| To get an idea of what the wind speed
is, you can utilize a system called the BEAUFORT SCALE.
It was invented in 1805 by a British Admiral named Sir Francis
Beaufort, it uses smoke, trees, leaves etc to judge wind speed.
The scale ranges from force 0 to 12
(calm to hurricane), it is not generally a good idea for new pilots to fly in winds over
force 6.
Being familiar with the scale up
to force 6 will help you with your kite flying and bridle adjustments. |
