Triple Malay Stack 1988
at Cervia 2022
This was flown on the 25th of April and then, when we were told that people had heard about it and hoped to see it, we flew it again on the 27th April as the wind was judged to be a bit low for the Double Malay.
Various kite fliers attending the event took a turn on the bar so we were able get some images during this flight...
Preparation and launch captured by Franca Perletti on 25th April 2022.
It seems like a long time since we flew this early stack. I am always reminded that it pre-dates the Revolution Kite and the Revolution stacks.
Not full on sunshine but it was a good flight in preparation for Artevento, Cervia 2022.
Thanks to Marian Linford for these set-up images
Front of stack secured.
