West Australian

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

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.

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.

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.

SparkieRob: Keeping an extra watchful eye on the Mega... ;) But you are welcome to borrow it at any time :)

Nice Horvath Glider Photos dashgee, I hope to get a Horvath one day.

Great Pictures Dayhiker, awesome space for set-up kites in that car. Thanks for sharing.

Great to hear you are gliding with us Amexpmh. Zero-G and iFlite are a great combo.

Here is my Day 10 offering, Fusion iFlite II in a Park near my work.

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".

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.

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.
