I only started flying the back end of last year,, so with the weather our way I have had very little flying oppurtunity
Yesterday was a "Better Flying Day" at our local field so took my son and persuaded my father to accompany me
I was the only rev flyer there for a while, and was struggling as per usual - I'm extremely guilty of putting far too much input into the kite and over doing things, then over correcting, well you get the picture - this way and that
Another rev flyer arrives, and I had dragged my father there to get him to experience the rev, and I ask that flyer if he would instruct my father for a few seconds
I listen to him instructing my father, and at the same time get a better understanding of the kite myself
My father doesn't get on well - old dog and new tricks eh?
He sets up with his "Night" rev half vent
I already had my Black Rainbow half vent out
After a while, he reccomends we go to the full sail
When he was speaking to my dad he mentioned trying to get the rev in a fixed position in the sky
I was practising this, and he gradually worked his way over
Next thing I know he has me doing rev pairs
I got such a buzz from it
I'd say a similar buzz as I got from flying a rev for the first time
I think I learnt more yesterday than I have in the last few months
Really forced me to concentrate on what I was doing instead of just standing there and trying stuff, and because I was overdoing stuff, not really knowing "exactly" what was causing it and thus not learning from it
We have the first kite festival of the year next weekend, at Calke Abbey, Derbyshire ( U.K.) and I can't wait to get out there and hopefully try a bit more of flying with another rev flyer again
