Was tunnelt denn da ab 3:50 so krass, bringt L'Atelier schon wieder was neues?

I hate folding Dacron.

In an old Dutch kitebook from the 90's there was a solution, I've used that idea to make an even more simple version.

You need two glue clamps and two metal plates, check pictures, I don't knwo the correct English name, and even don't know how they are called in Dutch. I just took a good look around in the DIY-store.

Now, push the plate together like on the picture below. Make sure the gap is 2.5cm exact and as tight as possible (under 1mm for sure).

Now take a long piece of Dacron and handfold the first 10cm. With scissors cut a point, this makes it easier to put it through the gap.

I did 40m of Dacron in about 3 minutes. This is fun!

I did not try this with Spinnaker, but I think that won't work as good. Too thin and not as rigid as Dacron.
Of course, for other widths of Dacron, this is as usable.

nein, das ist nicht so

When you pull left, it turns left, when you pull right, it turns right.

• The Nero is slow.
• Does not pull too much.
• Two-point-landing needs some space.
• Taz nice and flat.
• Yoyo not fast, needs a step forward when the wind is not too low.
• My favorite are the slots and the backspincascades.
• I had to change my timing in the roling cascade.

But that all is a first impression...

Ich habe auch ein Nero:

thanks for your kites!

(but my source is empty now, this piece went to diamondkites long ago)

I agree with PAW.
And apparently I made more mistakes, because I ended behind Miguel.

By the way: Miguel does not fly on a musictrack, it is the other way around! He composed the music himself and fitted it to the tricks.

i've got a yellow one

precision is very good, slow flight

kite is big, but a fast tricker

needs guiding, no slack, so no kite for pilots who still have to learn things

Krijn

Thin side up.

Good luck!

Nowadays I make the nose 2.2cm wide.
Tight fit.

Very nice!
I also watched Chris' Video. His Kite seems more nervous than yours. Bumpy Winds?

Aldo

bumby winds, or bumby pilot?
maybe bit too much wind?
i don't know

but of course, the P90 version is stiffer than the 4mm-version

Hi all,
I wrote a small article about a fantastic low wind tricker, the Sixth Sense.80 SUL. Also made a movie.
