Good one BGKD,

This puts you more than just in the 70 km/hr club but at the top of the class for that range. Liked the write up, the build up and the speed graph.

Place :-Pink Lake, Esperance "The Bay of Isles" Western Australia

Date:- 1st April 2010 .. 4.07 pm

Kite:- 3.8mtr PL Reactor, on small handles and 20 mtr lines with strop.

Buggy:- "Chook Chaser" my own recipe 37kg all up. Me 108kg

Wind:- ESE, 17 with gusts to 34 knts, Temp 22, 1017 hPa & falling, a cold front approaching

Tires:- balanced turf tires at 8 lbs

A pretty buffety afternoon, but I hadn't been out for a while so into it.

Wind was quite turbulent at the eastern edge of the lake but 1/2 km out it smoothed off and softened the gusts coming through. The surface was really hard due to rain a fortnight ago and had crusted off nicely. Really hard surface with very little rippling. Had a fat time with speed runs NNE to SSW about 1.5 kms one way.

I was out for a while and the batteries died in the GPS. While changing them the kite flipped on the stake and looped it's self to deflation before I got to it.

Untwisted it and had this run, I came back to my Nissan well pleased and as I turned, in the turbulent wind by the lake edge, the kite luffed down low and I managed to run over a brake line. It wound round the front wheel snapping it, so another few spins till I reeled in enough of the remaining brake. Idiot!!

Have made repairs and ready to roll again.

Hows it going

Got my first kite in feb Beamer IV 2m very nice little kite just to get used to the power and how to fly. I also had a 4m on its way Becuase i knew once the bug came along i'd be under powered for out here.

I picked the bug up on saturday last week not ever using one and met up with some of the brisy boys for some tips and bit of a sesh that afternoon. Must say alot harder then what i thought it was going to be but after awhile i was getting the hang of it. Next day took it out at home here on the farm, went ok but had a long walk back to the car. third time i went out i picked a different spot and got some good speed but very not good trying to learn with too much wind hitting 35-40Km/H. after getting tea bag and wind gusting up and remembering what wolfie had told me (walk before you run) i decided to call it .

Yesterday looked out and had good wind nice and easy about 25-30km/h pulled the 4m out and away i went for an hour or so before lunch managed to hit 33.4 km/h on the bug not too bad i thought for the 4th time out getting better turns are working, playing with brakes to see how that affected things.

After lunch while wind was still in top form i thought i'd better get back out there and learn as much as i can while i got good air. So i'd thought i'd try going along one of our roads and get used to going slightly up and down wind. Being a harder then the feild i thought i'd get some good speed going. after about 45mins of playing in the dust thought i'd have a little rest i checked out my gps that was around my neck 52.1km/h VERY HAPPY WITH THAT. I thought for the 5th time in the bug its not to bad.

Next step 60km/h

see if i can take a better pick next time....

Cheers Lance
