This is a very small field which is almost completely enclosed by trees. It's behind Jefferson Elementary School which was one of my favorite local flying spots until they put an addition on the school. Flying is acceptable if the wind is from the West. The field is well maintained, but there are no restroom facilities.

This is my 13' RWB delta with RWB transition tail. I put this up first hoping to attract spectators (no such luck).

Another shot of the RWB delta, but now you can see more of the park.

This is my ITW TC Ultra in dual-line mode. This is a full sized kite but needs a little more wind than my Tramontana. I love the way it handles in moderate winds.

I'm using my left hand to steer and my right hand to aim the camera along the right hand flying line. This is an interesting perspective - my hands are about a foot apart.

Sorry for the poor lighting. I went to Collins Park first. By the time I got back home, light was failing fast even though it was only 3 p.m. The shots are still interesting.
