riffclown Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 BOTH!!! Only Concept and colors so far.. I'm thinking of embedding a very few lights in this sail, especially since both orange and purple lights are easy to find right now.. Not going overboard with this build.. just a few lights to bring out the details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breezin Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Well that's just GREAT 😡. Back to the Solus colorizer. Another color combo I wouldn't think I'd like but I do. Spend more time on those dang colorizers than I like to admit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Got a feeling that will pop in a back lit situation!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted October 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I decided to stitch with white.. If the Purple will act a bit as a black light it might pop at night.. I can also try to find some Blacklight LEDs. Either way, I think the white offsets it pretty well. LE will also be white. Edge Binding (and wear strips) will be orange. The sewing on the panel is complete.. LE is made.. Time to marry the two and start finishing up this project. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted October 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 LE Attached.. Edge Binding and finishing remain. I do seem to have a pucker near the center of the LE which I need to address but will wait until framed to see if that makes a difference.. I also needed to add a bit of build to the TE to give it enough belly.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted October 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Everything is done but the framing now.. Putting it away for the weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted October 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Framed and ready for bridling.. I will need to redo the center of the LE..attachment to the sail. I used a bit too much camber in the sail and the LE doesn't flex it out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted October 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I redid the center section of the LE attachment and the pucker is gone.. This sail is hybrid size. Vertically, it's a standard 1.5 size. horizontally, it's a 96" LE.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffclown Posted October 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Field Test was successful. Added a very quick clip of the ground view for the Inverted Kip Landing at 23 seconds in (75% Speed.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
