If you like closeness, you should have been at Kite Party in Huntington Beach CA this year.  Lines are limited to 75' at that event due to space, and wanting all fliers to be able to fly whenever they wish.
There were times when we had 18 rev fliers, all standing in one line, elbow to elbow, flying follows, threads, Leaders benefits in groups of six, "balls" in groups of six, pez starting in the middle going down, moving to the right and going up, then moving to the right going down all in groups of six in one continuous line.

One ball of 18, two balls of 9, three balls of 6.

All on 75' lines.

Now that was exciting and loads of fun!

Hi Jim, that what we want taking it back old school.. These kids with there 120 foot lines , makes it too easy   It's nice to fly on shorter lines every now and then gets you closer to your REV

Now that would be an easy one to do and that would give Felix nightmares as to how to organise the grid.

It's easy if you know how...

I think that the 240ft lines could be fun in an enclosed space!

Is there an indoor version of this record?

Sounds like a good idea. Mind you, were it to be done with US of A line spacing you'd need to book the NASA vehicle assembly building.

Well, trust me, it was very close, but so much fun. In a simple figure eight follow we had to stay "bumper to bumper" in order for the first kite to get around the last.

Would love to do it again.

We have just the ticket here on campus at East Tennessee State University. Link to picture: http://en.wikipedia....i/File:ETSU.jpg

It's was originally built to house an indoor football field (note: "field" not "pitch")

Hi Monkey, no that doesn't count you need at least FIVE to beat AIRKRAFT

Airkraft flew 5 quads indoors?

Think we should leave it to the youngsters to organise... Over to you Watty 

I envision cattle prods or tasers. John had nixed those for WSIKF, much to my dismay.

No they did four so you need five.





Now the indoor team flying, that would need a set of very good team fliers

I thought that the image (up-thread) showing the fliers, the kites and the shadows on the sand was somewhat impressive. The precise orientation of the fliers, the kites and the positions on the ground are not particularly significant to me.

What really matters is the view from the car park/parking lot half a mile or more up the beach! <grins>

I have lost the link to the initial KAP image that you posted. It was of the 64 grid with the fliers and shadows except for the person on the extreme right hand side.

Please could you send me the link or post again as I think that the image conveyed the complete picture of what was achieved.

Thanks

Felix
