Cody in strong wind

Today, there was finally enough wind in Munich to fly my Cody kite. I bought it nearly 20 years ago for only a few Euros. It is a simply made kite with wooden sticks and when it’s up in the air, it’s very erratic. But a lot of fun just to watch it fly.

I genuinely might just buy a new string. I tried to untangle the lines but it got worse and worse and now it’s just a mess

For 14 years in a row now in October the island of Prvić near Šibenik, Croatia, explodes in a festival of creativity, art, science, fun, and utter craziness, called Creative Days of Faust Vrančić.

We were there flying kites - and here is how we feel about it: https://kapjasa.si/en/what-happens-on-prvic/

It was beyond amazing - and big big thanks to everyone who made it possible!

Does anybody here have an Iflite?*

4 Upvotes

I just ordered an Iflite glider kite and am eager to fly inside. As advertised, it weighs two grams and only needs sewing thread for string. Would love any tips from users.

\* If this title gave you an earworm, I am sorry. But if you have an aardvark: Congrats!

Got this discontinued Prism Triad. 10mph wind but cutting out a lot. Can’t keep it in the air. Will be a good one for those windier days with more consistent wind. Cool box kite though.
