Illinois Kite Enthusiasts

Just a reminder if anyone is around. I still dont know what he layout is going to be , but right now looking to be plenty of wind.

Well ,you were flying on a school day.

I would love to have a semiannual retreat. Knowing that you guys are busy in the Spring, it'd be subject to your schedule. Maybe if we can pick a couple of weekends as options depending on how the festival schedule shapes up. Also, we could firm up the weekend for next years September retreat.

Hope its not too late to ask questions. Since its my first time up there, can we park nearby early or do I have to take the shuttle? It will affect what I plan to bring up with me. I wanted to bring a couple of SLK's as well as maybe a banner or pole. Also, is there an open area for regular fliers? ...

From what I've heard there is going to be lots of activities for families, but at the same time I'm beginning to wonder how much room there is going to be to fly kites.

I'll be there Saturday.

I'm familiar with it. It is a large park and there is plenty or room. It's a little out of the way. I know TriCities football practices there in the evenings and I don't recall if the flag football plays there on Saturdays. The park district obviously wants to keep the fields open for sports.

What about the Rev 2.0's? I've always been interested in them. I'll send you a PM.

So did "The Fuzz" ... But we stood our ground. :) Since I'm a St. Charles taxpayer I will try to follow up on this with the Park District. When I spoke with one of the supervisors last year there was no mention of an issue. From what I gathered from that conversation was that there are so...

I can be there between 1:30 and 2. Gotta do some things first.

Wind both days looks good. Saturday looks drier, but either is still good for me.

My Summer obligations are over and I haven't flown in two months. Anyone willing to get together in the DuKane area for a fly?

Careful what you wish for. I have a 4m trainer with a depower line. Don't be afraid to let go. It can kill you if you're not careful. Sometimes going through the center of the wind window is scary when you realize how strong the air really is.

Agree with jay. It happens when you are a noob, but the curve is supposed to straighten out. Contact them for the specs and you can buy parts replacement parts yourself much cheaper.

Beautiful. Wish I was there.

Congrats Bill. I can't believe it's only been a year.

Steve, I might be interested in a Rev II

Excellent Bill.

Sorry. Working on all of the stuff I've had to put off. Set building has been dominating my time. Thank goodness tomorrows Fathers Day'. I hope to get in an hour or two of flying. C'mon wind.

I've noticed small newspapers usually get it wrong. When my wife's studio has been in the paper there is something that is absolutely 100% wrong every time
