The JMH Four Diamonds had a new frame which had not been tested previously. There is a slight issue with the outer ferrules as the fibre glass cannot take harsh treatment and will need to be sanded down and consolidated or replaced.

The kite flew beautifully after a slightly nervous hand held moment at launch. The long tail was successfully launched from the bag.

The kite was flown alongside the Parafoil from 1992.
