....tis but a scratch! Sounded much worse than it was most of the contact was on the rig itself. Figured it would get a giggle. The win wasn't quite strong enough on the beach , so I was shooting a channel between 2 8 story buildings....makes for a fun ride in the dark with the long tail

So i got bored at work and made a no cost pivacet suspension rig from an old curtain rod. this was the test run on an ocean front parking lot. No aiming or goal in the video, strictly test run........ but got a crash on concrete This was attached to my Wala Xl with full tail.....dodging palms ,cars,light poles...lol stayed up for 30 minutes. This was the only footage lit well enough.

I did have that problem today after filling Pete. But once cleared it was fine. My taste changes from day to day, so its sort nice having variety. I found that once I got the Evic.... My voltages/watts went way down due to the fact that every coils is not the same, no matter what its labeled as. Now no matter what battery I am using...I know the correct voltage to match the coil in the tank im using..has made a big difference in consistency. 6 weeks today for me!

Ever use a cartomizer tank? Got this one the other day to try and actually really like it. Nice free and mellow hit,good flavor, no leaks,no gurgling,snap,crackle,or popping. Almost a whole tank through it of one flavor ...gonna hit some other flavors through it tomorrow.

Enjoy!

Cool! I use the app daily...mostly ikitesurf. The only downfall is most of the hot spots require monthly membership to view station data. I use the forecast option ALL the time on the free version. I will be running to get one just for &%its and giggles.

Pay attention if you use the chain type. I use this style when making line sets.... You may need to do some smoothing on the inside loop to avoid line damage. A small file,Drexel,etc. Works great.

I have seen some pics of the end results.... I meant to comment and slipped my mind. Being a rookie...could you not use a couple of wraps on the hook with one wrap back around the line? This is how I hooked my camera online and seemed to be fairly easy to dwal with and held strong.... I know the kite will be producing much more tension. I saw a video not to long ago on good ways to tie off large Kites..think it was Premier. By the way Rob, did those lines ever make it?
-
Took a Bunch of video again......some clips. Think im gonna wait to order my new one untill the end of the month....have the chance to fly some different styles of sleds and deltas, hoping for good wind on that day!
-
Np at all. Did somemore kap attempts today with the camera in line instead of on the kite, but alas, now wind and I got tired of running. I wish you luck on the next attempt. The wind forecast shows a shift later today with a more from the south than west here,maybe it will move northward.

Beach was packed here.....going out today Like the tail

Blue looks nice! Can't wait to see the yellow
-
I need to order mine...have some friends I met at the last local fly coming up the end of this month for a day of beach play. I would like to have something by then. They will fill the sky with theirs! You name it...they got it when it comes to lifers and laundry.... And plan on lots of video and pics. A kite show like that doesn't ever happen here locally.Atleast will have one to play and k.a.p. with.... Along with my Revs and Walas of course.
-
Np I understand completely. I will be posting mine tomorrow

There are regulars in St. Auggie. I only go there occasionaly so dont know the specifics of where and when. The local shop there has gathering every now and again.....just keep you eye out for info. I am in Jax, fly at Hanna park and Jax beach pretty regular. Just shout, we can hook up and fly sometime. There are a couple other Jax fliers on this forum also... Oats,oldcapnrusty....I think that's correct Anyways, enjoy...welcome....look forward to sharing some airspace one day!

Hi John... I posted on your original Facebook post, sorry if you have replied, as I have not checked it. Do you prefer single person videos.... Or could a group submit one as long as the format is met? Thanks.....Great idea!
-
Never met the man...but seems music seems to be a big part of his life. There's some samples floating around on the great interweb.... The Evokatones

I agree... I have pretty much settled on Gombergs Skyform mini for a starter and possibly a mid size delta at the same time. It all depends on the moolah available. I like them all and can see a longed truck full before too much longer
-
Woohoo! Ty sir. It's like Xmas Atleast once a month waiting too see whats next
-
And, the B-Pro raffle............I suppose there is just too much going on, at one time ! I would forget my kite......if the lines were not in my hand On my way.......
-
Would any local flyers or if possible Florida fliers like to join and make a video for IFlyKites ? It is a very simple process of stating your name and location and passing a kite line from one side to the other of the framed screen . Check it out http://iflykites.com/

B-Series Mid-Vent Package (8/25/13)
mystainedskin replied to John Barresi's topic in Current Drawings
Sitting at work .... Throwing bones and consulting the magical crystal bowling ball. Still no luck! -
I've been looking. Think I'm going to go with the SkyForm mini from Gomberg with the tail for a starter....and a little laundry play. As far as the camera part...I will probably play with that for awhile on my own. I've seen some nice set ups...and Robs GoPro videos sold me as far as ease of use...just don't have the moolah for that right now and I love to tinker, with the availability of servos and stuff from an R/c past.

a couple of snapshots from the video.
