The 1991 Parafoil was initially flown at about the time of one of the Art Kite arena presentations but there was not quite enough wind at that moment. It was flown later with the 1992 Parafoil which is rather more manageable.

The larger kite was tending towards topping out so the flight was quite short after an interim re-launch proved to be more time consuming than it should have been. The kite was not moved far enough out of the centre of the window before inflation was attempted!

Conditions were just viable for flying the 1991 Rokakku on a short line for the Art Kite Arena display.
