All in Bits First 16 Bottom Section Complete 64

This was the first time we took the 64 to a festival.  The photos show the various stages of assembly for the classic 64 cell variation.

We were not able to fly the kite as long as we would have liked as the wind picked up.  As the wind got past 10 knots the kite was putting over 150lbs strain on the line, as the line was only rated to 110lbs, and that was the heaviest line we had with us we decided that is was sensible to bring it down...
