‘lift’ of the stack initially and while we did get two launches there was something amiss.  On reviewing the video it was clear that there was a configuration issue with the front set.  We had a similar issue with the Triple Malay stack on our first flight of that composition.

We have received the formal invitation to Cervia and some of us have opted for the early flight out of Heathrow this year as there was a significant price step already.

Scarborough is not happening again so we are looking at other options now to fill out the years events.  Billing near Northampton is a possibility even though it is the week after Portsmouth.  We might consider other events in the West!
