    A great video of a wonderful event, Glenn. My favourite things were:
    Seeing so many different kites instead of the usual festival dominated by PLK items.
    The brilliant "alien carrying kite-flier" which was done so well.
    The sky full of kites at the end - just lovely.
    And best of all, seeing lots of children at a festival actually flying kites and having fun instead of being made to just look.

      Billy, good to hear from you. We are holding our own. The forest fires and high temps are punishing as it goes to air quality, but the fires are not close by. I am displeased the AKA convention is cancelled, but I do have hope of getting to the East sometime. Best regards, Glenn

    Glenn! Awesome video! I especially enjoyed seeing the diversity of the participants, e.g., the young ones who are apparently having fun being mentored into future kite designers. And the adult children enjoying their young ones is touching, esp. in these times. Loved the original kite trains & so many hand-made kites! Many recognizable kites & accessories as well as many I've never seen before. That's such a fantastic thing during kite festivals. I'm guessing the people were equally fantastic. I had a tie for my personal favorites: the large bol w/ the black widow spider at the center & the flier in the green alien's grip costume which made me backtrack this video 3 times before I figured it out. Ha! Ha! Amazing! Thank you for sharing this. Robby

    • @PanyingPilot
      @PanyingPilot  3 роки тому

      Robby, the festival is an overload of things to see. My video is far from what was flown. It does make an arguement for getting a kite you have had an eye on before supplies run out. Kite making workshops are a good resource too. I'm glad you liked the video. I'm glad I could attend.

    Wow. So much great stuff here. I don’t know where to start. The alien carrying the kiter was brilliant! And to think, I thought our Kites Over Lake Michigan was cool. Next weekend we will get to see some of this great stuff again.

      Hopefully the weather will cooperate here too. All day yesterday, we had torrential rains, and more is expected tonite. Hopefully, it gets it all out of its system before next weekend.

    Wow what a visual feast of kites. Where do I look ? Seemed like a mix of weather over the week but still everyone got to fly. Love that mass grouping at the end.
    Did I see one of my kiting hero's, Joel Scholz and his new Pterosaurs ? Fantastic he is still active in the kite community. Thanks for a great video Glenn. Trust you are both well after the long journey. No flying in NZ just yet as we remain in Lockdown. Coming down a level soon so maybe next week.

    • @PanyingPilot
      @PanyingPilot  3 роки тому

      Mix of weather is exactly right, Carl. As such, the spectacle was largely muted. Scholz had three and did not intend to produce them since they were too labor intensive to make. He did fly them when he could. The Mass ascensions combined. The giant kites in the back with cellular kites up front. Our Stratopshere DDC got a special award.

      Michael, when the wind is up, there is scarcely any wiggle room. So many people were anxious to get their big and new stuff up that it was almost solid, with a predictable number of train wrecks. Big kites just get bigger which makes it interesting when the wind turns.
