You have so well earned a new number!
Wear it well!
Happy Birthday!
On your completion day and this morning on your birthday,
the "Jen Fin" has been dedicated to my heart hold of you.
For years and years I have slowly (I am slow on craft things)
hoped to find and build a solution to the unstable rotating
of cross kites; such stability challenge is usually solved by
long tails that cause secondary challenges for many tasks.
A large second option in kiting has been a very careful
construction of wing with very special attention to balances
and sail dimpling. Avoiding the super-craft care and avoiding
the long tail with its challenges would be neat. Well, the Jen Fin
seems to allow less-fine crafting of wing and allow non-long-tail
while giving emphatic stability with low mass and low drag.
During the early early morning of your birthday today my mind
was racing over little variations of Jen Fin.
Well, on eve and on today, the "Jen Fin" was made
and tested. Rock-solid stability obtained by the Jen Fin.
Named after Jennifer, birthday girl.
From this first effort I will go ahead and advance many
versions of the Jen Fin. Jen Fin will permit easier formation
of trains, coteries, clusters, and specialized arches. And best
of all, such Jen Fin presence from here forward will bring
a prayer up from my heart to the heavens for you;
you yourself have been a solid rudder for my life.
Thank you
for you ... a stability fin of my life.
Love,
dad
