    Moin
    Am Beispiel Pantenier (18 KG Drachen) mache ich es so:
    wenn Wind herrscht, lasse ich den Drachen direkt an der Waage hoch. Hab ca. 20 Meter Schnur
    hinter mir, die zu einer Acht läuft. Auf der anderen Seite der Acht, steht ein anderer Flieger, der
    Jederzeit Schnur geben kann oder nicht. Der andere Flieger hat auf mein Wort zu hören
    (klingt streng ... ist aber so!). wenn nun der Drachen zu viel ziehen sollte ... lasse ich die Schnur los.
    Der andere Flieger gibt in dem Moment Schnur, so das der Drachen langsam höher steigt.


    Wenn der Drachen nicht zuviel zieht, gehe ich an der Schnur Richtung Acht (Der andere Flieger hält die Schnur.
    An der Acht angekommen, löse ich den anderen Flieger ab und lasse weiterhin den Drachen mit Hilfe der Acht
    höher steigen.
    Diese Aktionen laufen ab Windstärke 5 ab!

    hier noch Infos über Paul Garber:







    I never thought the day would come when I would be writing the final farewell to my very dear friend Early Bird Paul Edward Garber, age 93, who passed away in his sleep September 23, 1992 after being hospitalized. He was the first President of the Early Birds since its inception in 1929. Through the years he served as secretary, president, advisor, historian and chairman of several committees of the Early Birds. He and Forrest Wysong did the "Chirp" for many years and most recently Paul was an active member of that committee since 1985
    The National Air & Space Museum was created in 1946 by President Truman as a separate entity of the Smithsonian and Paul was assigned as its curator. He was affiliated with the Smithsonian for 73 years. In recent years, the Garber Hill Restoration Center at Silver Hill, Maryland kept him busy getting old relics spruced up for showing. Many of the famous planes on display at the Smithsonian were acquired by the Garber method (finagling). "I'll beg, or do whatever is necessary to get the old, famous airplanes for display at the museum!" and he did, ending up with the most complete collection in the world.
    Although Paul was not great of stature he was mighty in action in the aviation world and held many awards for his efforts in preserving the history and the planes of early days of flying. The later years were spent giving programs and relating the stories about the beginning and progress of flying history.
    Paul's final resting place is in Arlington National Cemetery. He was preceded in death by his loving wife Irene "Buttons" and survived by two sons, James Paul and Edgar William and a daughter Barbara Jane (Barbara passed away this past week).
