makatakam Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 @Steve Jenkins Are you aware that there is a clinic coming up in the Detroit area on the 24th and 25th. I believe that one is still on. I don't know if that one is full yet or not. You might have a bit shorter drive to that one, like about 7 hours shorter.

Tim P. Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Riffclown and Lynn, anytime either or both of you want to get together and fly sometime let me know when and where. I work in Suffolk and spend quite a bit of time in the area. Kites are always with me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, I was aware of the Detroit clinic, and it would have been my first choice. However we are going to be on vacation in Yellowstone that week. Maybe next time I can make it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Clay Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 I flew for a couple hours in the grass at the north end of FT Monroe on Sunday. Pretty strong N wind courtesy of the tropical storm. It was a bit strong for my standard B. Perfect for a vented probably. We definitely should start a HRKC!

Terrel Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Thanks, John. I am pretty new to quad flying with maybe 12 hours experience since I got my Rev 1.5 in late June. I have been working on fundamentals and am looking forward to the workshop as a means to boost me up the learning curve! The lines thay I have are 65 feet (that's what came with the kite). I hope those are ok for the workshop. Otherwise, do you know if the local kite shop in AB sells longer sets?
