There is a possibility that meeting a small group for outside sports activity will be allowed again soon.  The announcement may occur on Monday evening; tomorrow!

The Peter Malinski Hexagonal Train replacement sail is almost complete.  Just the centre fitting to cut and drill and the main flying line attachments sewn.  I’ll then have to fit the split rings on this set of 24 sails.  It will be a fiddly task but, I think, worth the effort long term for ease of attaching/detaching the tails on the field.

I am hoping to be able to get the 1992 Rev1/Zen project properly under way in the next week or so.  Then we can wonder some more about the merits of using longer handles for the larger sails.  I have always had to fly with more brake than many but can remember looping top lines around forefingers in order to maintain a required hover on occasions.  Not a great place to be!  The advantage of more brake for low wind flying did usually make up for it before longer handles were widely available.

Looking forwards to actual kite flying again soon!
