riffclown Posted May 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Right side is sewn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted May 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Using the sewn pic above, I created a mirror image to plan the center panel. Thinking Silver, Charcoal and Black with White mesh.. I may add additional stripes. Just not wanting a plain center panel. Created the following concept image. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted May 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Second Panel is sewn. Time to take a break and continue this kite another day. Picture is the overlap shot of both panels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffclown Posted February 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 This kite now has a new home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunduki Vlieger Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 And I love it! Very nicely finished - good quality! Absolutely as good as new. Thank you for the good handling and support. That was a bit more complicated to fly the kite across the pond to Germany.

Bunduki Vlieger Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 Those of the gliders... yes. With quads I rather reduce to the essentials ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With quads I rather reduce to the essentials 😉 Yeah right....good one....the “essentials”....reduce?....bwahahahahaha!!!... (un)fortunately the essential list is still quite large....as it gets quite specific...the seasons are changing and the tides change as well so that means it is essential to have summer kites and winter kites....;) It is also essential to colour the sky differently depending on the colour of the sky....more “essential” kites....yay...... Quads....especially older revs....have yet another essential quality that is sort of lacking as well these daze....the different sizes. To me a 1.5 sized quad is still, after a couple of decades, a compromise between a 1 and a 2....music interlude....which in fact it is...but now the “accepted” size. So for this old fart flyer it is absolutely essential to have and keep the 3 “classic” sizes and of course all the sub categories....vents, frames, bridles et al..... And that’s not even touching on the other wonderful quads out there with the Rev styled sail....and the others....yeeesh. Darn essentiality.....maybe you’re right....;) Also I love the glider pix!!! I have gotten the glider bug hugely...hence more essential kites/gliders!!!!!!!! bt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunduki Vlieger Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 Well. Truly spoken. But the will is there to limit yourself to the essential things and not to buy too many toys on the side. The will – not the reality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leen Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 Actually it's simple, the list of quads is equal to the list of essentials. 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
