iFlite II Vented x Bunduki Vlieger -
This is about an Indoor Glider, Outdoors... I found myself on the field in zero wind, I am not much of a zero wind flyer with anything other than Gliders. I decided to try the iFlite Vented outdoors. I got out my little spool of about 5m of fine line and cast out about 3m of it. I got a great fly playing with the open space, no walls, light fittings, furniture. It was awesome to have the space around me to try something new. After a short while the Breeze picked up and I packed the iFlite away and went back on the Rev SUL. The following day I was once again on the field in Zero wind. This time I pulled out the roll of line I had cut the 5m from. I stared playing with the iFlite on longer and longer line. Getting out to 25-30m It was eating up the line and supporting it well on the glides. Then Suddenly I noticed a bit of tension in the line, a Breeze... Not a wind, but a light breeze. Less than 1mph. I let the iFlite float out in the breeze and pull more line with it. With some footwork and careful feeding of the line I got the little iFlite out on the full 110m. I staked the end down and stood back, Ok, where did my kite go? It was a cloudy day and I have a white iFlite.... The line I use is very thin 0.08mm (0.00315"). The line was not visible more than 10m away. After some solid searching the kite could be found, but it was not easy. It was surprisingly stable, it sat fairly still and maintained a slight tension on the line. I am not sure how much breeze was up where it was, but there was nothing on the ground. After a while someone started flying a R/C drone under the iFlite, so I decided to bring it in. The Outdoor/Long line is a new aspect of the iFlite that I really enjoyed. Thanks for reading my little story, comments appreciated. WA
