Thanks for that link, Tom. I thought I was all alone out here, I never see anyone else flying.

At either the DeKalb or Quad  Cities festivals, introduce yourself to the guys and gals in red shirts ...

That can't be good. I don't want to be standing next to them if they are going to be vaporized (Star Trek reference)

REVflyer, you're right. I should go and I plan to. However, there is a strong possibility I will be forced into work that day

Thanks for the welcome guys. I'm glad to be here.

Speaking of NIU,  a kite fest will be held there on the 13th. I may go if I'm not out flying my kite elsewhere.

I can easily see myself flying these kites for years to come. I didn't even know about them until last year, when I bought a dual line kite, which I've never flown.
