This video features the Zebra kite by Invento HQ. The kite flown is the production model demo kite. Krijn Hemminga, Bram Bijlhout and me (and others) tested the kite during Vliegerfeest Aan Zee Den Helder 2018 and at the Meijendel beach in Wassenaar. I also wrote a review about the Zebra (link below). Enjoy!

Video #100(!!!) was shot at the 10th Vliegerfeest Aan Zee Den Helder. Sadly this will be last kite festival in it's current format. It was a super weekend with good weather, nice wind and a lot of friends. Enjoy this little impression.
New video featuring the Sparrow:
OSTK Episode 25: Sparrow
Episode 25 of Open Source Trickkites features the Sparrow designed and released by Peter Maternus (PAW) and built and flown by Krijn Hemminga using a alternative panel layout. This was the maiden flight of the kite at Vliegerfeest Aan Zee Den Helder 2018 in a gentle sea breeze. Not all possible tricks are in the edit but it should give a general idea of the style and flow of the Sparrow. Enjoy!

Sparrow by PAW (Bauplan in der Kite & Friends)
Very nice, Dario!
very nice set!
This episode of BTTOS features the HQ Obsession 1999. This kite and i will probably never be real friends due to it’s quirkiness and narrow sweet spot/windrange. It can do some pretty sweet flat spins, axels and slides though. Flown at Formerum beach, Terschelling in a little breeze. Thanks to Chris Wojtas for providing the kite. Enjoy!
Yes, it's worth the discussion in real life and certainly not in a specific forum.
The sport is way too small for these kinds of bad talk and personal shaming.
I also think people will also decide from who they "buy" a kite based on their personal experience with a builder and the builders behaviour. Think about it.
MODBREAK PLEASE!
The bowline is there. It was modded by one of the previous owners (could be Dodd Gross, since his signature is on the sail). It runs from tip to standoff to cross to standoff to tip.
Yes i was looking for one for a long time! If i ever find a custom Matheson made version (with neon tips and nose) i'll let you know. I'll sell this monochrome version.
Aber Übung wird es richten nach meiner langen Pause samt neuen kite..Ausstattung ist übrigens p200 in der Lk mit pt5 in der unteren spreize...
Anbei noch ein Bild von der Kiste..
Very nice one!
I'll add it to the page.
Krijn's builds are up there with the best. It's very generous that people build kites for others who can't build their own, without making money. People who build kites know the amount of time and effort it takes. And many thanks to all the designers that share their kite plans and to the people that host the plans on their websites
. It's not free and takes a lot of time as well. We do it all for the culture!
sneak preview, mein neuer Standard.
Es wird in Kürze noch einen passenden weissgrundigen UL geben.
Mehr dann direkt von der Wiese..................
Very nice! I'll wait for a field picture before adding it to the Return Builds page!
I recently found this kite for sale online. The Midi was one of my grails for a very long time. The Midi is constructed with Ventex sail material and Avia pultruded rods and flies very well in a smooth breeze. This was shot during a morning session on the Lies beach, Terschelling. Enjoy.
Quick session with Wilfred at Het Groene Strand, Terschelling. Flying the 100Sixteen and STX 1.8 in a very smooth breeze.
Flying my sister's 2 stack of Sieger's Vliegers (†) delta kites at the Formerum beach, Terschelling in quite a gale. There was a thunderstorm coming in and the lines started crackling due to static charge in the athmosphere. Pretty dangerous, so i went inside for a beer!
I always think your vids need some boom, maybe only more contrast?!
Yes, i did add some contrast. But i'll see if i can improve next time.
Thanks!
Yes shot in std gopro mode, not cineform. I did some colorcorrections on this vid, but i don't have a reference monitor. So it might appear different on different screens. The light was very weird at the beach as well (low).
Last minute session at 'De Slufter', Maasvlakte 2 beach. I recently bought a Zhiyun Evolution gimbal stabilizer for the GoPro camera that needed to be tested. Lars and i flying the 90Three SUL kites while figuring out how to film with this cool piece of tech. Enjoy!
The 90Three80 SUL is small, light, agile and a lot of fun. Small inputs and fast reflexes required! Framed in 4mm structil and Avia Skinny UL's. Very wide windrange. Flies in almost dead conditions but the frame can take quite some wind. This kite was a gift from Pierre Terbogt. Thanks a lot, mate! Flown today at the Meyendel beach near Wassenaar. Enjoy! (and remember to clean your camera lens...)
