Smithsonian Rokkaku Win»»

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

Just a quick note — the Midnight Squadron team won a very tough Smithsonian Rokkaku Challenge!

The field was great, tough, and fierce. The weather was friendly to us — the ugly dampness soaked our line, protecting us from Harold Ames & Charlie Don’t Run’s skilled slicings, and the light wind was familiar from our usual low-wind Low-Down Dirty Kite Fights.

Iron Kite spooled and Complex piloted, while Kalika Chris coached. We lapped the field 3 times, and finished last in the air in the first and third heats.

More later!

Rain vs. Kite»»

It’s not looking good for the weather, but rain permitting, let’s try to get together tomorrow and fly!

Update: Never mind, the rain won. There isn’t even any wind to speak of.

Stay warm inside and make a kite!
