Nice old school trick flying in the early morning light, Carlo. Loved it!

Great flying as ever. You make it look so easy.

Love your flying, Carlo. Everything comes so easy.

Great color scheme, Tullo. Do let us know what you think of the Escape.

It is a 6mm brass rod glued into the nock at the base of the spine.

I don't watch 8 minute long kite videos as I don't have that attention span. Except I did for this one. Nice relaxed flying and music choice. I'd but an X-UL tomorrow if it enabled me to fly like that. Thanks, Julius.

Very nice, Carlo. Very nice indeed.

Great kite. I bought Knut's custom EoL, which has a more radical framing than thestandard spec, and had my first long session on it in gusty 8-12mph
winds on Saturday

The trick timing is a bit different to the Magnet XLs I have spent most of the last year flying, but the fact that I could do every trick in my book on a first flight in less than ideal winds is testament to the quality of Birger's kite.

It's a shame Birger's stopped building, because the build quality is excellent, but it's fantastic news that is now available as an open plan. Good on you, Birger

Nice. Must hop across the North Sea and meet up with you guys one day.

I am a keen dinghy sailor who happens to fly kites, so just got a rope that I knew was tough enough to last.

The rope I selected was a Marlow 2mm rope with a 16plait polyester cover over a twisted polyester core. There is a dyneema equivalent, but it is twice the price and I did not think the stretch on such a short piece of rope justified the additional spend on the dyneema cored version.

I have used FSE Robline Dinghy Control Line and that is a nice rope. The cover is a lot softer than the equivalent Marlow, but do not see that is an issue for this application.

It is a white polyester core, but burns black.

Back in 2010, Tim made me some custom straps to his design but using materials I sourced, so I know the specification of both the webbing and the rope he uses for the loops.

The rope is 2mm sailing rope with a tough tightly woven polyester cover over a polyester core. Liros or FSE Robline will make something similar and may be more available in Germany.

Very nice set, Birger!

Very nice set, Birger!
Love the (not so) neon green on the LW.

Agreed. Two of my favorite magnet color schemes.

Great colour (or should I say color) choice, Paul.

Time for an IckyTV vid, Carlo?

Would love to hear your feedback on the Return. Love the fade colours.

I recognise that garage door!

Looks great.

I have Mark Clement's roll bar instructions (in English). If you want them, can you PM me your email address.

I found the Pro difficult to taz and backspin, but wasn't sure whether the bridle was right on the one I tried. Did you have any problems?
