Filmed at Jockey's Ridge, Nags Head, N.C. As a manner of perspective, The Rev visible at 13 Seconds in is on 120' lines and handles were staked about 15' in front of us.

Thank You. Despite the weight, the kite has surprising low wind capability.

Pretty much raw footage.. Video doesn't do it justice.. The colors were vivid in person and the spinning kites had almost a strobe doppler effect.. Camera just doesn't show the colors.

Corolla Quad Clinic (Apr 7-8, 2018) **SOLD OUT**

Anticipation needle pegged!!! -
I let others familiar with the kite answer that question.. The reason I know about the tails and materials is, I make kites out of them.. Rarely do I actually fly with tails on the kites..
-
Several options.. OSK has 2" wide Icarex tails 33' long for about $13 each The Kite Shoppe has 1" x 40' Nexus Ribbon tails for about $7 g-Kites has several different options that should line u0p with your needs as well from Ribbon to Skywriter to transition tails.. Flymarket and Goodwinds also have several options to "make your own"

Special Space for Spare Spars. Said I was done making kites until the Quad Clinic so looking for other things to make.. Designed and made this Roll-up frame/spars bag tonight.. Holds roughly 17 complete frames.

Roll up Frame bag.. mesh allows you to see the fram markings but still keeps the pockets deep enough to secure the frames. Holds 17 Frames. -
Congratulations @RobB New Karma is up.. Locking this one down..

Scraps from kite making into small mock-ups for fun. -
It is quite refreshing to see that newbie energy.
