Really hard to get camping/lodging the week of WSKIF. I'd suggest staying across the river in Ft. Stevens. We used to do that a lot and then drive over to Long Beach for the day.

Glad it arrived and will get some use. Give me a yell if you're going to WSKIF and we can get together for a fly. Not sure if JB has recruited you, but he's trying to get 100 guinea pigs for the mega fly. It should be a lot of fun.

Does Mario di Lucca sell the lights himself or does he go thru a re-seller? Would enjoy getting a set to play with.

Yes, it is still available. I believe it is an SUL, but I'm not the best Rev historian. If I remember correctly, I got the kite from KiteConnection/Dave Shenkman years ago. It is very lightweight - compared to other Rev's I've owned. I've only flown it a couple times. Right now it sits in the bag since I've been flying a Phoenix Ash for the last 3 years.

Thanks for sharing the reality of dual line flying guys - it is really helpful. I've been flying quads for so long I'm expecting dual line to behave the same - it doesn't. Maybe this is my wife's subtle way of forcing me to exercise more

Thanks for confirming this is just a skill thing - not a total impossibility. We've been walking forward to keep the stall at the edge of the wind window - sounds like we're going to have to move even more to hold it as we move to the center. Guess I better put my track shoes on

We've been practicing our stalls and had fair success at the edge of the wind window. We can even slide roughly 10', but as we get closer to the center of the wind window forward flight takes over and we lose the stall slide. We've been doing this in 10-12 mph wind. I'm curious is this to be expected (at that wind level) or is it just my skill are still sub-Jedi? I don't mind working on my skill level, but wanted to make sure this wasn't an exercise in futility at that level of wind.
