Zitat von Speedneadle

Nach langem Speedy gebaue , war nun der erste Trickdrachen an der Reihe.
Vielen Dank an dieser Stelle an Birger für diesen spitzen Plan.
Die Materialien für das Segel sind alle Standard, beim Gestänge sieht das schon ein wenig anders aus .
Da ich Schwabe bin , musste ein guter Kompromiss aus Kosten und Performance her.
Herausgekommen sind dreiteilige Leitkanten.
Ab der Nase 40cm 600er dann 80cm 400er und wieder 600er mit 24cm bis in die Spitzen.
Der Kiel ist ähnlich , von der Nase 30cm 600er und der Rest ist 400er. OQS ist 650er , UQS SS 5Pt.
Gewicht sind flugfertig 260 Gramm.
Das einfliegen muss leider noch warten, da die nächsten Tage eher Speedy Windverhältnisse sind.

Grüße Thomas

Nice! Please make a picture in the field and i'll put it on the builds page.

Great stuff as always!

The wind forecast predicted a nice sea breeze just after sunrise. Arrived at the Zandmotor beach early to take the MugenKites Precog Mini I have on loan for a spin. Fun kite!

Superfly 10 Year Anniversary video:
Superfly 10 Year Anniversary | IckyTV

The Superfly was released 10 years ago on 11-11-'11 by Chris Goff and a while later production taken over by Benson Kites. This video was created as a tribute to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of this very successful kite. 5 pilots from 5 different countries contributed to this production. Congrats to Chris Goff for such an iconic design and to Tim Benson for still being the quality benchmark for boutique sportkite builders and hopefully for many years to come.

Pilots:
Grischa König - Germany
Garajau Seixal - Portugal
Linken Zhou - China
Gabor Nagy (MugenKites) - Hungary
KarelOh - The Netherlands

Nice one, Rainer. added to the builds page.

Both Leading Edge rods should be in front of the spine. As Jens commented: it's like this by design.

Habe fertig. Jetzt muss mir nur noch jemand das Tricksen beibringen.

Ziemlich nasse Angelegenheit heute, aber der musste einfach getestet werden.

Very nice one! Photo added to the builds page:

A fun kite game to play while flying with your friends, inspired by skateboarding: Add-A-Trick. Start by deciding who goes first. The first pilot does a trick. The second pilot does the same trick and adds a trick. If you miss a trick you loose. Can also be done with more than 2 pilots. A great way to improve your consistancy. Try it!

Summer conditions in october! I rode my bike from Rotterdam to the beautiful Oostvoorne beach to test the 90Three Vented Superultralight sportkite I have on loan from Krijn. He experimented with adding small vents to the 90Three SUL sail (inspired by Lam Hoac). The idea was to give the kite better handling in turbulent/bumpy wind. It works really well in a sea breeze too! It feels a little more solid and radical in flight compared to the SUL. Here's a little compilation of that session. Enjoy!

Here's a little video recap of our first kite festival since 2019: Wind Festival Texel 2021 at the De Koog beach. Winds were not ideal but the weather was fine on saturday. Good to fly with the Tricksparty crew together once again. Another huge thank you to the organisation and fellow kite flyers for making this happen. Enjoy!

Another nice kite on loan from Krijn: 90Six STD Skyshark version. This kite is framed in Nitro LS, P200 ULE, P300 LLE. Mango Icarex color accent. More mass compared to my 90Six with pultruded frame. Faster pitch too. Flown in very stable (moderate) sea wind on 40 meter lines at Meijendel beach. Love these late summer temperatures. Enjoy!

Here's a short video of Benson Kites Deep Space std. Had a corrupt video file of the other angles due to a empty battery so i had to work with what I got. Thanks Lars for providing the kite. Flown at Lies beach, Terschelling.

Early morning session with the BadAss superultralight in zero wind conditions at Formerum Beach, Terschelling. This kite is sooooo slooooooow. Love it.

I've added the specs of the 90Three 6mm version to the plan page:

Here's also a little video of the kite:
OSTK Episode 33: 90Three 6mm | IckyTV

Open Source Trickkites episode 33 features the 90Three kite with a 6mm pultruded carbon frame flown at Domburg beach in Zeeland. This frame works very well. The windrange is quite good and it seems to handle turbulent wind a bit better compared to the Skyshark versions. The tracking/speedcontrol/feedback is impressive. In tricks it needs a bit more guiding and slack management. The specs are currenty available on the plan page of the 90Three. See link below.

This is the original (unmodified) KRD Element designed by Chris Goff and was built by Kite Related Design. The kite was introduced around 2009(ish) and I still consider this to be a extreme kite. Had a go with it at Meijendel in a superb beach breeze on short lines (20m). Thanks to Gabor Nagy for providing the kite. Here's a small clip of that morning session. Enjoy!

Awesome and amazing! One of the best kite videos i‘ve ever seen!

But…plastic? Really? Can you also make some from sustainable materials? Like paper, corn, soja or something else?

where did you hear plastic? It's nano-tech bio material!

Summer in Holland! Nothing beats a trip to the beach on a warm day. Brought my 90Three SUL kite with a short lineset (20m) for a short session in a very steady sea breeze. Had a blast! Go build your own!
