Double Micron!

A number of years ago, we tried flying our Prism Micron 5-stack together with our singleton. It was fun to do for an hour or so, but of course not something for a halfway serious routine, so we never persevered with it. 

Until very recently, when we were given a bunch of kites, among which was a 'Prism Micron'.

Doubtful whether this really is a Prism kite, as there were no identifying labels anywhere on the kite .... maybe it's a home-made copy?


Copy or not, we tried flying it, and it turned out to be very very twitchy, clearly more so than the Prism Micron we already had.


Nevertheless, of course we had to try flying them together ...


And that showed yet again how twitchy the 'Micron copy' was relative to the Prism Micron. Just following was a real challenge, and so was taking pictures of the kites together while flying them. 


This picture really captured a rare moment when the 'Micron copy' flew in a nearly straight line!


Let's just conclude that they're not exactly team kites (of course, we knew that!) and that you won't see us flying our pair of Microns at a festival any time soon ...
