John Barresi Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 So it's that time of year again and traditionally we go out to our local field for a New Years fly, fully equipped with a canopy, thermals, hot coffee/tea, soup, heat packs, etc... All the little things that make even the coldest of conditions bearable, along with the warm companionship of other crazy kitefliers like yourself. So, let's kick it off... Who's coming out to Delta Park on January 1st for some kite flying? Check in at the URL below or post here and I'll add you to the list... It's not an RSVP by any means, just showing how many folks are likely to come out. http://www.revkites.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3510 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guru4tru Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 WOW!! Takako, You make it sound "SOOO" exciting!!...that I'm tempted to leave Sunny Florida to freeze my rear end off in some near Polar Region of the United States...just to taste your "Ginger Tea"!! I hope you'all have fun! (and that all survive too!) Keep It Up! Duane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Last year it was POURING rain, but the few people who did show up had a fantastic time and met up for a lovely dinner that evening. Say, let's do it again! <GRIN> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru4tru Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 No...I meant that seriously!! It sounds like a blast! And I'd really like to meet some of you! If I had the coin to fly up there for a day and back (don't think I could survive more then a day of temps. below 60') I'd do it! Take some pictures so I can indirectly enjoy the flight! Thanks, Keep It Up! Duane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloo Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 You want to be careful Duane, if you do go watch out. Last New Years some WELL dodgy bloke rang John up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru4tru Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 You want to be careful Duane, if you do go watch out. Last New Years some WELL dodgy bloke rang John up. Baloo, I'm an American (and somewhat as illiterate as most Americans are)...but, "...some WELL dodgy bloke rang John up." what are you talking about, what does that mean??? :confused!: Keep It Up!

John Barresi Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Ha, he called me and Takako on New years Day, all the way from England, while we were having our fun fly last January. He's a softy, that old bear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a softy, that old bear. Thanks John, I got it, so...Baloo Bear =s Dodgy Bloke...heehee! That's funny! But, he has a good idea there. Post your number so we can all wish you a Happy New Year as we get Dodgy-ed! -------- BTW-When flying in a climate like that, do they have leading edge heaters (like on airplane wings) to keep the ice from building up?

JoneZ Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 This sounds like a blast. I'll be there (if Im not too hung over. lol) with all my kites blazin'! The holiday season is so busy for me,, I've got christmas, then my birthday, then boxing day (CDN holiday), then new years. A nice relaxing fly day would be a great unwinder (no pun intended) for all the craziness of my holiday. Maybe I could even convince my Wife to come.

John Barresi Posted December 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Rock on Spz0! Come get me for some Rev lessons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoneZ Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Will do. That is, when the gods bless me with a Rev. If not, I'll just rig a quad line bridle on my widow. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted December 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Oh, I have a few laying around... No shortage, I assure you. And trust me, you can't break 'em - nice thing about Revs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru4tru Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Oh, I have a few laying around... No shortage, I assure you. And trust me, you can't break 'em - nice thing about Revs! Yeah...When I started flying the dualies I was replacing parts regularly, so when I got (my wife) a Rev. I bought a bunch of extra parts to replace what I'd break without any down time. But, to my surprise I haven't broken anything so far...and I'm slightly beyond the most dangerious part of the learning!! ("Knock On Wood") Keep It Up!

John Barresi Posted December 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 START TIME, great question! If it's clear and not to ugly weather-wise, I'm going to shoot for around 9am. If it's a bit fugly, maybe 10-11am. Duane, now you just need to plan your west coast trip! Five minutes with me on a Rev, it'll change your whole world, I promise.

JoneZ Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 So they're talking about windy and somewhat rainy on Friday. Im focusing all my Reiki on it being a good day on Friday. I think if everyone who is planning on attending focuses their energy on the same, we might get a really nice day out of it!!! K ready? GO!!!!
