Gentle East trade winds (15 knots on the ground, probably 20 at 60 meters altitude) were ideal for the Holyman (a 3 meters Rokkaku with holes), but the wind got stronger at 20 to 25 knots and I preferred to switch to a Delta Dan Leigh R8 to continue the maiden flight of the Leica M9 on an autoKAp Rig over the InterContinental Moorea resort & Spa.
