Flying on Long Island...

Your flying has always mesmerized me.  It's a perfect blend of style & skill.  Wow is insufficient.  Thanks Master,  SHBKF

Yes, it sounds like he may be getting ready to offer them for sale, too.

Thank you, Ralph... I'm still working on getting the feel of this one, but it is so stable, it's the opposite of twitchy, whatever that may be. I really like it ! If you look around on that 'other' site, you'll find a video of the Enigma flown in more wind by someone with some great skills. Keep your eyes open for these to hit the market, they're a must have !

"Other site"...

Link should be alright?

Oh, sorry about that... old school forum etiquette. 

 

 

Early morning, the house is quiet, the crow caws as I drink my coffee & watch Krijn fly the Enigma in higher winds.  Clarity of thought while all is well & I achieve some insight for my perception.  Flying in light wind is more graceful.  It calms my soul.  Each time you fly the world of wind is a bit different & the kite shows it well.  Higher winds have always excited me but the light wind is subtle & magical when you gently play in the sky.

Just out here in the woods,  SHBKF

I appreciate the thought, but KL is all for supporting boutique kite makers - I only wrinkle my nose when shops that don't support KL get plugged, but even then I don't usually drop the hammer.

I really should hang out here more   Renewed my membership to KL and all. Have been a dualie for like ever.  Recently have been thinking a bit about quads, who knew?   JB teaches a great flying workshop.   Everyone should attend one or two...

I saw a photo of one of your quad builds somewhere recently, gorgeous match with your Enigma...

Post it around here somewhere, folks would likely enjoy it.

Would that pic go in the sportkite section or quad section?

Steve... good to see you here ! Post some close-ups of the details you put into that awesome quad. I really like the way you took care of the leading edge and the top pocket of the verticals. 

Very nice!!! I too, would like to see some close ups of the back especially! Interested in how you did the LE and verts!

I would suggest posting it in Kite Making, linking photos added to the gallery.

 

I found some more clips of the Enigma...
