riffclown Posted April 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 A bit of framing to complete and bridle needs to be tied but here's the look. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Just like that. 👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted April 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Successful bridle test. This kite is ready for 10-20MPH winds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted April 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 very swirling winds (note the kite on the ground flipping back in the first segment.) but a few seconds of usable flight time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonFibonacci Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Reminds me of a recent throw I did where the kite went about halfway out and then turned around. It was having none of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Good video of @windpoacher somewhere, throwing his Rev off a cliff to have the same thing happen. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted April 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 I did successfully throw launch one of my Symphony 2.2.4's once at Jockeys Ridge. Winds were OBX strong and I just tossed it straight up. Even had witnesses. Wind in my neighborhood is notorious for the swirl. My usual spots are just not available right now.
