Yahoo! Northwest rules.

No worries RC! Fly for the enjoyment, and the first chance you have to hang out with other "pros", you'll get WAY better... Just enjoy it, and seek others.

Not an uncommon thing... All my Sea Devils have those cuts, but they don't spread or get worse, in my experience.

Sweet... iQuad will thrive on the "lake flying"!

Aye aye! Working on the first update as we speak... Photos, video and highlights from day one of our coverage.

Right-o... In Des Moines now, unpacked in the room. Forgot to unlock issue 50 of Kitellife before I left, it's available now. http://www.kitelife.com/archives/issue50

Just a heads up folks... We'll be doing daily updates from the 2006 AKA Grand Nationals and Annual Convention this October 2nd through the 7th...

I'd love to meet you! See you all on the field.

You could put small dacron pigtails on the spectra bridle, near the line attachments... These will provide a bigger knot to work with.

Thanks Dean!

*chuckle*

Try Kitelife issues... After the event reports, under coming events... "Festival/Comp Schedules" Never mind the actual coming event articles themselves. Sorry, had to needle ya.

Indeed, treading water on my workload at the moment. The contest will go through October 1st, and I'll review them all after I return from AKA Nationals on 10/8... At that point, we'll choose a winner. If yours is chosen, we'll work on modifications afterwards. Thanks for checking in.

Wow, FOUR indoor competitions... Lots of points to be had!

I'll be there 10/1 to 10/8... Staying in my room, the Geezer and a Monkey. We'll be working as a trio on the Kitelife daily updates.

Shannon doesn't get to fly a whole lot, but loves it when she gets the chance.

The problem I'm running into is time limitations... So much on my plate right now, I don't see having the time to do this myself until December. If one of you can do the actual set up, I'll be happy to take a look and put the Kitelife stamp on it if it meets my approval. I love the chat idea, just having trouble getting around to it.

Yes Penny, you DID win a UFO... Listen for the phone call.

Hi Paolo! Wondered where you've been, during the last couple of San Ramon events... Great to hear you're back, looking forward to flying with you again.

Got your email... I'll check FTP tomorrow, thanks. Was sitting at the ferry terminal on Whidbey Island (WA) on my way back from an event at the moment... Thank god for WiFi Forgot to send this message while I was sitting there... Now it's Monday, trying to catch up.

Thanks hon. FYI ya'll, ShiningShannon is my sweetheart... And a pretty decent Rev flier too.
