So you didn't think I brought the camera and my tripod for the Early Morning Test Flight? Well, I sure did!

When the wind suddenly rose from almost nothing to 5, 6 or even 7m/sec in one minute, it was time to bring out the Skiron!
After yesterday's test flight I wanted to do some adjustments to the Skiron. That's why I got up in the wee-hours today.
I finally found some time to add some stabilising vertical ribbons to remedy the sail flutter. Yesterday I was ready for test flight #2!
Now when the first Zaephay (finally) is completed, I'd like to share a few specs with you all.
Yesterday evening was good. Low winds coming from the north east and despite somewhat offshore, it set the scene for some Zaephay Zen Moments.
The weather forecast was spot on. Sunny and just a draft of wind coming in from the sea. Just the right conditions for flying the Zaephay!
Finally it was time for the Zaephay's initial flight. Not the best of conditions, but I couldn't wait any longer!
Yes! Today I finally finished the Zaephay project. The kite is now ready to fly and I'm just waiting for the right (very) light wind conditions ... and some daylight.
Finally, finally I can see the light in the end of the tunnel! I really hope I can get this kite in the air sometime soon!
