Yeh,it looks proper good imo.

The sail patern/design realy lends itself to the venting design that Bruce has done.The performance is realy good.Thats the best thing about it.It feels like it should feel.Like a REV.

really good looking design guys...almost started slicing up one of my kites, been talking to bazzer, & decided to wait to see what he may pull out of his bag of tricks...until then, he suggested heavier lines, 150#'s...he also suggested whiffle balls at the sleeving ends near the kite to disperse the winds...i was also thinking about those nerf balls...he also suggested anything fuzzy wrapped around the bridle lines...the idea is to disperse winds somewhat like a spoiler would, so the kite does not take on so much stress...g

If you want to play I would suggest the opposite direction, the standard kite has more than enough drag, try reducing both drag and weight, it makes for a nimble kite with a decent wind range, btw the mesh used in Bri's kite is not standard insect mesh it was once a certain English fliers fishnet tights.

Here's a picture of my effort, I reckon something like four hours in the garage with a soldering iron and heaven knows how long marking up the template but it was worth every second. I’m well chuffed with it, it flies great.

It’s been done a few weeks now but it’s taken a while to get the photos, Thanks Keith, (ssm1nw).

I think you got the fifteenth hole on the left, 3rd row, right hand sail in the wrong place Bob. Never mind, better luck next time ;)

Sweet, Bob! You really did a nice job with it! :ani_punk:

What have been the highest winds you've flown with it thus far?

Thanks. As I said I'm really pleased with it.

What have been the highest winds you've flown with it thus far?

To be honest, I haven't a clue. I'm not really a wind meter kind of guy. I tend to prefer to let the feel of the kite influence setup choices. One thing I will say is, if I need to be flying this one, a std EXP leading edge does not really cut it, it doesn't half bend, it now has a 3 wrap sle. B)

Don't be too surprised when it flies in lighter wind as a side effect. ;)
