Illinois Kite Enthusiasts

See you soon my friend!

hahaha

They were great fun for a group.
Looking forward to more games at Jamestown!
I’ll bring some intermediate level games too, in case a subgroup ofnpeople want to try them.

Hi Crystal! This forum, and the actualy the club, has been super quiet lately. But! I live an hour south of you in Charleston and I go to Champaign once a month or so. I’d be happy to help you fly a Rev. I’m a Southern California boy and don’t care much for the cold, but I bet we can meet up after t...

Welcome to the club!
And yes, in our world, "kiting" is totally a word. :)

Hi folks, it's just a month away for the next retreat. We'll be staying at the Quality Inn this year. There isn't a block of rooms, just book early for best price https://www.choicehotels.com/indiana/chesterton/quality-inn-hotels/in389/rates?checkInDate=2017-09-23&checkOutDate=2017-09-24 https:/...

I'm just getting up early and driving south. Worst case, I'm sitting in traffic with a bunch of other people in the dark with a cloudy sky :)

Portland is a lot of fun. Blue Star donuts are the best!
You'll have a good time, but we'll miss you on the flying field.

The team's NYM fly great, but given what you already have, I'd get a reflex spider next.
It will the most different from what you own.

And a nice looking kite! Does it have a lot of pull (like a Rev Blast)?

I’ll be visiting family too. Maybe next month...

I think Steve Anderson should run!

I haven't spoken Ed, but whether he is running again or not, if someone thinks they can do a good job they should run for the office.

anyone want to be our region 6 rep? Or know one who should be? from the AKA: Elections are upon us! We are looking for intrepid folks that either want to be President or are wanting to represent their region in the following regions 2, 5, 6, 7, 8. So, if you are in New Jersey, Downstate New York, Pe...

Hi Jeff, welcome to the club. Glad you made it here from my email. Most of our fliers are in the Chicago area and down in central Illinois (Pontiac, IL has a regular club fly with a bunch of quad fliers). But does anyone here know people in Iowa for Jeff? We will also have a '"kite retreat"...

Welcome to the club, John!
It'll be fun to see those old kites in the air.
Of course, you'll have to try a kite with double the strings and double the fun :) Most of our members also fly quads--Steve will help you out, I'm sure.

Hiya Goddess! Welcome to the club! It might be worth making the drive to Pontiac, IL. That's where our sponsor, Route 66 Kites is located. They can help you out and probably give you a lesson. http://route66kites.com/index.html I haven't flown a dual in a very long time, but if you ever want play wi...

Hi George!

That's super cool!

Thanks a bunch for all that work, Steve!
