kids making kites.

Too windy for my Rokaku.
Did send up my KAP camera with the help of another person (from Illinois?) and their flowform kite. This is the only KAP picture I show from this day. Sun went behind cloud just after this, pictures got even worse.

Now I want a Sutton Flowform 8 for windy days.
Anyone have a used one I could buy?


.
Dennis L. has big Crocodile.
I took many pictures with the pole camera at 28 feet.
Too windy to enjoy Kite Aerial Photography.
Bad enough with just a pole in the wind.

The Bowdens have their hands full retrieving this at the end of the afternoon.
