Exciting to get hands on with this kite, Wednesday 19th February 2025.
The weather for Sunday 23rd February was windy so we did get to fly this kite and get some images 'in flight'!

The smaller kite is easier to launch and obviously more manageable overall.

The conditions were overcast for much of the event at Portsmouth.

The 1992 Parafoil was flown in the afternoon and some images 'in the round' were captured.

There was an accumulation of sand in the trailing edge which was eventually emptied on the final day of the event.

The kite arrived on Wednesday 19th February and so there was not a long wait to getting it in the air. It was flown on a short line today in a strong breeze estimated at 15mph.

A longer line was set and Jake arrived to supervise the line while images were captured. Martin flew the Revolution RSS sail for size comparison as well as being a clear indication of the windspeed!
