#Jørgen_Møller_Hansen kite flown on #Blackheath on Sunday 21st May 2023. Composite Kite (Della Porta): Eight Rhomboids 1993
each rhomboid: 75 x 127 cm
total size: 302 x 259 cm 3.81 sq metres
tail: 2 x 22 metres
Weight: 2 kg
The long tails did not keep the sail centered in the wind, the flat sail flipped and 'fell' out of the sky! Bow lines have been set for a future flight...

#Artevento, Cervia 21st April - 1st May was an intense 11 days of kite flying including #Jørgen_Møller_Hansen kites... and his graphics on quad kites flown by the #Decorators_Kites team... Hoping the floods in the area now subside soon!

Martin Linford on the 'bar' again, #Blackheath 19/03/2023 Double Single Eddy Stack 1989 by #Jørgen_Møller_Hansen
Preparations for #Artevento Cervia 2023, seemed sensible to fly this one as it some time since the last flight. One spar pocket needs to be re-sewn.
The images show a loose spar on the second paired sail.

It was too windy on #Blackheath for comfortable flying of the 8 sail Rev 1.5 stack in the 2007 design by #Jørgen_Møller_Hansen but Ashley Mottram was able to hang on long enough to know that a bit more forwards was needed, the adjustment made, and for me to catch some images... The link lines and cap connectors are new, the sails are getting quite old now!

The stack of the 1991 and 1992 #Jørgen_Møller_Hansen Rev1 sails had been slightly reconfigured again, the spars in the last two kites have been replaced. It was a bit gloomy today on #Blackheath compared to 20th March 2022 but great to get the stack configured ready for Cervia #Artevento 2023.
Thanks to Marian Linford for the images.
