I have a friend who lives in Anoka who would gladly purchase a copy for me before he comes over to Australia for a holiday. If anyone has come by the above mentioned book in a Kite/Book Store in either Anoka or Minneapolis, it would be most helpful if you could tell me the Store Name, Address and Phone Number so I can chase it up and hopefully get a copy. On the weekend just gone by, I had a great time with my second night fly. I rigged up three ultra bright leds in a "car alarm activation switch", running off a small watch battery. It's very light and can be easily attached to the t-connecter on my home made stunter. I was only expecting to be out for a half hour, but actually ended up staying for two. With such a light yet bright light, the kite required no bridle change. What a releaf! Oh, if you are wondering about the first night flight; the kite looked like a Christmas tree. I had 7 ultra bright leds on it, of different colours , requiring two AAs. It looked spectacular, but took 10minutes to setup and lots of bridle changes. Happy flying, Grant.
