The new pink one went up but is very unstable when it shouldn't be. Working with material is much harder than with paper!
My muscles ache and I don't know what I have to do to improve the design. I'm on that 'steep learning curve' as I don't know what I'm doing .
I've come in for a coffee and a chance to regroup.
Having a repair and alterations kit at the front line would be a good idea : a pinch of that Olympic determination is needed.
Right - that was a good coffee- and a brief watch of the painful Olympic 800m heats: let's go and crack this one.
Though I managed to get the kite to fly it was only a matter of a minute or so. The present design is very unstable - Working with stretching material is clearly more difficult than with the relatively rigid strong paper used on the previous kite. Back to the drawing board.
