Yeah, around january our culture program holds a big kite festival, I made some invisible fighters and caused some mass damage to other fighters, they provided us with glass thread which was great but I need to order better quality from India. What winds do you fly 7 inch kites in. It is pretty dangerous to fly a fighter with other expensive kites in the area but, I went to walmart and bought some drop line which isn't the best but it gets the job done for kite line, I flew my fighters at the big kite festival that is hosted by ABC every year in Austin. Fighters can also achieve breathtaking heights, During the kite festival (which is a plane free zone) atleast the one hosted by my cultural program, we tied like 9 spools of thread together and sent a kite ultra high and managed to bring it down without it breaking, fun times.

We had a surprise kite festival, it was pretty fun and I flew my dual line

yeah! having fun is wayy important, Im visiting disney universal and all of that. Im starting up a pressure washing business but only after I get my drivers license and get a bike. You should probably change your country to the states, it says afghanisatan by default

havent recieved the parts or icarex yet but I have exams so I have been using every free moment to study, I am ordering the parts tonight so I can finish a kite before I head to orlando for the summer

Il be waiting for that fulcrum, where do you get your handles from? Besides that, did you know you can hook up 4 lines to a rok and fly it like a quad, go to youtube for more but I think its pretty cool

yeah, what projects are you planning on next? something with more techniques like applique maybe?

yeah I am going to make the sail look nice and all and spar it temporarily with these cool long and thick skewers I found then just order some online.

Till my order comes, I am building a 6 foot rokkaku out of this really thin tarp I found at harbor freight. I will try to make it a hard worker so I have something to chuck in the sky if I have no other kite.

what specifically would be good for framing one

Think I should make one out of those cheap harbor freight tarps?

How much is icarex, and what kite should I make from a small amount of some leftover icarex one of my other broken kites, I do have spars that I can saw but they are from the kite that wont fly (aliexpress haha). Do you think a mini rev is feasible or will it only fly in high wind, I have around a yard of icarex

Hope you have fun, I dont do much social media as I dont own a phone out of choice but I hope it was better than Austins kite festival, it was really humid that day.

Yeah im going to get to work but till the stuff I ordered comes, I am going to repurpose 2 kites that never flew and make them into fighters, the icarex is phenomenal on those but the kite is trash. Im practicing my sewing skills so I dont waste the icarex, I am making an essentials kite, maybe you should check it out for your next project but here is where I found it:- https://watty.us/kite-plans/2022/3/13/essentials Does the fulcrum kite look like this?

that is one tiny kite, by the way. I went to the sewing machine repair shop, it is in downtown Austin to it was really old but the ladies were nice but too talkative, they quoted 8 weeks waiting and 28 dollars for easy fixes and for most fixes it was 100+. I literally paid 25 dollars for the machine, they tried to sell me and my dad a 400 dollar + machine. I told them I was a beginner and my dad doesn't know much so they prolly tried to take advantage of it. Anyway I came home and was like: "why not" and opened the machine with my dad (he likes these types of projects). Immediately 2 set screws fell out, I literally put them back in and the machine works like new, didn't even have to fix the bobbin timing. I hope you enjoy the kite festival, take lots of pictures to post here. Austin's kite festival was pretty fun, I got to see some trick fliers in action. What material do you use for the spars on your fighters? I use bamboo that I collected during the Indian kite festival that happens every year. I had a limited quantity but I used them all so now I cant even make fighter kites. Anyway il be waiting for those stunt kite pics

Thats cool! to send a picture on this site, when you are writing a message/ reply/ post, at the bottom it will say "Drag here to attach or choose files", next to it, it will say "choose files" click on choose files and find your image in your file folder, then post and enjoy!

Yeah, I am ordering supplies soon and repairing the machine. Till then I will fly my fighters. I checked kites and fun things for the spars and icarex but what other parts do I need, connectors? Seamstick? bungee? mesh? dacron? mylar? im pretty confused so it would be pretty cool if you could put a list of what I need exactly to make a quad (except the icarex and spars) Also, post a picture of your kites, I would love to see your quads and even your fighters!

cool!, I have made a lot of fighter kites, not as much as you have though, I found a cool design for a quad that I like, know where I can get cheap handles? also how do I trace the design onto the fabric

So my sewing machine that I picked up yesterday at the thrift store has a piece of tape that reads "Needs repair but all gears are replaced" so I have been trying to find the problem, I originally thought it would be the feed dogs not working because they weren't but then I turned a dial called "flexi stitch" and it works. BUUUT the feed dogs are slow and so is the little thing that catches the thread where you put your bobbin in. Any fixes? -souren

I am still very new to sewing kites so I would really enjoy some recommendations on some good kites (plans with links please) to build. I think I would like to start with a quad kite as a freestyle dual line seems daunting. Also where do people get lines from, I looked online and they are soooo expensive. side note: Do those tiny kites fly, has anyone tried (if you don't know what im talking about il put a picture below) they crack me up but it would be so cool if they flew

Hey Michael, can you tell me more in detail about the repair. I used to make fighter kites but I don't have much interest in that and most of them were scrappy but im planning to make a quad and then some duals maybe; do you know any good designs for quad or dual line kites and where to find them?

Thanks Micheal, I just picked up a singer stylist 534 from a thrift store, Everything except the feed dogs work, time to get it fixed. -souren

Hey! im souren and I love kites, traditionally in my culture we like to fight with kites but mainly I am interested in quad lines, dual lines and single lines are also pretty fun. I enjoy making fighter kites but I am trying to get into sewing sport and show kites

I am looking to buy a sewing machine mostly for kites, I did some research online but there isn't much information, I was thinking of getting a singer 4423 heavy duty but I am not sure, any help is appreciated.
