Great stuff, Birger!

Honoured to host another great kite design on my site. Open Source Trickkites FTW!

Added it to the builds page!

Another epic weekend at strand Duinoord, Den Helder. Enjoy the video!

Thanks! That trick is called a Duplex. Most taz-happy kites won't do them as easy because of the nose high flare.

Just a little plug in a 9 years old topic:

OSTK Episode 22: Le Neutron UL | IckyTV

Open Source Trickkites episode 22 showcases Le Neutron Ultralight designed by Christian Derefat. This sail was made by Christian and framed (3pt/5mm structil) and bridled (3 point) by Fred Blok. Thanks to Wilfred Legebeke for providing the kite! Flown in some NSFW seawind at the Zandmotor beach. A lot of fun to fly and very capable in the tricks department, especially for a 12 (?) years old design. Enjoy!

You can find the original Le Neutron plans here:

i have a original sail, but framed it myself. I will have a look when i get home.

When i recieved the sail from david, these were the measurements he sent me:

============
MAGNET STD
============

RODS
----

ULE: 82,5cm P200
LLE: 54,5cm P200 (+8,4cm Ferrule)
LS: 62cm PT5 BD (+9,6cm Ferrule)
US: 46,5cm 5mm CFK
iSO: 20,5cm 3mm CFK (Lower LS --> Sail = 22cm)
oSO: 22,5cm 3mm CFK (Lower LS --> Sail = 24cm)

CONNECTORS
----------

Put a C-Clip on the upper end of the lower leading-edge. The bridle-loop will be
on the lower end of the upper leading-edge then. The lower APA will be above the bridle-loop.

Upper Edge of the APA --> Lower Edge of the Tiny-APA = 50,5cm
Nose --> Upper Edge of the LO-Cross = 54cm
Middle of SO-Connector --> Edge of the LO-Cross = 23,5cm & 31cm

Tailweight: 18gr (incl. Split Nock)

Episode 21 of Open Source Trickkites features the Mini Mohawk prototype by Robert Randolph (AirOeuvre). I received it in 2008 but didn’t really get along with it. Found the sail again in the shed and decided to frame it in all 6 mm pultruded carbon rods. Very nice little kite. Guess i wasn’t ready for it back then. Flown in some very nice Terschelling island evening wind. Enjoy!

First proper session with the 90Nine Standard which is the mid-size brother of the 90Three kite. Framed in Nitro ULE and LS, Nitro Strong LLE and 5pt Spine. Mucho gracias to Krijn for the sail! Beach of choice: Zwarte Pad, Scheveningen. Very nice seabreeze, despite the code yellow storm warning. Never trust the forecast at the coast! Brought the cam with nearly empty battery so i had to work with the minimal amount of footage i could shoot. Enjoy!

Epic sunday during the 2017 bootcamp at the XXXXL beach in Burch-Haamstede. Very good wind (sul in the morning, std in the afternoon), a lot of sun, a great crew and heaps of bad jokes. Here's a little impression of the day. Enjoy!

Very nice!

I think that this frame should work very well. The only thing i don't like personally is the 2mm standoffs. Too weak for wrapped flight. The extra weight in this spot might even help for the balance.

I'll put the picture on the website.

When i first saw the Trickshow VHS tape from Prism (+/- 1997) i wanted to have a Eclipse in white/grey/teal so bad! I found my holy grail kite in 2009 and it turned out to be the Super Ultralight version with Avia G-Force UL frame. Not that light compared to modern SUL kites but a certainly a lot stiffer then the STD Eclipse. Morning session at the enormous Zandmotor beach in a smooth yet substantial sea breeze. Enjoy!

Just some footage of the Magnet kite shot during our holiday on the lovely Sardinia island in Italy. Winds were challenging but it was still a lot of fun. The Magnet open source trickkite (designed by David Rüger) folds down to a small package so it's a very convenient travel kite.

Plans are available here: http://www.kareloh.com/kite-plans/magnet-kite/

I would advice to change the standoff-connectors on the lower spreaders. Those clip on type fittings eat your bridle and slide/pop off when doing lazies.

Ehm, i didn't measure the position and took them off allready. To be honest, i didn't need them at all.

This episode of Back To The Old School covers Psycho's bigger and older brother is : the Flexifoil Stranger designed by Andy Preston. Flown at the Zandmotor beach in light and moderate wind. Thanks to Chris Wojtas for providing his pristine Stranger. No mods, except for the temporary clip-on yoyo stoppers and i removed the trickline for this session. Enjoy!

Already the 4th edition of the La Ronde Des Vents festival at Bray-Dunes, France. We had a lovely, yet windy weekend. Nice weather, great friends, some beers and BBQ and a lot of kites. Many thanks to the LRDV organisation and all the participants for another epic edition. Great job! Hope to see you all next year. Enjoy the (longish) video!

Zitat von Jens Lück

Not saying that is any bad ... just questioning if that still can be call a SixthSense ...

I know what you mean with full nylon kites. They feel 'soft' mos of the times. But it's actually quite good. Feels like a Sixth Sense just faster and smaller inputs. This kite is based on a .85 build by Davide Equizzi himself which Krijn bought.

So is it a Sixth Sense? It is in my book.

Zitat von miwie

....once again a fancy video to spend some holidays in netherlands

Yes! Come over!

Episode 20! In this episode we fly the Sixth Sense .85: a scaled down version of the Sixth Sense by Stuntkite Palermo (Davide Equizzi). I borrowed Chris Wojtas' kite (thanks!) which is built in nylon spinnaker fabric and a 6mm pultruded carbon and Skyshark frame. Flown at Eendrachtspolder in light to moderate wind. Enjoy!
