Not a good weekend for testing
What a glorious day it was on Saturday. Unfortunately I was busy, so planned to go out flying at Hythe on Sunday. Sunday arrived and the weather was distinctly dull, but a gentle breeze at home gave promise. So with the car loaded I made the trip down to a site beside the Royal Military Canal When I arrived, things looked pretty good with what seemed like a strong breeze blowing. But as time drew on, it became clear that the breeze was very playful, with sudden lulls down to nothing at all. After playing with a couple of kites, I had a 4m delta hoisted aloft and reasonably steady in the breeze. So I decided to try attaching the camera rig to it. To do so, I needed to bring the kite down a bit due to height ceiling regulations. Brought the kite down and was back into the playful air again. Well I attached the rig for about 5 minutes, but the wind was so difficult that I decided I didn't want to cause any damage so took it off and put it away. Maybe another day?
