This version of the Vento by HQ came out in 1998 and was an update to the original Vento from 1997. A rather small wingspan, all Ventex kite (165cm) with pockets in the sail near the wingtips. Easy to fly, but not as capable in tricks compared to it's predecessor. Still a lot of fun to fly in light wind. Flown at Maasvlakte 2/Slufter beach on a very nice March afternoon. Enjoy!

Magnet Nr. 3 und damit das letzte Projekt in diesem Winter.

LK Crystal S5, UQS Crystal Z2, Skylon Edge 300 Kiel und OQS 6er Exel.

Für'n Strand, da ist's meist was windiger...

Nice! Also added to the builds page

Zitat von Wofgang-Ufo-Fischer

macht es einen grossen Unterschied,wenn man das Segel mit geschlossenen Kappnähten näht, oder wäre das evtl. von Nachteil...?

Another difference is that it will change the way the fabric stretches. Instead of having 2 layers with a three step zigzag, there's now 3 or 4 layers with 1 or 2 folds and straight stitching. Not saying it's going to make a huge difference in how the kite will perform but it will change the way the sail will "set" after breaking it in. In sail with a lot of different panels it wil also increase the weight a bit.

Using different seams will also require to add more allowance for the seams.

Danke karel_oh

Und hier ist es:

Lovely! which color is it?

First flight of 2026, and the first serious session since October. Life get's in the way sometimes. Good to back on the lines and even more so in this beautiful winter wonderland. The Little Wonder prototype by Mugen Kites deserved another video. A smaller version of the 9th Wonder sportkite. Might be a new favourite. Thanks Gabor for providing the kites to fly and film. Enjoy!

Lars and me flying the Oberon sportkite by MugenKites at the huge De Hors beach, Texel. The Oberon looks and feels a bit more like kites from the Deepspace era. In tricks it behaves like modern trickkites with a deeper backflip and a good taz. However, there's no deadspot in the flare and axels and flatspins can be done very nicely. Pitch (forwards and backwards) is very good too. Enjoy!!!

Zitat von Bruno85

Danke Thorsten und Ulzburger für den neuen Escape-VTD-Plan!

Vielleicht könnte er auf kareloh.com hinzugefügt werden karel_oh

Done! Don't forget to post a pic when you build one. I'll add them to the builds page.

Ulzburger do you have a picture of Thorstens VTD?

Both are added to the builds page! Nice!

Flying the Little Wonder prototype by Mugen Kites for the first time. A smaller version of the 9th Wonder sportkite. Flown in the early morning in low wind on 30 meter lines in Bray-Dunes, France. Filming by Lars Fakkeldij. Enjoy!

The windy edition. Too much wind on saturday and sunday but monday was great! Thanks to the organisation for hosting yet another great festival in Bray-Dunes. See you next year!

Zitat von Ion

Erstflüge sind absolviert. Krasse Kiste. Hat weniger zug als Break und Break XP. Rotiert ziemlich schnell, Taz ist ein Traum. Yoyo geht sehr sehr flott, auch mehrfach. Hat aber auch gut character. Cascade ist ne richtige Herausforderung. Deadpoint im Turtle riesig. Viel schlechter als bei den beiden originalen. Ich hab das Gefühl da ist zu viel Gewicht im Hintern. Werde das nächste Mal ein paar Testgewicht mit auf die Wiese nehmen. Fluggeschwindigkeit und Präzession gefallen mir super. Ecken gehen bissl leichter von der Hand.

Was a bit behind with adding builds to the builds page. Just added Bruno's UL and Ion's Xflow.
