Notes...

Spreader poly tubes replaced, Spreaders re-glued and taped. Aluminium tube replacement purchased 29th March 2019 as many are bent. (22 ends 38 mids in tie bag, 10 spreaders one with replaced aluminium ferrule)

Flown at Blackheath 4th August 2019 perfectly, but watch for tip wraps. Pockets are folded and sewn 2 sides so insert spars with care... Dowels for verticals located and purchased August 2019

One front row spine broken at Schloßhof Austria so replacements for front row made in carbon and fitted 21st November 2019

Front row, right hand side/middle spreader spar pocket re-sewn with dacron overlay after temporary repair at Blackheath, also repaired spreader spar bag... 29th October 2020. The main kite bag fabric was delaminating and unstable so the bag has been re-made with a new lining and closure as at 28/07/2021.

Sunday 13th August 2020 was the first attempt to fly the stacks together.
