Our anual midsummer weekend at the enormous Burgh-Haamstede beach was yet another epic edition. Three days of perfect conditions, some refreshing storms, heaps of kite flying and a lot of ice cold beverages. Here's a small recap of day 3. Enjoy!

Strong wind today, able to take it out. I need to experiment with weight and bridle a bit, but it flies nice. It axels nice (I was able to do several double axels, something I've never done on another kite). Great fade (did my first Jacobs ladder). Couldn't find the taz, but hit a few 540s (requires big input with my current settings)

Nice, added the pic to the magnet builds page.

Crazy wind complete. Now I just need some high wind to test it out!

Nice one! Curious about how it performs. Reminds me to fly my Magnet again.

Flew the Escape std sportkite by Ulzburger Kites on a very gloomy day at De Zandmotor. For some reason the camera lens was fogged up resulting in this very blurry footage. Decided to roll with it. Enjoy!

The Antih3ro is a prototype in development by Max from True Element Kites. This is the light wind version (LW). Flown in a very nice morning seabreeze at Zeebrugge beach, Belgium. Enjoy!

Here's a recap of a the 10th edition of La Ronde Des Vents in Bray-Dunes, France. Super nice weather, huge crowds of spectators, plenty of cold beverages and good friends. Oh, and we flew some kites too... Mega merci to the people of Le Vent De Bray-Dunes for organising yet another super nice event. See you all next year! Enjoy!

Sehr sehr spät, aber das hatte ich schon lange vor...
Ich wollte euch in diesem Thread einmal dieses wunderschöne Exemplar eines Escape STD zeigen.
Mein großer Dank gilt Enrico a.k.a. Coyote, der dieses Exemplar im Sommer 2021 gebaut hat, sowie Ulzburger für das Design und Kareloh für das legendäre erste Video in diesem Thread.

Hallo,

ich möchte euch meinen Eigenbau zeigen.

Dank tollem Plan und "how to build" Video ist mir ein Escape STD gelungen.

Danke an Ulzburger und Coyote.

Very nice! Both kites added to the builds page:

Another epic edition of the tricksparty weekender in Zeebrugge, Belgium. Here's a recap of the fun we had. Biiiiig thank you to all people involved. See you next year!

wrong caption!

Krijn had a slightly smaller print of the 90Nine templates lying around and decided to build 2 sails: hence the name “90Six”. My version is framed in single piece 6mm Exel Cruise lowerspreader and spine, 5,5 mm Structil leading edges and 5 mm upper spreader. I quite like it, especially with the leech line completely loose. Nice feedback, slow in flight and reasonably precise. This video was shot at Maasvlakte 2, Slufter strand. Enjoy!

This video was shot at “Het Drenkelingenhuisje” located on the beach near De Boschplaat (UNESCO) nature reserve on the uninhabited eastern part of Terschelling island. Well worth the bike ride and hike. Enjoy!

Passwords removed. Get building again!!

This went far enough...

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.
