Escape STD
Meine beiden (STD+UL) auch net...
Aber die beiden Voegel machen echt Spass!!!!
PS: Kanst die die blaue Raute in Deinem Profilbild entfernen oder z. B. gegen einen Adler oder so austauschen
Forza SGE!!!
Added this one to the builds page as well! Funny, one would expect the kite with lighter colors to be the UL. White LE dacron is also quite brave with the black volcanic sandy beaches there in Hawaii!

Nice! Added this one to the builds page!
Alles anzeigenAloha karel_oh,
thank you so much for putting my second kite (after my return STD) on your great web page https://kareloh.com/ !!! I really love it and it helps me a lot to build my kites. Thank you for sharing.
BTW its an Escape UL, sorry I forgot, because I am so excited to fly my 2 new kites (Escape UL+STD), that I always forget/have no time to take pics.... Standard pics follow too.
To your question: The thick black stripe is sewed to the back and the thin black strip is sewed to the front.
Why are you asking? (I am a very inexperienced kite builder and flyer and I would like to learn)
Take care,
Alex
Yes, what nurgus said.
I'll change the caption
Danke lieber Birger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool! It has a certain '90s vibe to it. Added it to the builds page:
Quick question: Did you sew the black stripes to the back of the sail?
I fly my 100Sixteen STD mostly on 35-40 meter 25/40dan.
Great stuff birger, should be a fun one!
Nice one! I love the 100Sixteen. I'll put the pic on the builds page.
The billow that is created just against the LE might be part of the reason why the Escape has such a wide windrange. The Escape remains slow and with great speedcontrol even in higher winds.
Making it faster is not a good thing for polyvalent sportkites in my opinion.
The 8th round of 'PILOT' features Lucas, Lars, Carlo and Ronald who all perform the FLIC-FLAC trick at De Zandmotor beach in Light offshore winds. See description and how to vote below:
FLIC-FLAC
The trick begins from either a Fade or a Pancake. Each sequence consists of the start position, the transit to the other position and back (e.g. Fade to Pancake to Fade, or Pancake to Fade to pancake). The trick is at least 3 sequences.
One sequence consists of a PANCAKE and a FADE. OUT can be anything that comes from the last position (e.g. could be a barrel roll or a 540), as long as it is clean and under control.
Wind: Light, variable, offshore

The Silver Fox 2.2 is a kite designed by Lam Hoac and produced by Flying Wings. This particular kite is the Ultralight version. Very pitchy for a UL. Flown at "De Kwade Hoek" beach near Ouddorp in a gentle breeze. Thanks André for providing the kite. Enjoy!

Nice! Added to the builds page.
The 7th round of 'PILOT' feature André, Lars, Krijn and Ronald who all perform the INSANE trick at the De Koog, Texel beach in strong winds. See description and how to vote below:
INSANE
The INSANE is initiated towards the top of the window, where the kite is snapped into a wingtip rotation and descends in a corkscrewing motion. The method and direction of the entry does not matter. As an imposed trick, the exit is flying out in any direction. As a ballet trick, it can be a landing as well.
Wind: Strong

Very nice flying of one of my absolute favourite kites.
Thanks for posting
Thanks!
Beautiful October weather with very light wind so I rode my bicycle to the beautiful "Kwade Hoek" beach near Ouddorp. I brought the Fury Standard sportkite I have on loan from Fred Blok (Thanks!!!). The Fury is a full size sportkite aimed at precision/team flying designed and built by Carl Robertshaw (5 time world champion). This particular kite is framed with Skyshark Nitro Strong lower spreaders and P3X leading edges and spine. I love how slow it flies. Slot Machines, Cometes and landings/tip stands are so fun with the fury. Very relaxing. Enjoy the video.
Check out Carl's website:
So er ist fertig. Ich hab ihn neu genäht da mein erster doch etwas schlampig genäht wurde…. (War damals mein erster selber genähter
Erstflug ist hoffentlich morgen in Malmsheim :]
Very nice! I've added it to the builds page: https://www.kareloh.com/kite-plans/return/return-builds/
Here's a small edit of a fun day at Family Festival De Koog, Texel. Saturday was cancelled due to very high winds and high tide. Luckily we were able to fly on Sunday in great weather and moderate to strong winds. A big thank-you to the lovely people who make this festival happen. See you next year!

Return STD P200 video:
Here's a little clip of a very nice morning session with the [Return] std by Ulzburger Kites at Formerum aan Zee. This open source trickkite by Birger and Philip Garbe flew very well in the light offshore breeze. Always amazed by the low wind capabilities of the [Return]. My kite was built by Birger and is framed in 5PT LS and P200 LE. Enjoy!
