Re: Hello from Champaign, IL
Did I see that you won a custom Polo rev on KiteLife? If so, congrats. It'll be a very nice kite. You'll have many IKE members who will happily help you with Rev flying if you are new to it.

Re: Hello from Champaign, IL
Hey Crystal - welcome to IKE! Glad John pointed you in our direction. As Mark and Mike mentioned, we'd all be willing to spend time with you flying Revs. Most of the IKE members fly revs . . . and some of us fly single line kites and duals (pretty rare for me). I don't fly as much in the winter, but...

Re: new from Aurora, IL
Hey - new from Aurora - just a quick reminder. The IKE retreat is coming up September 23-24 at the Indiana Dunes State Park in Chesterton, IN. Many of us will be there flying kites (weather permitting) and hanging out. It would be great to see you there.

Re: new from Aurora, IL
This past Saturday I took my 81 year old dad to the doctor. By Monday he was in the hospital. Been there twice this year with my 85 yo father, plus another trip to the ER. Hope your father gets well, and you can bring him out to fly kites with you. If you are looking to take him to a kite festival,...

Re: DuKane area club fly Aug 19 or 20
I just cancelled my West hotel. Currently thinking Shawnee national Forest or Kentucky or Tennessee.

Re: DuKane area club fly Aug 19 or 20
Same here regarding crowding. I'm considering anyplace along the line between about Grand Island, Nebraska and Kentucky. I figure the population is lower in Nebraska, and the climate there tends drier. But the final weather forecast is going to be the deciding factor. I've actually been to Boonville...

Re: DuKane area club fly Aug 19 or 20
Bill, where are you headed? I'm also going for totality, likely West. We could have a club fly during totality!

Re: DuKane area club fly Aug 19 or 20
Hello, sorry for not replying sooner . . . . I've been out of touch for a few days. I'd be up for a fly, but I'm probably leaving town early for the eclipse. I might be around on the 19th depending on weather projections & how far I'll have to drive for clear skies on Monday.

Re: NYM single vent vs double vent
You might want to try to make it to one of the Pontiac club fly events sponsored by Route 66 Kites. Big Mike will likely have NYM kites and/or the new Reflex kites to try (including the Reflex Spider). Depending on who is there, the 180Go! team bag might be there (for sure at the October Pontiac kit...

Re: Anyone want to be our AKA region 6 rep?
Well, it's an unpaid volunteer position (as much as my wishful thinking would like to get paid to fly kites). I think you should send an email to the address mike listed and maybe also check the kite.org web site. They might have something there. Are you an AKA member?
