riffclown Posted August 30, 2020 Report Posted August 30, 2020 I have to make 6 Leading edges over the next few days and wonder if would there be any interest in a Leading Edge video construction?? The construction techniques might be useful to some.. (My exact measurements wouldn't be useful to most because of the way I make kites) 1 Quote

mebeatee Posted August 30, 2020 Report Posted August 30, 2020 That would be cool even for us non builders, as it is interesting to see craftpeople/artisans/artists....pick one or all....demonstrating their skills. it can give us even more of an appreciation of our kites and adds a/the human touch. I remember "sugarbaker's" super detailed build vids on the GWTW site that were quite fascinating. iirc Steve Tapp (rip....what a person!!!) had some cool stuff as well. What's even better is when you have in your possession a kite that you've seen being built!!!! bt btw you don't have to give us your exact measurements....as mentioned above....lol Quote
riffclown Posted August 30, 2020 Author Report Posted August 30, 2020 OK You know what I meant.. I put together the first Leading Edge and grabbed some video.. I'll get it cobbled together for you.. Upon further reflection that video is not very clear (was kind of dark) You deserve better. More soon. Quote
riffclown Posted August 30, 2020 Author Report Posted August 30, 2020 Second video a little better. Still a bit blurry but I think it shows most of it.. Putting it all together now.. Quote
riffclown Posted August 30, 2020 Author Report Posted August 30, 2020 OK here is a first try.. I know there is a typo on the first screen.. I will get a better one out soon. Speed is 300% Real time took just over 30 minutes 1 Quote

riffclown Posted September 1, 2020 Author Report Posted September 1, 2020 Hopefully this version gives a bit more insight into the LE Construction. 1.5 sized and lime green for visibility. 1 Quote
