    Attending the Mile High Kite Fly at Beech Mountain, NC. Too busy flying kites and being with friends to notice the forum was down. My bad.

    Just wanted to share the news from the Mile High Kite Fly at Beech Mountain, NC. There was a kitebuilder's comp there this past Saturday (Labor Day weekend). My modified edo, Koi Pond, took first place. And Esinger's Brasington 3/4 Stealth delta took second place. Winds were too light to get a decent flight picture so I'll add one we took before leaving for the festival.

    Just got home from the Keystone Kiters Summer Kitebuilders Workshop. We made Mike Mosman's modified Edo. It was a great learning experience in some new techniques. Not mention I've now got a great new kite.

    I have to agree. Take the leap and make a kite. I've made several kites over the past few years and eacjh one is special in its own way. I usually make single line kites and applique an image or design on the sail. I made a quad line kite to go with a specific routine I performed at our local kite festival. I have several plans on my list to make in the future. Kite Plan Base (www.kiteplans.org) has old plans, new plans and plans from around the world. And there are several kite-making workshops during the year. GO FOR IT!! MAKE A KITE!!!!!!

    Last weekend I attended a kite building workshop lead by Robert Brasington. Over the two days I completed building a Stealth Delta kite. It was a great weekend learning his techniques for building and spending time with other kite builders and friends. I also purchased the kit to make the Brasington Batty Boy train. That will be my winter project. If any of you get a chance to attend one of Robert Brasington's workshops, jump on it. No matter how experienced you may or may not be, it will be worth it.

    Welcome to the group. I've been to Wilson several times for various fine art exhibitions. Live in Morehead City and fly at Fort Macon and Atlantic Beach. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

    I use 50# for my light wind kites, 100# for my mid-range kites, and 150# for my stacks. I don't fly in high winds. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

    Is anyone here following and building the Phoenix from the kitebuilders site? I'm just interested who's with me. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

    Mike - I tried to find your FB post but couldn't. Apparently Joe may not want his conversation to become public knowledge. Or I was looking in the wrong place.

    I've made two Dunton Taylor box deltas and am plannning the colors for a third. When the wind is too low for any other kite, my DTs will go up and hang in the air. Love this kite.

    Just out of curiosity, how many members are still active whose member number is below 500?

    I don't know the Gina who has signed up for the clinic but I'm beginning to feel sorry for her with all the team and indoor testosterone I'm seeing. [emoji38] Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

    I like this idea. Especially for the bottom triangles.

    I had mine as a single line and almost decapitated myself. Hoping this will be safer. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

    I just finished making quad handles for my Lee Sedgwick UFO. Does that make it a quadline kite and do I add it to the quad count?

    That's right. Red, white and black are for you. I get the red, white, black and grey.

    Your colorizer is just too much fun to play with. I just can't make up my mind what I like best. There's more to come I'm sure.

    I bet, because of the snow, flying on a warm sunny beach is looking pretty good right now. There's liable to be a rush for those last four spots.
