Danny,

Sorry to hear about the fly away man, but it has happened to me on a few
occasions, whole kits gone in a flash..

The one thing you must be aware of is there seems to be a time early in
their training of ybs, that they seem to just "come together" It seems to be
when they have been released about 5 to 7 times for training tosses, they
just go like hell for their conditioning and surprise the hell out of you,
at least in my case, and possibly for you also.

It also seems to be when there is a high pressure day, great flying weather
and as you say they just go up until they are gone, but they really are gone
for good LOL !!

Well Danny, that has been my experience about this phenomena.

All the Best!

Hi Guys,
I released a kit of 4 young ones, 3 blue Hughes and one blue Lovatt, Release
time 5:15 pm, they flew beautifully together in a tight kit. After a while
the Lovatt split from the kit and took off on its own. The other three kept
flying great I took some pictures of them in the air and they looked real
good. Anyway they rose into the pins and I lost sight of them. I could not
even zoom them in through my camera lens, they were so high. They were real
high. They did not return , not even one of them. These birds have flown
here for a good 2 to 3 weeks now. What the hell happens to them I do not
know. All I fed them was two teaspoons of wheat. It's got me beat. I
spotted the Lovatt and was able to drop it, but no sign of my 3 little
Hughes. I will post some pictures of them in the air.
Cheers, Danny.
