This was a small AKA sanctioned event. CNN presented footage of the event on Saturday morning. It was small, only about 15 fliers, but lots of fun. Abel Ortega, Todd Nelson, and Ed Reynolds were the only Masters Class fliers there. I would have thought that CNN actually showed the World Cup and the locals were just confused, but I know one of the fliers that was filmed! BTW - this was my second competition. I got two gold medals (NIP and NIB) ... Ed's (Reynolds that is) making me move up :) Pre postscript --- Thanks to the rec.kite group for very valuable info and flying tips.

Hines >> Astronomy, RLM 15.308 >> University of Texas >> Austin, TX 78712 Dean, You deserved both medals too. :) It was nice to be able to fly with all of you guys. I know I had a blast. I had only brought high wind music and worked on my stack routine prior to the event. I made the mistake of not having worked out something with slower wind so I could switch if required. I'm learning :) I did do pretty good with my single liner's though---First and Peoples Choice :)) Hope to see you at some of the future fly's coming up. If you need anything call.
