Hurray for you and Peter! It looked like a beautiful day for flying and it also looked like some other folks on the beach were groovin' on your kites. I've found that more people pay attention to our kites than we might think. You gentlemen are inspiring a lot of people!
We do get a bit of attention sometimes, Richard, which makes the flying more enjoyable. Unfortunately, we rarely see other people flying kites except on our annual Kite Day, when hundreds turn up and are not seen again until the following year.
Wonderful display!... really like that smaller trilobyte of Peter's collection...might "need" one.. I'm washing kites this weekend...time to put some away for the winter...
@@JimNicholls ..oh I'll be flying the more sturdier ones!...the vintage ones that are more cloth than nylon will be stored. They absorb too much moisture. But I said that last year..and flew the odd one anyways..bringing them home, unfolding, and drying in my craft room..lol
Hi Ray, that kite was originally mine, and I'm pretty sure that it did come with a drogue tail. It wasn't a great flier, and both Peter and I have modified it over the years that it's been here. I can't remember exactly what was done, but it flies better now, and the change of tail probably accounts for part of that.
