___This topic has aspects of physics but also social/cultural context so I though I'd start it off in the Watercooler.
___So, do you have a kite? What kind? Where do you go to fly? Who do you go with? Other kite info you have?
___I currently don't have a working kite, but I always favored box kites & their variations. I also enjoy flying the 2-line stunters, especially the flexi-foils.
___My interest in kiting has waned, but for many years I was an avid enthusiast & participated in the Washington State International Kite Festival at Long Beach Washington USA for a number of years as an official & as a contestant. It all started getting a little too much about business forme, but it still is an outstanding festival where one can see more types of kites than just about any other venue. (The festival is held the 3rd week of September every year)
____Well, I don't care for long posts, so I'll curtail my ramblings to allow you all to post up your kiting adventures!
