Does anyone have or know of a chart containing data on different tubes used in quad frames. I'm looking for information regarding strength, inflection/stiffness, length, ID, OD, and weight
Hey Paul Its Brian Wilson from WOW, I am shortlineflyer. I am ordering a custom 3winds quad but Scott told me it could take months before it comes in and there is a back log of custom kites right now. Im really just looking for a sail in a 1.5 size any condition. Ill fix it if i need to. I have skyshark frames and I have a 1.5 french bridle on order from Elliot Shook

I believe it is called a dead man's turn when doing a 360 with the kite in buggy. If there is wind you need a lot of speed and big balls. You have to steer away from the kite in a circle to keep the kite powered. Not an easy move to do. Usually you need a very high aspect kite like a x19 or vapor
I have my first official customer. He wants a 5-6 foot wide delta conyne. I am placing the order for materials this week. I can give people a discount on shipping if they desire they want something before I order the materials. I will be placing the order tomorrow evening when I get home from work around 7 pm.
I wasnt planning on doing anything like that. If I were to make a kite for someone it is usually a plan that is readily available to the public or a plan that is provided to me by that someone.
I'm not really making an original quad pig since the original is much smaller than the one I would be making and i dont have an exact plan of the original I'm just going by pictures and drawings
I've been looking at the original quad pig and it looks like it would be very difficult to attach the spars the way they are on a rev. I think the original design with spar pockets would be the best route.
