Topics I've Started

  1. Leading Edge mesh repair

    Posted 15 Nov 2011

    Thought I'd post my quick repair for small rips (slits) in the leading edge screening (mesh)...

    I recently experimented with this easy repair method, and have flown it several times since and found it to work just great!

    I have a well-used full-vent Rev which has been flown for several years and suffered several small (1"-1-1/2") horizontal slits in the leading edge mesh. I was originally going to replace the full length of the mesh (or sew a mesh patch) but thought I'd try this and see IF it worked...and it did!

    Using a piece of scotch-tape under the mesh to hold the tear tight and in place, I applied a thin coat of super glue, waited a few seconds, then used a cotton Q-tip swab to press the damaged area in place and to also remove any excess glue. I allowed the glue to set well and dry (a few minutes) then slowly removed the tape.

    The repaired slit is nearly invisible and has held well.

    Just thought I'd pass this along!

  2. KITE PARTY X ~ March 10th-11th 2012

    Posted 10 Nov 2011

    Thought I'd start a little chatter regarding the upcoming March 2012 Kite Party X at Huntington Beach (seeing I haven't seen anything posted recently)... Posted Image

    Got it on my calendar...how about you/s!? Posted Image
