Got this quad at the Kites For Cancer auction. Pd250 by Paul Dugard

I don't break duals down unless traveling. Loosely roll them up, put them in their bags and hang them on the wall of the kite shed. Yeah they got their own shed. From there it's 150' to the flying field if winds from the north. Yeah the kites and I are spoiled . Come to think of it got room for a few more.

Hi all, just popping in for an update... All the RV repairs and upgrades are holding strong - also put in new carpet, replaced the battery and a failing master brake cylinder, having a 2-way alarm put in today... Pretty much the last thing to fix is the shower, a couple of small cracks and some recaulking. In the meantime, I’m sort of scattered to the four winds with my various divided worlds: 1 - the family’s apartment (Luca’s home and some office tasks) 2 - the RV life (night parking, fill, dump, etc) 3 - my storage unit (other office tasks, RV storage) 4 - my father’s home (visits and parttime night parking) 5 - and of course, lots of upcoming travel by plane (storing RV, etc) Basically, draw a big skewed rectangle over all of Portland and that’s my map from day to day at home... No real efficient way to slice it all up, but I’m doing what I can. I’m not complaining, I’ll find a rhythm with all this but I wanted to inform everyone as to my status, and hopefully preserve the ongoing patience and support shown by all of you during this significant transition. Fly happy, fly well! ✌️

It’s the #Djinnebago, of course. Going for license plate KYT 4GE.

Sweet rig but I have to ask. DOES IT HAVE DORTS??? If not will they be custom fitted with your kite closet? What are you going to call it? It is a cool little booger.Calling it Booger might be a little gross though.Ooops wait it's "cool little bugger". Never mind.

Picking up this little treasure tomorrow morning. 1990 Winnebago Itasca Micro Spirit... Roughly 97K Just 2 owners before me All major service receipts since 1990 Rebuilt engine, tranny and starter Clean CARFAX She’s nearly 30 years old, I’m already anticipating some work ahead although she has all the telltale signs and records of having been cared for quite well... Looking forward to a crash course over the next week, regardless. 👍🏻 First priorities are to replace the propane tank and get a generator / solar combo to tend the RV battery, also have to have a kite cabinet / case built for where the “activity cabinet” sits in that diagram (currently empty floor space). Already tapped into (and visited / confirmed) an excellent Boondocking site on an old couple’s homestead about 30 minutes south of Portland, as well as securing RV storage to swap my car and RV in and out of as needed depending on what I’m doing (traveling or not). ✌️

I am flying to San Diego this April. I'm hoping to get away with bringing my Prism Hypnotist stunt kite as carry on. I know it is oversize for the overhead stowage on the plane. I was thinking that I could just keep it in the seat with me during flight. Does anyone have experience in this situation? If I am not allowed to do a carry on with this kite, I would consider a travel kite small enough to pack in my suitcase. In that case are there any suggestions on a kite that would at least do basic slack line tricks with out to much difficulty? Thanks!

Should be fine, those specs will allow you to place the tube ON TOP of existing luggage in the overhead - zero impact to fellow passengers and crew.

Ugh. What we don't do for our kit...family. Family. Yeah.

If you can break down the leading edge, it will be fine for carry on (easily fits above other bags in the overhead). Just make sure you don't try to bring any kite stakes as carry on, pointy ends and all.
