Subject: Flight School, Euro leg 95 update:

I'll try to make this quick.
Fanoe was great, rainy and windy, and over 30 students were taught. A
large thanks goes out to Eva and Ralf Dietrich of Flick Flac Copenhagen
Denmark. You guys are great! Sorry I missed the Rec. meeting, I was late
off the beach and confused at the Auction.

Off to Germany. Although only a few students were taught, Stephan(Flick
Flac Cuxhaven), Ron(good luck in the army) and Sven and the city of
Cuxhaven were terrific!

Then to Oldenburg. Here I met the wonderful people behind Flic Flac, In
Vento, and HQ kites. Another 20 students with some spectacular
improvements! The designer of the Tramontana & Maestrale, Christoff Fulkin
and I designed a new beginner/advanced trick kite. The JAM SESSION. It was
great and exciting to see my design idea go from just that to flying
proto-type in just 2 hours. And from that to finished ready for production
kite in only 2 more hours. These guys are good!
Thanks for everything Hans, Hartmut, Christoff, and Jergin!

After a eight hour train ride on the new high speed train to Basil
Switzerland it was great to see Rene from Der Spelier. His wife Ellis and
him, Paul, Peter, and the rest of the crew did a great job at thier mini
trade show for the Retailers of Switzerland. I was there to teach my
system so they could use it to teach their customers. It works! Rene
promised me bad wind, great people and lots of food and beer. I got just
that!

Then to Schevening Holland via France, Luxemburg and Belgium.
My last class was only 8 students, but the winds and pjeople were perfect!
Sorry to all of you that I had to turn down, as I promised I will try to
get back to Holland very soon.    Thanks for a great ending. Thankyou also
to Nop, Micheal, and Flieger OP Holland.

After my trip to Colombia(if i make it back) Plans are now in the works
for either the German Nationals or Bristol to conduct more schools. Then
to France.
If any one is interested, contact me or In Vento Germany at 440292620

Thanks again to everyone who I came in contact with over the past 4 weeks.
You showed me the time of my life!

PS. Videos in Pal are available now from the Kite Company of England and
soon from In Vento Germany.

Take Care and see you soon!
