Bridle Test successful. Ready for flight testing.

Bridle and Frame are all that is left.. While this kite will use a standard 1.5 LE, I decided to leave it with a slightly higher aspect ratio..

LE and Edge Binding is done.. will hopefully finish this kite up tomorrow.

First of the Gray Fades is starting to come together..Decided to use Black on LE and Black Edge binding to help frame the lighter center section in the finished sail. Since this is one of my earlier panels prior to me adjusting the pattern, I have to decide if I will leave it higher aspect ratio (i.e. shorter vertically) or add a strip of material to top or bottom to bring it to full 1.5 size... Kite is Black, Charcoal, Silver and White. Hopefully I can fly it this weekend weather permitting.

And this kite has found its new owner..

Had another opportunity to fly it today at Jockey's Ridge.. Sun was out and We were able to get some backlit shots.. Enjoy

I'd honestly have to sit down and count.. So much has changed since I updated my list last.

Thank You, I almost always fly 15" handles. It's just my preference.

The Verdict is in.. In low wind this kite flows through the movements well to my liking.. It is ready for the new owner..

First Flight of the Dark Sunset Fade Kite.. All in all very pleased with low wind performance.. Winds were hovering between 2-3 MPH with occasional gusts of 5MPH.

New Topic up.. Locking this one down..

Nicely done. It should serve you well..

Technically you can but Tape attracts dirt AND is heavier then the sail material. You could make covers with Cling wrap and hold in place with smaller bits of tape. FWIW, a lot of folks want a Mid Vent. you might be able to trade if someone has a full sail and would be interested.

Dark sunset Fade completed and bridle tested.. Ready for Test Flight and delivery.. (Bridle Testing)

Just a recap of the Icarex Adventure so far.. Only Completed kites included. The Grays and the Dark Sunset Fade are still under construction..

Just a quick collage of the kites I've finished so far this year I have pictures of.

The Brood is complete. Ready for testing..
