We can't make the fly, but couldn't pass up the opportunity to say

Congratulations Rose!

on your Masters degree.

Jynx,

Our family will be there. Four plus possibly two grandparents.

Please let me know about parking.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Great job Mikey!

Can't wait to see you fly with the team. One more Mike on the team and sometimes it will be Mike⁴ or maybe M⁴IKE

Tom,

I've been watching the show. Your nephew is an awesome marksman and a real stand-up person. It's nice to see someone with such strong ethics do so well.

You wouldn't know that archery is his sport given the way he handles the guns.

I hope he goes all the way. I'm rooting for him.

My son and I (RevkidChris) are in a southwest suburb of Chicago and frequent Northerly Island as well as some local fields.

What specific days would you like to fly and will you be staying downtown or suburbs? If downtown, do you know hotel or area?

Cheers,

Chris and I had a good time. Saturday was the best with good winds in the afternoon followed by good food and the auction. There was a group of 8 to 12 Revs flying near the pier almost all day. I joined them late in the day when Jim Foster was calling and he did a good job of keeping me out of troub...

This will be our first time to KP and also flying with Revs. We have some questions for the veterans. Kites and supplies Do you bring both std and vented to KP? Spar selection? 3 wrap and 4 wrap? My understanding is we won't need stakes for the sand. Do you use something else? Flying (in the airplan...

I'm up for it. Tune-up for Kite Party.

Mikey,

Great looking kite. Nice design.

Looking forward to getting some flying time in with everyone soon.

Chris and I are working on it.

Looks encouraging right now. Likely leave Thursday afternoon and return Sunday night.

Apparently it takes two years to recover from Rose leaving campus.

That's understandable.

At least 2 t-shirts, especially in new design

Possibly hoodie or windbreaker.

Tom, Pass on my congrats to Joe. I watched the show last season and really enjoyed it. All of the contestants were amazing marksman (and one woman). Big Mike was a fan as well. It is good he has both archery and gun experience. They had a number of different weapons including knife throwing, longbow...

Welcome to the Darkside Scott. Before you know it you will be flying a Rev of some type. A club fly is the best way to try OPK (Other People's Kites) and see what you like. You also want to talk to Wendy;she is catspaw00 on the forum. She is into power kites and kite surfing. You can do both water a...

Sweet colors.

I heard purple kites fly really well inverted!


Enjoy your new kite.

Congratulations!!

Enjoy the new business!

Haven't had time to select best pictures, downsize, and send.

Next best thing: Zipped into one large file accessible at http://www.filedropper.com/qcpics

As a teaser, 180GO! and Paul are well represented.

I'm 75% ok as of now. Might be traveling Sunday evening.

Welcome to the dark side! Kent's post was outstanding. I vote for "sticky" as well. One other difference for the B-Series: The price includes two frame sets. Typically a standard sail comes with a 2-wrap and a 3-wrap and the vented comes with a 3-wrap and 4-wrap. The good kite stores will ...
