riffclown Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Haven't made a Diamonds kite in a while. Thinking it's time for a blue fade Full sail. I have 3 different blues plus the polymax to give me a four color fade. Several options. Thoughts??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted March 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 FWIW, regardless of which one I make, Edge binding will be blue and LE will be White. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted March 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 After going through my Jon T, stash I found some extremely pale blue and decided on this design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffclown Posted March 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 So finalversion ended up pretty close to the original concept once trimmed to size. I did leave it with a bit more belly to enhance low/no wind performance. Framing will be done tomorrow. Bridle was done previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
