grey78 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Do you keep a logbook for flight hours? If so, what kind? Amber Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 I don't keep a log-book per se, but I organize my pictures by date, and can see what I was flying when by looking back through them. Yes, I always have my camera with me, photography is my other hobby... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkieRob Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 One bloke over on the rev forum catalogued the use of his last set of pros. Very interesting stats. I don't catalog, just place broken or worn as needed. I do take lots of mental notes if I see a new urban playground.

Dave362 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Interesting.... I used to keep a log for fly fishing, to try to hit the same hatch in the same conditions each year. I've never tried anything like that for kiting, in terms of a tool to improve or whatever. I do like to write, and enjoy on occasion writing about a particularly great day flying. But its always about the beauty of the day, the way the sun felt, stuff like that, not say technique specific. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmadz Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 I do it for fun. I'm not that interested in logging my progress, then its not fun for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave362 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Grey, the cool thing about kiting is everybody comes at it in their own way. I like to practice stuff over and over. That's just what makes it fun for me. I also understand that's not for everyone. If some folks find it helpful to keep a record of what's working and what's not in say, a particular type of turn or trick, I think that's awesome. It could also be fun to have a record of different flying sites, seasons of the year, festivals, whatever. I think a diary type of log would be really fun to go through years later. Bottom line is, everyone should approach kiting in the way that makes it most enjoyable to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
povlhp Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I have my skydiving logbook (requirement), at 500 jumps the fun starts to go out of it. But computer stats helped a bit. Never thought about logging kite usage. Might be good to determine what to keep and what to sell. Apart from Revs (vented + std), I am starting with some HQ Symphonies and powerkites as well. SLK will not count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool stats, but I just fly mine til they need replacing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
