[Hi Vince, the tyvek material sounds great! I'm looking forward to seeing your kites fly Kevin Walters]
That paint would probably work much better on home-made kites rather than the ones we pay $50 or better for. It might dry out the nylon. A great material for home-made kites is left-over tyvek used in construction of homes. It has a material quality and is excellent for art surfaces.
Keep it in the air,
Vince

If the winds tomorrow are anything like today there will be great flying in the moonlight. Remember to bring chairs!
Who's coming? I got a message from Connie at the kite shop downtown that they will be there. Their all excited about flying in the moonlight.
Meet ya in the air,
Vince

For all that missed the moonlight kite fly Friday, we had fun for you too. The sky cleared up about 6pm. We got a glimps of the moon and then the clouds covered it. There was a kid from The Big Apple that had to have the longest leghth of kite string out there. Bada bing I think the red lights came out because the kid was interfering with the flight pattern. He also had the best looking string of lights flying on his kite after dark. Dale and Jason came out to represent Oasis (the kite store)in town. They brought extra kites for anyone that wanted them. We had fun untangling a few kites. All had a great time. See you all next month.

I am so sorry I missed this. I bought a kite and everything (well, not everything -- I forgot to pick up lights). It was raining where I was, so I assumed the group would not meet. I have stashed a kite away in a secret location (no, not the one where Dick Cheney hangs out) in Puna, and if my next visit and the moonlight kite fly coincide, I will retrieve it and try to fly again.
