Alles anzeigenI mostly fly on the beach ( Lübeck-Travemünde or Blavand, Henne Strand in Danmark )
I think karel_oh's suggestion is a little bit better.
karel_oh :
Can I get the dimension of the bridle?
What materiale are the upper spreader, spine and standoffs?
Do the kite has a weight?
Hi, I can't help you with this since I don't have the kite at home anymore. Sorry!
karel_oh The OneEleven with Full 2PT Frame works very well, it's no trick monster, but very floating. You need a good feeling for the inputs and slack management. Leading the kite in the tricks is the key. It's a very good kite for Inland Wind. It need 2 - 3kmh in inland. You must make a difference between a kite which works great near the nothern sea and a kite wich works great near the alps.
For example your 90Three SUL or your 90Nine SUL are great kites, I love them, but compared to other SULs they have weaknesses in the lower wind range inland.
For me the Badass SUL was little better and easier to trick at the same wind range than the OneEleven SUL.
Fair enough, based on the avatar of Drachenwal I thought he flew near the beach. Still... 2 pt lower spreaders in a full size kite is too light (for me).
Edit:
Stubben is near the coast right?
Alles anzeigenGuten Morgen
Ich möchte einen One Eleven SUL mit 2PT Stäben aufbauen.
Kann mir jemand die Waagemaße für den One Eleven SUL geben?
Wird beim Kielstab 1 2PT (1016mm) oder 2 2PT (826mm) zusammengesetzt genommen?
Welches Gewicht habt ihr genommen?
Viele Grüße
Bernd
Maybe think about framing it in 3pt instead. I had a 1Eleven on loan with 5pt Lower Spreaders and p200 Leading Edges. This was flying and tricking in next to no wind allready because it's such a big sail surface (video here... look at the windsock). 2pt all around would make it too light and fragile in my opinion. You need some mass to trick.
1000 subscribers on YouTube! Feels quite special in our little dual line freestyle kite niche. Top pilot Samuel Roger was the 1000th subscriber. Thanks a lot to all people involved! There will be a little price draw to celebrate. More info soon.
This video was also shot during a very nice late afternoon/evening session at De Noordsvaarder, Terschelling. The Assassin Ultralight sportkite by MugenKites is a lot fun! The wind was quite amazing too. Enjoy!

Ich bin nun auch stolzer Besitzer eines Escape. Ich bringe mal etwas Farbe ins Spiel
Vielen vielen Dank an den Erbauer Coyote. Das ist wirklich TOP Arbeit!! Wenn noch ein UL dazukommt versuche ich mich mal selbst mit dem Bestaben.
Ich kann der Erstflug kaum abwarten - hoffe ich schaffe es morgen zumindest kurz an die Elbe.
Nice one. Superfly vibes. Added the pics to the builds page:
The SUL is the (almost) no wind version of Level One's popular BadAss sportkite. The pultruded frame combination and sail construction makes this kite 60 grams lighter (200 grams) compared to the UL version. Veeeeeery sloooooow in flight and tricks. Flown in a very nice sea breeze at Noordsvaarder, Terschelling. Enjoy!

Done!
Nice one! Added to the builds page.
Another amazing edition of La Ronde Des Vents with some of the best winds ever. Many thanks to the volunteers from Le Vent De Bray-Dunes and all participants for running such a great event. See you all next year!
The Noordsvaarder at the island "Terschelling" used to be a shooting range for the air force. The humongous beach is one of my favourite spots to fly sportkites. I rode my bike there when the wind was dropping to lab grade conditions and flew untill dusk. Here's the first recording of that session with the MugenKites Precog standard sportkite. The heavier frame has just the right amount of mass for smooth combinations. Love it.

The OneEleven is a fullsize (260cm) sportkite designed by Grischa Koenig and produced by Level One. Originally equiped with a full pultruded carbon frame and later also available in versions with an upgraded frame. The OneEleven flown in this video was reframed with Skyshark 5PT and P2X. This large wing performs very well in the lightest wind, probably due to it's highly efficient sail shape. Flown in variable windspeeds at Oostvoorne beach after a nice late afternoon bike ride. Lines are 25kg, 30 meters. Thanks yet again Matthieu for providing the kite. Enjoy!

Lars Fakkeldij flying the Break XP at Zandmotor beach. The Break is the smaller sibling of the Escape sportkite designed by Birger Garbe (Ulzburger Kites). Stephan K. (SWP) modified the frame by replacing the pultruded leading edge rods and spine with arrow shafts. This version is called Break XP. JensHH from Hamburg kindly offered to send his new and unflown Break XP to me to test and film.

Nice one! Midnight blue works really well. Enjoy!

Hier auch mal mein Std XP, perfekt gebaut von Coyote:
Also added to the builds page! Nice one. Have to try the XP one time, but I don't want to change my STD build by Birger.
Alles anzeigenDie nachfolgenden Zeilen könnten auch in der Rubrik „Schaut was ich gebaut habe“ stehen; ich habe mich dann aber für diesen Thread hier entschieden.
Inspiriert durch Max‘s Kirbisbirne Alphakites X UL -der mich sehr anspricht- habe ich für mein 4. Selbstbauprojekt eine mutige Farbwahl getroffen.
Ich habe mir sagen lassen, dass Enrico Coyote, der den X von Max gebaut hat, angesichts des Farbwunsches anfänglich leicht irritiert war. Beim fertigen Ergebnis soll er aber nicht abgeneigt gewesen zu sein, das als interessant zu bezeichnen.
Gebaut habe ich einen Break XP in neon pink und lila.
Das sieht so aus:
Während der Bauphase hatte ich überlegt, ob man an der Bestabung nicht doch noch etwas verändern könnte, mich dann aber nach einem Brainstorming mit Stephan @SWP entschieden, es so zu belassen, wie es ist. Stephan hat wahrscheinlich mehr Gefühl in den Pfoten, als ich jemals haben werde
Die schwarzen application-stripes waren notwendig, damit die Paneele links/rechts optisch gleich groß wirken. Wir nähen ja dunkel auf hell.
Daniel Szobel: sorry again for my

The Matrix is a open source trick kite designed by Mario di Biase and Alberto Cavati from Italy (custom sail design by me) which was also featured in OSTK episode 24. Finally some cold and dry winter weather! Had to take advantage of the frozen meadows. Wind was quite variable but still fun! Enjoy!

Here's a little video recap of 2023. Best wind and wishes to all for 2024!
The ONE by German kite manufacturer Level One is a so called "Cruiser Kite" developed by Peter Maternus (PAW). It's slow and precise and suitable for beginners. Not specifically designed for tricks (no yoyo stoppers for instance), however it is capable of freestyle moves. The shape is rather unusual and no upper spreader and leech line are fitted in this kite. Flown with short lines at De Zandmotor beach in a smooth winter breeze. Enjoy!
