Backspin23 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 This a Rev 1 that my awesome dad just finished up. I helped out when I could. This is the standard, soon to come are the vented and UL in the same color combo, The'll be looking soo hot. The blue looks a little lighter in the pic, they actually look like the blue in my sig.

John Barresi Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 Pic isn't showing up, can I help? Quote
The Kite Shoppe Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 I've seen it! It is great! Very nice! JD, send the pic to John......he can post it for you Theresa Quote
John Barresi Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 Looks like he got it. Nice work JD! Quote
Penny Lingenfelter Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 JD you wanted a custom rev. Why didn't you make it all white and paint it? It looks great.. It looks like a rev. BB Penny Quote
Backspin23 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Posted August 16, 2006 I just don't feel comfortable painting something onto a kite. Just would rather do applique and make it all profesh. plus cutting out different pannels is easier than one huge one. and there would be stiches in the middle of teh kite, so may as well just give it different colors Quote
Grandpa Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 Okay, I've led a sheltered life. I didn't know real people made real kites. I thought kites came from the kite store. That is so nice. How long does it take and how long does it take to learn? Quote
Backspin23 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Posted August 16, 2006 Umm the total time to make the kite from measurments, to cutouts, to cutting and finally sewing took somewhere around 4 days. but that was the first quad we've built so we had to learn how to make it, the next one probably 2 days cuz we already have the cutouts so just picking colors and cutting materal is a sinch. to learn how to make a kite I dono my dad started by just making tube tails for his kite now he has around 5 nice single line kites to his name, plus this quad, and a dual liner. If you have any questions I'll run 'em though him and answer as quick as I can, plus I'm sure there are several quality kite makers in this forum as well. We won't bite. Quote
Grandpa Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 I've had my shots, I'm not worried about bites. I think that is so cool that you and your dad can and do that together. Are you the talented guy that makes the rev sigs for this forum? Quote
Backspin23 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Posted August 16, 2006 ya exept john animated his own, the others are mine. Quote
Grandpa Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 Those are cool too... Sometime I would like one that crashes a lot. Are you going to Seaside next month? We get there Saturday afternoon and I hope to see iquad fly. Quote
Backspin23 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Posted August 16, 2006 Yup I should be at Seaside, I look forward to meeting you. Will you be at Ocean shores this weekend, or long beach next week? Quote
Grandpa Posted August 16, 2006 Report Posted August 16, 2006 Just Seaside... I work at Idaho State University and no one gets time off the first week of school. School starts Monday the 21st. Hope to meet in Seaside! Quote
