Sure but you can use my 9v muphin phan in the time it takes to set your lines.

Sweet!!! As I recall from last year, fans were not needed, just like to be ready just in case

9 May 2000z..............side on ENE @ 13 mph..........................get that skirt ready!!

Purrrrrrfect.

9 days to launch.

Angus, you got three boxes from nebraska coming your way, one fedex, 2 ups

And a small one from Weldinggod for my Ivanpah (tow hitch we talked about) Thanks.

So close!!!

I've already mentally checked out from work...

Wednesday 11 May..................winds ENE (side on) @ 1200 hrs......................Angus turned the switch on early today.............

I started packing yesterday. I figure not waiting until the last minute. LOL

The 5 kites are going to use up a bunch of room. Gota have em tho, land board, Proof, buggy, and all the other little things.

I might be letting the P-15 go home with someone else.

Its such a perfect thing of beauty I have only looked at pictures of it. I hate to see such a classic perfect kite unfolded and laying on the ground so I never have. :D:D

My little fields arn't worthy of it.

Rock,

Hate to see you let her go but it will sell no problem...................fly her on the beach and you may change your mind.......of course you can leave her with me as incentive to come to Charleston more often.................

Wed 15 May 1500 local............................east at 15 mph ( direct on shore).....................shipwreck and back no issue today................:bigok:

Isn't Mougl looking for a Phantom 15?

yes I think so........................cough cough clearing throat @ Mougl......nice catch Mr T

This afternoon was ESE at 12-16. dead on.

I was indeed! Don't know if I can swing it now though, spent a LOT on the quiver rebuild so far. Lord knows I'm goin to try though, also have to start building up the FB collection. Going to want something along the lines of an RII or Viper set

On the matter of kites going home with other folks, I might like to go home with a 3m or 5m Apex. I at least want to try them.

If do find love with a small HQ kite I'll need to move a large Arc--probably a 16m Scorpion. I need to have the Big Arc Showdown, but I think there is just too much overlap between the 15m Phantom and 16m Scorpion to warrant keeping both.

Philip

I know what you mean on the overlap.

I have the 13, 15 and 19. Thats were I wanted to be but years into the hobby I still haven't found the right place to fly the arc's.

The little crapy field we go to isn't arc friendly. Thens there's gust and lulls. Been keeping the P-15 new just to try and recoup my funds if need be.

Tri, gas prices keeping me off the coast, well that and the way we both work always changing shift's and over time without notice.
In the end , the smaller kites get the call. Until JIBE then woohooo.

I have found my Arcs do well inland, but some aspects of the arc-y wonder are compromised. They still munch gusts and there are more to munch so that's some arcy goodness.

OTOH, auto-zenith becomes useless due to the non-smooth wind. The kite will routinely overrun zenith inland. Where-as I can tether my Scorps for an hour in the coastal on-shore breezes, I can barely let go long enough to take a drink of water from a screw top jug when inland.

So yes compromised, but perhaps still worthwhile.

Philip

Philip, You can't go home with my new to me ApexII 5m, but you're more than welcome to fly it.

Frank...

Nice big hole in the quiver there...might be able to fill it at JIBE

My new apex 3 5m is going to be there, you're welcome to try it too, its a riot in crazy winds!!

Less than a week to go!!! Going to be scouting rental properties while I'm there, possibly scouting jobs too!

mougl,

Have a Viper 5.3 Black/ Orange going with me to JIBE for sale. RTF used only a few times and crispy!
Look me up if you want to try it out..

Chad

12 May, 1040 local, SSE @ 12mph (side on), muy perfecto senors y senoras............damn he's been to the beach and hit the switch already!!!!:duh::duh:

not as side on as you think. You can milk that for a shipwreck run, the reach around the southern corner would be a scream, and the trip back would be monster downwinder

def a screamin downwinder back to kite beach.......................my point exactly no problems with this direction,,,,,,,,,,,
