Wow, very cool colors on the kite. I'll put the picture on my site.

It's hard to judge from that picture, but it looks like the upper spreader is higher in the kite then it should be.

In my version the upperspreader position is on top of the orange panels (see 2). It looks higher in yours, at least above the yellow.
Also the yoyo-stoppers are higher on the LE on your version. My version has the stoppers in line with the seam (see 1).

Also hard to judge from a picture but then the lower APA's on our version must be higher as well.

Did you use a "kitehouse" style nose construction? Like this:

It looks like you fitted a normal nose. This means the measurements are different because of that.

I'll have a look at my kite tonight and will see if the provided measurements on the site are correct.

Well, i don't think the LE's should be the cause of the taz and slot problems.
My version is with p90/100 LE's and isn't that stiff either. Still it does the tricks fine.
Are the positions of the apa's accurate?

You have to take in account that SUL tricking is a bit different from tricking with a STD version. The inputs can be different and slack management is very important. Also guiding the kite through the rotations.

Do you have a picture of your kite?

Flying the 90Three STD at Katwijk beach in moderate wind with some rolling susan and taz combinations. Enjoy!

Viele dank for the nice reactions!!

Indeed, you throw the kite in the backflip but pull one line right away (so before it falls into backflip) and you catch the fade with the lines. The lines stay on top of the kite.

Open Source Trickkites episode 15 features l'Organic, a trickkite design by Christian Derefat. This is the scaled up 108% version flown at the Katwijk beach. Thanks to Krijn Hemminga for providing the kite.

Plans are available here (just scale all measurements 108%):

End Of Line STD Terschelling | IckyTV

Just some tricks and lines with the EOL of Ulzburger Kites at the enormous beach of Hoorn, Terschelling.

Another older Open Source Trickkite design featured in episode 13 of OSTK: Skyforce's Telica. I believe this kite was designed in 2005. Flown in a smooth seabreeze at the Scheveningen beach in front of the Kurhaus. Thanks to Lars for providing the kite.

Plans can be found here: http://www.drachenwiki.de/index.php/Telica_(Bauplan)

Nice! Added it to the builds page.

Krijn's King in Portiragnes Plage 2016

I really don't know. I did it a bit loose on my Sixth Sense.

Sharp UL

Essence STD

MIG STD in Portiragnes 2016

Try first with a scrap piece of dacron for instance, and try to fit the rod+endcap.

Here's a picture of the nose construction:

Flew the EOL STD smoe more last weekend at the beach in Lab-grade winds. So much fun. Everything i could throw at it just worked.
Great kite, love it.

Small montage of the 90Three VTD with some rolling suzan combo's at the lovely beach of 's Gravenzande in a steady sea wind. Little mistake in the caption though... ah well, who cares. Enjoy in HD.
