Took it up today for the first time and although very windy I managed to keep it up. 3 x landings and no damage yet. Very different from the flight SIM and need to get it much higher next time.

Cheers:)

Good man:)....remember your not a real pilot until you nose one in from 40' at full trottal totaling the kite in a hole in the ground! LOL!!!!!:D

Well done and welcome to the fun of flying!:D

Keep going around the field, in and out of wind and I'm sure you'll be a squadron leader soon!

Make sure you ware your cravat though.....can't let the side down if you do bail out!

When I first flew my Stryker it was like OH My God! this things a bit nippy, you split-s from 300 feet and withing 2 seconds your at 50 feet and 2x speed lol.

It's an experience.
