This is a "replica" of Synergy Zero Wind Great Deca kite. Over the net I found only the spar lengths and the wingspan, so I decided to use plastic bags for the first "build", so I can figure out the whole sail geometry and bridle dimensions. Two weird connectors were needed but luckily I wasn't searching long and finally made them out of a bobbin spool :).

It's gold. I've got the Flying Wings Laima Kite, a single line glider. I use it once a year, it's just not my style. But the kite sleeve has got amazing shiny gold color. I thought Icarex would look the same. Now I've got 6meters left of it :).

My [RETURN] family is getting bigger: STD (white) + SUL (gold)

My second Return, this time SUL ( based on @PAW modifications). Framed with SkyShark P100 + SkyShark 3PT.

That was supposed to be gold Icarex, but it's more likely apricot, or something similar, so small disappointment here. I have to order color samples next time.

There's a small misunderstanding here. I don't want to buy Shadow. I was considering it in the past but decided to buy BadAss UL instead. They are similarly priced. I just wanted to say that BadAss UL is a good choice for a complete beginner and maybe the post author can consider it too.

Well I managed to make it once with BadAss UL ,just one minute before I broke the lower spreader.

I've been flying dual line kites for the past 6 months - cause most of the time I fly quads - so I can call myself a beginner. And I fly inland too.
During that time I managed to learn the following: push turns, stall, turtle, lazy suzan, axel, spin axel, fade, fade launch (rising fade), flick flack, cartwheel, snap stall, half-axel, half-axel to tip landing and cascade. My only dual line kite for 4-5 months was BadAss UL from LevelOne. It costs ~ 220 €. I can only recommend it. Just one tip: don't practice the dead launch !!! Yesterday I broke the lower spreader while practicing it. I'm pretty sure it was dumb to try it with an ultralight kite

Well, that plywood isn't ideal, but it's better than nothing.

Eine alternative Option zu Spinnaker-Streifen wäre, einfach die Kanten zu falten, wie Sie in diesem Video sehen können:

Verwenden Sie Spinnaker-Streifen an den schwarzen Rändern dieses Netzes?

In every big city you can find such plotter printer. There's a big chance you will find one near architecture school. Some of them even take orders online and then send prints via DHL or something similar. That's exactly what I did yesterday.

Another cool thing is they can print on a tracing paper. It's semi-transparent and tape doesn't stick to it so much. Imho way better than a standard white paper

Hey,

for the past 2-3 months I've been trying to build a dogstake, BUT without using fancy tools like CNC mill or lathe. I've got access to such tools, but I wanted something really simple. Something I could share with the community. Something everyone could build.

Someday I was cleaning my 3d printer and there was that Eureka moment: I could build a dogstake from 3d printer parts. Here's what I've got now:

As you can see, all that's needed is:

• 4x linear bearing rail sk10
• 8x bearing with 10mm inner diameter
• 4x washer (to make a groove between bearings)
• 10mm aluminum rod for shafts
• 1x linear bearing rail sk35
• 1x bearing with 15mm inner diameter
• 15mm stainless steel rod

And just three tools:

• pipe cutter (or hacksaw)
• flat file
• hex keys

The total cost is less than 100$

The last thing I need is the plate

Any ideas?

Great job! Thanks guys! Especially for the ZeroWind and VTD versions.

Now the last thing that OSTK is missing is a truly indoor kite ;P

What a pity there's no such repo of quad plans...

Great! Thanks!

Is there a chance to get the specs of the 90Nothing somewhere? Is it suitable for indoor flying?

---EDIT

I've just found it here:

Thank you very much for the plan once again!

Thanks, will try it

Ich habe gerade dieses Video gefunden:

Zusammenfassend sieht es so aus, als wären Seeger-Ringe nur für schnelles Prototyping auf der Wiese besser geeignet. Aber bitte gib mir 3-4 Jahre bis ich dort bin

To summarize, it looks like Seeger Rings might be only better for quick prototyping while being on the meadow. But please give me 3-4 years till I get there

-- Google Translate:

Für meinen nächsten Build werde ich Seeger Rings anstelle von C-Clips testen, wenn möglich / wo zutreffend. Ich mag C-Clips nicht so sehr, man kann sie nicht neu positionieren, Klebeprobleme usw.Hat jemand Seeger Rings ausprobiert? Die einzigen Nachteile, die ich sehe, sind:

1) Sie benötigen eine spezielle Zange (siehe Foto)
2) Sie können nicht senkrecht montiert werden

For my next build, I'm going to test Seeger Rings instead of C-Clips if possible/where applicable. I don't like C-Clips that much, you can't reposition them, glue issues, etc.
Has anyone tried Seeger Rings? The only downsides I see are:

1) you need special pliers (see photo)
2) they can't be mount perpendicularly

Hi!

Ich würde gerne die "Schantalle 150" bauen, habe aber zwei Fragen:
- Kann ich Icarex anstelle von Chikara verwenden?
- Kann ich zwei Schichten Mylar 70 anstelle von Mylar 160 verwenden?

Vielen Dank

Hey,

testing my new old Bernina, so this one was made from some scraps. Framed with Aurel Agil 400 + SkyShark 5pt.

Big thank you to the designer for releasing the kite plan publicly!
