For any-one interested, please find message from Andrew Beattie. Those of us who apply for height clearance from the CAA will be familiar with the rules regarding red and white tubular streamers which should be attached to the lines of kites flown above 60m. There has been recent discussion, complaining that these are not commercially available, so I have taken steps to rectify this. I now have stock of both designs of streamer. The small one to be attached at intervals of not more than 100m or the larger one to be attached at intervals of not more than 200m. The design includes: - A webbing leading edge and long bridle which means that the streamer has some stiffness to help inflation but no spar that might get broken. - A drawstring and toggle on the trailing edge to enable to flier to adjust the back pressure sufficient to provide inflation without excessive drag. - A ball bearing swivel. The small one is £12 and the larger is £18 visit www.tug.com
