It's including vinyl cap and FSD splitnock if i recall correctly.
Another [Return]:
From Paul Eiler (OCpablo), USA.
Fixed the video link!
My classroom at work has a industrial lasercutting machine. Used it to cut Icarex sail cloth for a trickkite build.
Very handy. The panel drawing (DXF) go right into the machine. No more template printing and cutting by hand.
The edges are perfectly sealed and all the panels are exactly equal. Also possible to cut multiple layers. I also used it to cut out the dacron reinforcements.
Works like a charm.
Aber 290g hört sich schwer an...

Same goes for a lot of production kites, Peter.
The fun (for me) of open source kites is not having the same kite, but a kite which you build yourself and tweak for yourself.
Very nice!!
NIce builds! Added both to the builds page.
Very nice Simon,
Curious how it flies/performs, since the STD's windrange goes quite low already.
What frame did you use?
I will add the picture to the [Return] builds page!
new plan file with measurements is online!
A new kite design by Birger Garbe (Ulzburger Kites) called [Return] is featured in episode 23 of Open Source Trickkites. Flown in light winds at a very nice spot near Rhoon. The [Return] turns out to be a very efficient design and tricks quite easily. It feels familiar compared to Birger production kite (End of Line) but the [Return] is clearly designed more towards tricks. Big thanks to Birger and Philip Garbe for designing and releasing the kite and plans publicly.
Plans are available here: LINK

And here's mine (built by Ulzburger):
Ein herzliches Dankeschön an clifford für die großzügige Beteiligung an den Entwicklungskosten. Noch mehr freue ich mich aber darüber, dass der Magnet auch mehrere Jahre später in so unterschiedlichen Formen vielen Menschen Freude bereitet!
Yes, great stuff David. Magnet still going strong.
Just a small impression of a fun weekend with the Tricksparty NL crew at Wind Festival 2017 @ De Koog, Texel. A bit of rain but great wind on Saturday with a very nice late afternoon sun and seabreeze. Sunday started off-shore with sun and storm in the afternoon. Thanks Windfestival team and all people involved. See you next year!
Time for an IckyTV vid, Carlo?
Would love to hear your feedback on the Return. Love the fade colours.
Well, maybe...
Danke schon Birger! Very nice kite. Super building quality. Hoping on some time and nice wind this weekend.
