Hello Bill,
Thank You for your comment my friend -
This was a World Breaking event apparently with all of these kits as well- in Paris they managed to get 19 kites in the air, in Seattle , 20 and here in Lincoln City, Or. 21 all at once - for a short time at least - then we lost the wind and all of them :((
Happy Holiday Week-end Bill !!!
