- Location: Coeur d’Alene Lake in Idaho
- Same attachment set-up as the last few times. Eventually I’ll put together something fancier…
- Assistants: Alonna and my sister Beth
- Two cool pictures. Beth is in the second one
- Trying out another new kite: a 6 foot Delta
- Actually more like 5 feet. Made in China.
- Cost less than $20 on the Internet.
- Looks like a passenger-less hang glider when it’s in the air.
- It seems to fly almost straight up, unlike the flowform which has a really low flying angle.
- It was unstable close to the ground, but letting about 50 feet of string out and just kind of pulling it into the air worked great.
- Definitely could have let the kite go higher but we were nervous about seaplanes landing on the lake.
- Both the kite and the camera attached to it drew a lot of attention.
