Good job Eric, you're learning quick for someone that really doesn't have anyone else around your area of Sarawak, Malaysia to show you! Thank goodness for Dodd's flight school DVD and Randy G's on-line videos.

Thank you Troy.
This is true that no one else around my area to show me. I was almost boring about flying stunt kite before I found Randy Greenway's Tutorial online (Thanks to the internet!). I got Half Axel from him!
In April 2006 I got my FC (my 7th kite), it come with Dodd's flight school DVD. At that time, sport kite flying became my best hobby! That DVD is poison! It poisoned me!
Yesterday evening, I brought my FC out to the field again. I almost got the Backspin! Maybe another long way to go...
Thank you Dodd, FC is a great kite to me. And thanks to Randy, very nice words explain tutorials.
(Troy, thanks for reply. I've read your last email to me. Will write to you again this few day. )
Eric

Glad to see you posting in here Dodd! Ya really should check in here "NTK Forum" as often as possible, because often times flyers ask questions that you are best qualified to answer, because you are the designer.
I hear that the FC UL should be available soon

HI! Dodd, great to see you here again! Thank you for the FC. I got Jacobs Ladder with it two months ago! Now I'm trying Comete...
BTW, I heard somewhere (don't ask, I can't remember!) that you are making new Flight School DVD. Is that true? If yes, when will it release?
Thanks again!
Good breeze!
Eric

Hi Eric, as soon as I do, I will let you know.
In addittion to designing for NTK, my role the past few years shifted from teaching and promotion to manufacturing.
I believe there has been a significant improvement in manufacturing made and feel that it is time to shift back to teaching and attending festivals again, the reason for the Flight School LIve 2008 tour.
A new DVD would be nice.
FLight School DVD is still selling very well. The instruction on the DVD is timeless so a new one would not have any of the info that is on the first one.
So tell me, what would you like to see in a new DVD from yours truely?
Congrats on your new tricks, good luck with the Comete.
(of course the comete and Jacobs ladder would be on a new video)
best winds

Oh! Thank you very much!

Err... some documentary in New Tech kite factory... some greeting words from New Tech people will be very nice... some international fliers flying(like Troy flies multi Desire!)... some of your old competition video if any... And of course! More trick flying tutorial!
And... with multi languages subtitle will be great! English, Chinese, German, and etc. (Since you often go to China, find someone to translate there.)
Am I asking too much? :oops
BTW, when is FC UL release?
Best wind to you too!
Eric
