codykiteguy Posted June 14, 2004 Report Posted June 14, 2004 Rumor control tells me that it is very possible that there will be a 30 foot Cody at the Westport, WA. kite festival this year. I have also been informed that Dan Flintjer, the top Cody kite builder on the east coast, will be there to help with the launch of this kite. Anyone that will be in Westport for the festival, please send me pictures of the launch and flight of this kite, I can't be there but it should be something to see Quote
codykiteguy Posted June 23, 2004 Author Report Posted June 23, 2004 I have it straight from the man himself, Dan Flintjer (the east coast Cody Guy) is going to be at Westport this year to help out with the launch of that 30 foot Cody, it is also my understanding that he is providing one really nice kite for the auction. If you make it to Westport and get to see the launch and flight of this kite PLEASE send me photos at codyskites@msn.com PLEASE Quote
Penny Lingenfelter Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 Ahh, and I won't be there. That shold be kewl. I'm sure we'll get pics from somewhere. John you won't be there? BB Penny Quote
codykiteguy Posted June 24, 2004 Author Report Posted June 24, 2004 I really think John ought to be there, some body strap a camera to that boys neck and send him on his way, the festival is coming up soon and that 30 foot Cody isn't going to wait for you John Quote
uNDERLEAF Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 is this BIG ONE supposed to be a ManLifter? Quote
uNDERLEAF Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Rumor control tells me that it is very possible that there will be a 30 foot Cody at the Westport, WA. kite festival this year. One of Rick's Moments! Hah! Quote
John Barresi Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Hehehehe... Good one Frogman. Sorry to say, I won't be there... But if anyone cares to do a little write up and get a bunch of photos, we'll be happy to review it for publishing in an upcoming issue. Quote
codykiteguy Posted June 28, 2004 Author Report Posted June 28, 2004 Oh HA HA, Mr. Kirmit thinks he is real funny. This 30 foot Cody most likely would have man lifting ability if properly bridled, however they are going with a simple 2 point bridle rather than the 4 point, so "No John, they will not be giving free rides on the Cody" Quote
John Barresi Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 Dagnabbit! I was really look forward to it... I recall Bob Anderson launching his Green's parafoil (big one) with a flight strap tied about 15' down the line... So, this intensely powerful kite launches with me suspended about 10'-12' in the air... What a ride!! Quote
codykiteguy Posted June 29, 2004 Author Report Posted June 29, 2004 Wow, I can't even amagine being able to get lifted by a kite and then look around, what a rush! Fortunatly, unfortunatly, this kite is only working off the front boxes, if he bridled in the rear boxes, well lets say we are talking about some real possible power. Quote
mcddjj Posted July 9, 2004 Report Posted July 9, 2004 wow Codykiteguy I just checked out your site and you make some beautiful kites. Soon as I have the budget I am going to have to order one from you! Quote
windofchange Posted July 9, 2004 Report Posted July 9, 2004 Seriously thinking about doing the same here! Very nice kites. Quote
codykiteguy Posted July 9, 2004 Author Report Posted July 9, 2004 Hey there fellas it is good to hear that web site is doing something at long last! I am purely a hobbyist kite builder at this time which means I have a full time job and build the Codys on the side, it takes at least 2 weeks to build a kite, if you order something expect me to come back with something we can do to the color design to make it really differnt from anything else I have built Quote
mcddjj Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 I see that you updated your site and wow I am even more impressed! Nice work! Quote
codykiteguy Posted July 14, 2004 Author Report Posted July 14, 2004 ah man you embarase me. I do what I can, I will bend over backwards to build you a kite that is different from anyone elses Cody, I hate to be bored with the kite I am building. The guy that wanted the black Cody with teal stripes ended up with a kite with teal lightening bolts in the wings as well, you can almost see them if you look close. Thanks for your comments, like I say I just do what I can Quote
Mousie Posted August 28, 2004 Report Posted August 28, 2004 OK ok... so this is gonna look wierd being out of order and all.. but.... Doc and I earned our crazy cody flyin honors at wskif. woohoo.
