lieber den Kiel etwas länger lassen und am fertigen Drachen einpassen. Dazu baut man den Kiel zunächst ohne Mittelkreuz ein und ermittelt die korrekte Länge; korrekt ist es dann, wenn die Saumschmur sauber durch die Nocke geführt wird und diese (die Nocke) bündig mit dem Segel abschließt. Wenige mm Überstand sind durchaus erlaubt, gerade so, wie es deine Saumschnur erfordert.
This is the way!
Nice one! Love the original layout... so clean. Added picture to the builds page:
The N3O by True Element Kites was developed by Max Plischke from Germany. It's a light weight sportkite (3pt LS) without an upper spreader (string instead). This time flown at dusk at the Formerum beach, Terschelling in a very light sea breeze. Enjoy!

Alles anzeigenScheint so, als ob der Sixth Sense ein wenig aus der Mode geraten ist; immerhin ist der letzte Beitrag hier 3 Jahre alt.
Hat mich dennoch nicht davon abgehalten, diesen wunderschönen, großen Drachen zu realisieren
Danke an Speedneadle für das perfekte Segel, das mit vielen, besonders durchdachten Detaillösungen zu überzeugen weiß.
Stäbe hat er von mir wie folgt bekommen:
LK oben Crystal Z1
LK unten Crystal Z2
OQS Exel 6mm
UQS Crystal Z2

Nice, make a picture outside when you first fly it. I'll put that on the builds page.

Where are you from JonB ?
I like it, old school vibes.
Nice! I would like an outside pic for the builds page.
New N3O video
The N3O by True Element Kites was developed by Kirbisbirne . It's a light weight sportkite (3pt LS) without an upper spreader but it can handle more wind than one might think. Lars and I flew it on a very warm mid september day at Zandmotor beach with extremely variable off shore wind. Still it was a lot of fun to fly. Looking forward to test it some more in good wind. Enjoy!

Another clip of a holiday session from a few weeks ago. This time with the 90Three STD on 40 meter lines. Enjoy!

New Magnet 112% video:
The 112% is the larger brother of David Rüger's open source kite design "Magnet". The kite in this video is the super ultralight version. Slow and quite precise in flight and articulate in the execution of tricks. Single pop yoyo's are possible but 2 pops have a better succes rate. Flown in a very light sea breeze at Formerum Beach, Terschelling.
Go build one! More info and plan files:
Ein weiterer Cuben Escape ist fertig. Diesmal in einer XSUL Variante, bestabt mit Zero Air und 2PT kommt er auf 146 Gramm.
Nice! Added to the builds page.
This full Nitro Widow Maker sportkite by Sky Burner was kindly lend to me by Ronald van Zijl (thanks!!!). I brought it on a trip to the dutch Wadden island Terschelling and I shot this video during the first session in very nice and stable sea breeze at Formerum beach. Lines used: 50kg, 40 meters Climax Protec. The graphics on this kite are not really my cup of tea but it sure is distinctive and it has a great presence in the sky. Nice feedback on the lines and quite easy to trick. Wasn't able to do any acceptable tazmachines though. It deserved a slightly longer video, so here you go... enjoy!
The 90Three80 is a 180 cm wide version of the 90Three sportkite. Named before we had the naming convention dialed in. The kite was a gift from our late friend Pierre ter Bogt. Since it was Pierre who introduced us to this Burgh-Haamstede beach spot it was only fitting to fly his kite there. We still miss Pierre a lot...

not my kind of kiting, but an awesome performance
Thanks!!
