Wayne Dowler Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 If I'm not mistaken, that twin vent is a homemade vent! Several had tried different venting options before Patrick settled on the venting used now, after some trial and error! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystainedskin Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Thanks for posting my day 6 Picture Rob. It was tough flying there. There were a lot of gusts, and it was easy to catch the sculptures. Zero G is pretty good at handling wind. Still I got a few nice glides between them Awesome Love the outdoor "urban" gliding 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashgee Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Day 7 IFlite #1493 flying at the office. That week went fast. Flying everyday is easy, getting a pic in flight can be a challenge. Hi Wayne, no i didnt take a knife to my iflite. I had seen an old twin vent on the kitestop site and i asked Patrick Tan about them and ended up having him make me some. They fly very similar to the single vent of course. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Dowler Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 OK, that makes sense! Having Patrick make them correctly, would be the way to go! I knew he tried several venting options before settling on the present, but didn't know he had released any to the public!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Australian Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Thanks for the pictures and video mystainedskin. Thanks for the pictures dashgee. Airbourne shots can be hard to get, I really appreciate everyone's efforts. It's never too late for someone else to join in. Any pictures, video or stories would be appreciated. My day 9 shot is flying the Mega-Plutz 2013 in a local land reserve. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHBKF Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Been working too much to get in many glider flights but have had a few. Don't seem to be able to glide & take pictures either. But here's a picture of the back seat of the kite cart with the Zero G ready to go. It had been raining & was just changing to snow this particular morning. At the end of the day the little car had a two inch blanket covering it. There were five kites in the back seat & nine more in the trunk, expecting to fly. Some vehicles are more suited to carrying big kites than others. A Rev Blast fully assembled inside the Yukon 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHBKF Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 After work I went to my second job & after work I took my first ever "I'm flying my kite & took this picture" pictures. This was in a small parking lot of a small business in a small town in the Highlands of Virginia. I present "Nick's Zero G going to the Moon". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Australian Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Sweet shot Amexpmh. I have lost the little White iFlite against cloud a few times too. Brilliant shots Dayhiker, Thanks. Day 11 for me already, I am really lovin this gliding. I took the opportunity to dust off my Wala XL for this mornings flight, in my work carpark. I did not get as long a flight as I would have liked, but it was a blast. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHBKF Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Some of my favorite kites have come from other people so I always refer to them as the previous owners kite. I have several OPK's. You've already seen Nick's Zero G. Here's Donald's Wala in the car parks of my two work sites. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
