  1. Used to prefer the White but after seeing that black, might need to get ALL the colours... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Very, very sweet bird! This drawing will be popular and hard to top. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Seven SUL from Sport Kite Design. It will be a colour match to my Seven Standard. I should have it in time for the gentle winter breezes. Then, I'm waiting on the development of the Vented version for Spring/Summer. How are you enjoying the "B"? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. My advice, Only get a kite you like looking at. If the red isn't your first choice maybe put an enquiry into them asking when they might get some other colours ones in. It may tip them over to do an order. I've flown both sizes of Walas (well at least the XL for sure) and they are fun as both glider and static kite. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Which one do you like better? The ghosts look very sweet by themselves, or in a train. The leviathan looks impressive in the sky by itself. I'd say the ghost would have less pull. Could always get one now and the other later... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Congrats. So close yet so far. Fly her well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. If you just want to fly, the Dream On from Skydog Kites is on of the best lookers in that range. Either the black or white. According to the "blurb" a quick bridle adjustment and then you can trick it too. I've got a Jammin' but a Dream on is my next 'dog. Get a RTF (ready to fly) package that has lines and straps with it. Or be sure to include that if it doesn't come with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Finished another one. Applied the same type on line retention as the previous one. This ones for my boy (6). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Hmmm, and I just topped up my PayPal too!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Do It!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I'm in. That's right. I got the international postage for this. I know what I'll put up if I win too. This is one cool lookin' kick arse kite and couldn't pass up the opportunity. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Not that complex... Call Flying Smiles kites, give cc number and addy, hang up. Seriously, it is dead easy to install and set up. Instructions are clear. Might see if there is one in B2 size??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Very nice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. The common French Bridal still has 5 connection points on the LE. The Revoholic French Bridal has 7 but I think that is a PAW special. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. I have one on a Rev1.5SUL that has a couple of other mods. IMO it makes the kite more responsive, some say sensitive, to your inputs. Twitchy is a term thrown around but I don't mind that as it is for very light winds. The connection points are moved further outwards from the centre. For about 25 dollars plus postage I think it is worth it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Whoa! That came round awfully quick. Drawing day... Now JB, get up late after a great Valentines Day dinner, have a hearty breaky, a strong cuppa and.... my number is #977, just in case [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I saw this design somewhere on the web where the winder looked like a rabbit. Apologies if it is copyrighted. Tried to do it from memory. This one is for my oldest (9) girl's SLK. This is kind of fun... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Second proto almost finished. Just need a small marine rope post for the LHS to loop off around and a coat of oil. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. My wife got me a Rasta Jammin for Christmas but haven't put it up yet. Well put together kite. Quality materials and great sewing. Really impressed me. Not giving this one up... Edit: spelling, damn phone.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. One thing with Rev rods, it's the internal diameter that is the measured one. The ferrule the joins the 2 rods is the same from Diamond to 4 Wrap. That's how you can mix and match different rods to create a different flexing leading edge. The difference in outer diameter would be very negligible. How thick is a wrap of carbon? The other thing with Revs and their frames is by redistributing the weight gives different flight dynamics. Not just actual flying but also slack line tricks. Don't limit yourself to a frame made only of the same rods, mix up with different weights and flex. The results will surprise you. That and holes can be patched. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Couple of days to go now. It's a glorious summer here in West Oz and we know how kites love the summer breezes... #977 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Nice try.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Less than a week... Let's get cooking!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. The only thing I know about those is the "Will it blend?" series on YouTube from Blend-Tech. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. Are you using a conventional blender or one of those nutriblasts? Curious as my family is going down this path. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
