andre Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Hiyas, Wanted to show you folks my latest build, the Colibri XL. In flight on 150 foot lines: A Beautyshot: And for the curious, its wingspan is 22.3 foot Its not designed for tricks or dragging you around on the beach, its for craving the sky on long lines, 150 foot and up. It comes into its own at over 200 foot lines. Enjoy, Andre 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmay Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 andre, Might one inquire as to your asking price to build one of these beauties? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Chris, Given the size of that thing, its on the expensiv side with 750,- euro, plus shipping to the US, which is not cheap either for a 2m long paket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmay Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 andre, Hmmm! Roughly $850.00 US Dollars. Slightly more than I expected but not necessarily that bad. For that price could it be custom colors? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Yes, since each kite is custom made, color choices are up to the buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmay Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 andre, How many of these have you made? Is this your business; building kites? Is there any chance that you may be able to forward some more detailed photos of your construction technique? If so, I can forward you my e-mail in a PM.

andre Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hi Chris, Of those this is the first in that size. I hae a build a few that are smaller, just 4m. And yes, building kites is my business. Its just a small business. You can see a few close ups, on a different kite. here: http://www.gwtwforum.com/index.php?topic=12418.0 Of course construction technique depends on kite and material in question.
