The first time the kite was properly flown was in a remote field in Cornwall.  We were in the area to see the Solar Eclipse.  Once the Eclipse was over, we decided to go and build a 64 cell version for the first time.

As you can see from the pictures, the weather wasn't exactly perfect for flying, in fact there was no wind to speak of at all really, but by walking with the kite line we managed to produce enough lift - only just enough though as you can see...
