Both Mark and I (Castor or Ikky68) would like to invite everyone to this two (2) day event. There are camping grounds at the AMA with power outlets and access to showers. I encourage everyone attending to come out and camp, I don’t want to be out there by myself. The first day will include training and time to fly your (or OP) kites to your heart’s content. Training will start with basics and then move to advanced. Just let us know what you want to learn and we’ll try to accommodate you. On the next day we will continue training (and flying) and include a mini-competition using Wardley’s Freestyle format. Although we may change it to suit our specific needs. The Indiana Trick Clinic will continue as a semi-annual event. Each year we will host the Spring Clinic and the Summer Clinic. Those interested in freestyle tricks or improving skills for competition are welcome to attend. For this Indiana Trick Clinic (summer session) we are honored to have Lam Hoac as our very special guest pilot. Please RSVP me (ikky68@yahoo.com) so that I can get a head count.
