riffclown Posted April 12, 2017 Report Posted April 12, 2017 Safely Home.. It was awesome. Looking forward to the next opportunity to fly.. 3 Quote
ACrop Posted April 12, 2017 Report Posted April 12, 2017 Home safe but late, big grin still plastered to my face. Thanks for a great weekend. So glad that I got over the brain freeze caused by crossed lines. Gave me lots to chew on in my next few months of flying. Looking forward to a fall clinic and more team flying. @Mike Klaiber @John Barresi@mystainedskin I talked the family into heading to the Blue Ridge Kite fest this coming weekend. Hoping to see friendly faces there. Is there any chance of flying fun in the I-81 corridor on Friday??? I am soo hooked. 4 Quote
ACrop Posted April 12, 2017 Report Posted April 12, 2017 Forgot to mention:. Despite hat and sunscreen use I am finding my new racoons eyes tan highly disconcerting and distracting in the mirror. [emoji41]Sent from my Nexus 5X using KiteLife mobile app 3 Quote
Paul LaMasters Posted April 12, 2017 Report Posted April 12, 2017 a few of us will be flying most of Friday at Blue Ridge, gotta help with set-up so it goes easier on everyone. I'm leaving Dugard Manor at 5 am, unless he's not ready with his stuff sitting on the sidewalk Raccoon eyes can be prevented too, just need multiple pairs of sunglasses, eventually though you'll fine that feature most attractive! We could easily have an 8 pack on the line with the locals, 2 pauls, marc, fletch/Melissa are in for sure as guests. Maybe Harold Ames can fly mini-rev 6-pack stacks with me, (he made 'em). Get you flying fix in and even a turn in the spotlight, expecting 10-20 thousand spectators for Easter Sunday 2 Quote
esinger Posted April 12, 2017 Report Posted April 12, 2017 Hi Mike Klaiber, I think I can make the Bedford, VA kite festival on the 22nd.Sent from my XT1575 using KiteLife mobile app Quote
ACrop Posted April 12, 2017 Report Posted April 12, 2017 Wind is looking light for Bedford, but it is still early. Do your wind dance today please. See ya there.Sent from my Nexus 5X using KiteLife mobile app Quote
esinger Posted April 12, 2017 Report Posted April 12, 2017 I'm kind of use to light wind flying. So you're going to both the Blue Ridge and the Bedford kite festivals April?Sent from my XT1575 using KiteLife mobile app Quote
ACrop Posted April 12, 2017 Report Posted April 12, 2017 Ah...I am on for blue ridge with the family, Bedford is iffy. Don't want to to push my luck just yet. [emoji3]Sent from my Nexus 5X using KiteLife mobile app 1 Quote
John Barresi Posted April 12, 2017 Author Report Posted April 12, 2017 The good times kept on rolling for two more days of private lessons... What an amazing weekend, I appreciate all of you - my deepest hope is that the experience lingers with you for a long time, great group.

esinger Posted April 12, 2017 Report Posted April 12, 2017 I'll be at both. It'll be back to back weekends of kite fun! John and Mike are being a set of kites I bought from Cath and Eliot. They are called "A Flock of Swallows". From the YouTube videos, it looks really cool. Sent from my XT1575 using KiteLife mobile app 2 Quote
John Barresi Posted April 12, 2017 Author Report Posted April 12, 2017 Got your kites Eric, might be 2nd base by this weekend. More fun Facebook content from this trip: 2 Quote

riffclown Posted April 12, 2017 Report Posted April 12, 2017 Most definitely, Hats Off to you Lynn for organizing a great event.. The GoPro I had on the field caught John putting the power touch on one of your kites.. Quote
Lynn Gray Pugh Posted April 13, 2017 Report Posted April 13, 2017 Eric, I did get some good flying time in. Rob, thanks for the pic. The laying of hands has healing powers. Quote
esinger Posted April 13, 2017 Report Posted April 13, 2017 Great to hear Lynn! Rob, I really appreciate the Symphony 2.2.4 conversion. I love it and can't wait to fly it more. This past weekend I wanted to focus more on my Rev flying, it's getting more air time soon! Quote
riffclown Posted April 13, 2017 Report Posted April 13, 2017 Same offer I made Mike, if you get any issues with the rear bridles, I'll fix it if needed.. The PDF instructions are also a decent reference of fixing whatever might go wrong.. Quote
