31 Glides of March


West Australian

Recommended Posts

Ok, I have had an idea.

I want to use my gliders more, they are very easy to forget when I have wind to fly something else.

I have decided that I will glide Every day for the 31 Days of March.

I will focus mainly on my iFlite Family, But I will get them all out at some point.

Each day I will upload a new Picture or Video of that day.

I will also try to get a new location each day to keep things fresh.

I Invite everyone out there to Join in and Glide, then Post something up here.

Don't let the gliders remain forgotten.

So who's In, and who's interested in watching?

I'll give it a try. This may get me to finally attempt to take some pictures while flying. I will click away with a point & shoot hoping to get a few decent images. Before digital cameras appeared taking pictures was a financial commitment. Now we have no reason to shoot plenty & sort through them. When I first saw gliders I did not think they were for me but now I love mine.

Great to hear you are joining in.

Gliders can be a bit like that, they don't seem like much when you first look at them, but they can really capture you.

You are on the right photography track, I snapped a dozen or so shots to get today's one.

I decided to start out simple.

iFlite in my spare room, a small kite for a small room.

I got about an hour of flight time and this picture:

Sweet! Thanks for joining in dashgee!

Great shots, the stadium is a brilliant looking

backdrop, glad you had your kite with you.

Your backyard shot looks very similar to mine.

Well day 3 was a late flight for me. Well after dark under the street lights in my front yard. I got in a nice half hour

Nice, WA. I take it your new gliders arrived?

Here's a late post from my Day 1 (Sat).

Self-made kite from an AKA convention workshop. Glides pretty nicely indoors, not so much outdoors. This was the first time I decided to test it outside, and I may try it one more time, but at this point I think it will be an indoor only kite.

Joanna - is that one of Alexa King's "trash bag" gliders? I had one for most of a summer before giving it to someone watching at my indoor place!! There was a video somewhere of me flying it during the beginning of a routine last year at the Milton Indoor Festival! Not sure if it's on YT or not!

Hi everybody,

Oh, nice Plutz ... that's definitely on my wish list!

Day 6

Twin Vent iFlite #1428 inside on another rainy day.

Hey, mystainedskin, that video you had of your black and white rev this week should classify as a glider session with all the floating you had going there with your axels. nice job.

Thanks dashgee the P3 is an awesome glider.

Nice twin vent. I have not had the pleasure of flying one of those.

My pic for today is a family photo. I spent more than an hour wandering the house flying each of these in turn.

No inflight picture could capture them all, so I had to go with a group shot.
