allaturcha Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Hello, I would like to make a full size (over 2m) dual line delta stunt kite. But I can't find any professional kite structural parts in my counrty. Also my budget is very limited. So I need your help for suggestions, What are alternative cheap kite fabrics and rods material ? Also I will need simple delta kite plan and construction notes. Thanks in advance Edited May 7, 2015 by John Barresi Moved this thread from karma drawings to kite making section.

GammoRay Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 "Cheap," "simple," and "very limited" are all relative terms! However, 2 meters is specific. A dual-line kite of this size would require modern materials for any decent kind of performance. Are you mainly wanting to make a kite of your own design, or merely get a fun kite in the air for just a few bucks? If the latter, you can buy a 1.8 m dualie from China, delivered, for about $12. (I bought a nice one for $10.50 delivered.) If the former, you can start by buying the kite and using its frame and bridle, plus you can use the sail as a pattern for your handmade sail.

makatakam Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I really hate to say this, but if all you want is something to fly around just for fun, get one of the Chinese-made kites with lines and straps. There are hundreds of them on e-Bay. You can probably buy four of them, assorted, for what the materials alone would cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
