Thanks Mark.

I thought the file size might be the problem. How do you reduce it? Is there any freeware that will do this?

Irfanview is pretty good for resizing, cropping, adjusting colours, etc, and converting between formats, as well as just viewing all kinds of graphics and other multimedia.

Whoops tried to resize the file and messed the link up. Hopefully this will work.

Thanks Rob (Fiction) for the tutorial, I thought I was doing it correctly but clearly I wasn't.

Looks very nice in green I have to say - and flies beautifully.

Thanks Mark! :-)

It is the prettiest kite ever.

Is that another flippin vented - darn, you're making me want one now and I didn't want one before (not much any way). Still....I just ordered my Hi-Fi a new phono stage today, so that will have to do for the time being.

That's a top-notch looking kite there Stephen - but yellow is clearly my favourite kite colour.

Hopefully we'll see each other at a fly-in and have an Akuji sesh :elephant:

I know what you mean Al, I had two weeks off over Xmas and only managed two sessions (and I have a Nirvana HW). Forecast for this weekend is not much better either.

Goes with my "graded Akuji colour scheme":
SUL: Rubin (pink)
UL: Red
Comp: Red wing "flashes"
Vent: Fluo-orange

The notion is that the vent is most likely to be used under grey skies, hence it puts a bit of "fire" in the sky and makes me feel happy...

- but yellow is clearly my favourite kite colour.

I noticed :-) Actually, that yellow is very effective! YOu ought to find a way of getting some on that Transfer of yours...

Hopefully we'll see each other at a fly-in and have an Akuji sesh

Definitely up for that. Team Akuji vents?
