This morning was raining a bit, but the day got better an sunny.

MORE PICS. from the Friday's dinner.

Right now it's 8:54 AM Sunday, ...

Today I had enough time to make me a rev. I did not have a vented one so I decided to use my hollyday and work with the sewing machine.
THIS IS THE RESULT.

IKE, the Red Baron Triplane was testing the winds at Huntington Beach today, and it showed a bit rust in the wings and the landing wheels needed some grease, but it's ready to fly next weekend. :up: It will be sunny with good winds. We will have a nice weekend for the 22nd., 23rd. and 24th. I will d...

Jeff, This isn't like other kite festivals. There is a public aspect to it, but only a few demos are done during the day. iQuad, and John doing his Bugs Bunny routine for example. But doing demos clears the field and gets the other fliers a bit cranky, so there aren't too many. Of course, everyone ...

So we'll see you on Saturday & Sunday then Hector? Don't forget Saturday is unofficial IKE day--wear your red shirt (with Gustavo's pin, of course)! You know I'll be there, This is my home town and I can not miss it for anything. I am thinking about taking Friday off, to mess around with you gu...

I'm going with the kite on the left too. Is it a traditional tissue paper hexagon, or did you use modern materials (ripstop nylon)? Modern materials is right Mike. There is no time to waste making a kite, with soft paper and a day later is in the trash, With ripstop nylon this kite is gonna last me...
