Hi All, I am looking to sell a couple of MEFM kites. I have one MEFM that was purchased in Newport, OR back in 1994-95 that has been flow a half-dozen times or so. Fantastic kite, but getting older and now living in an area where it is challenging to find the good, steady winds that I use to experience on the Oregon coast. I also have one MEFM Australian that was purchased in 2008 in Newport, OR and has never been out of the wrapper. Regards, Bill Rice -
That seems awfully heavy for the size of the kite. Given enough wind and a proper bridle it can probably fly. As for the rest, apart from a few basic equations for angle and surface area, even NASA kite sails have an experimentally determined value, basically they fly the kite and measure whatever it really is. -

1st time box kite builder wanting to use pvc pipe, and couplings for frame with ripstop nylon sails. Plan on using light gauge small diameter pipe. Saw basic plans for 42'' high by 18.5'' width. Sails are 12'' high. Do I need to make size dimension adjustment for added pvc weight? Looking for rule of thumb answers. Any other insights as well. Max -
I have a kite that is framed with Dynamic tubes. It is not broken (yet) but I am curious if replacement tubes are available. Is there any source for dynamic carbon tubes in the US? Or can they be replaced with Skyshark? In the latter case, is there a cross reference table between Dynamic and Skyshark?
