Cerney Tonto Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 I am thinking of heading for the hill for about 11' ish for a bit of a buggy. Any one else venturing out? Quote
Gregga Posted July 14, 2010 Report Posted July 14, 2010 owww i really want to fly - but horrid gusty direction with big gusts in the forcasts Quote
LiloLittle Posted July 14, 2010 Report Posted July 14, 2010 I really want to fly too where is nice easterly wind?? Quote
Gregga Posted July 16, 2010 Report Posted July 16, 2010 ouch... weather station showing 15mph gusting 35mph+ max gust yesterday 48.9mph owww i really want to fly but just know i will get seriously spanked like a baby Quote
Cerney Tonto Posted July 16, 2010 Report Posted July 16, 2010 (edited) Went for a fly on the hill yesterday morning and what an experience that was! Spent first hour sat in the car listening to the rain being driven against the windows before the sun came out and we could set up the 2.5m Bullet and the bug. No wind meter but the wind whistling through the radio masts gave us a clue as to the wind strength but even so I was totally unprepared for the ferocity of launching the kite. Over the next 3 hours we had more OBE's than you can shake a stick at. Several times we were ripped forwards out off the buggy on the launch but the main difficulty were the turns as there was no grip from the front wheel on the wet grass. This often led to the buggy sliding on in the original direction but the kite heading in the opposite with the obvious results!! Have just looked at the weather station output and we had 25mph wind with 45mph gusts. Twas truely scary sat in a buggy, no way I would have tried standing on a board.
