How do I remove a gallery picture from my album?
riffclown replied to riffclown's topic in The Web Site (nuts and bolts)
Understood, I had a better picture with it in the air to replace it.. Kind of nice to prove it can actually fly I even took it by and showed it to Eliot.. He gave me some pointers.. I also now own Shook Mesh 206

This is the stack created by Kitebus owner Terry Murray. He sold it to me before he passed. He is sincerely missed. I fly memorial flights when conditions allow. -

Flown at the Ft Monroe Kite Day. This Supernova Extreme kite had been torn, repaired with staples, used as a show prop and stored in a shed for over a decade. Still working on getting it back to its well deserved flight time. -

This was in much better shape than the Supernova Extreme but still needed extensive bridle work. -

I realize it's an older topic but still relevant.. I made mine out of a Halloween tablecloth and cheap kite tails. Hold 13 kites, Plenty of Handles/lines and spare spars.. I do have to make another one now.. This one ifs getting overfilled..

Non Kite items perfect for Kiting.
riffclown replied to riffclown's topic in Adjustments and Modifications
I carry a selection of Carbon Fiber Arrow shafts as well as a spar saw and several short pieces of Fiberglass bicycle flag. I can make a spar any length in a pinch. Not nearly as stiff as Rev or Skyshark but suitable to get me through the rest of the day flying.. Certain stores blow out their arrow shafts after hunting season for as cheap as $1. Slice off the fletching and cut to your needs.. A soccer Ball bag is a nice room field bag for larger powerfoils..Come complete with backpack style straps. -
We're fairly close to each other. Get with me and I'll repair them for you the same way I did mine.

There are a lot of items that are available day-to-day that are not only good for their intended purpose, they are also easily used for other "outside the box" applications A few examples of items I've found to be good for kiting are Muzzy Extreme Bow Fishing Line makes very good sleeving material. I've used it to sleeve mini-blind cord to make pigtails, bridle attachment points and leader lines for my handles. I have also used an insulated soft cooler and or duffles for a soft kite bag. Foldable Wagon makes an excellent field wagon for those that carry more..stuff. This isn't outside the box but it works great. Coleman tent stakes make great kite stakes. Add a golf ball and you have $2 kite stakes.. Disclaimer. Use safety gear to hold items while drilling or fitting.. A broken guitar string makes a great sleeving tool. Just fold it in half and lock the ends together with a split key ring and/or tape. What have you found that does the job for you despite being made for something else?
