bartman Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) If I would have been home 20 minutes sooner I'd know for sure. I have a notice card to pick up a parcel and I'm not expecting any parcels (except for a bag of money I ordered which never seems to arrive) except for this kite. If this be the kite then it is perfect timing for another fun fly attempt here on Sunday!! Bart Edited September 13, 2009 by bartman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairusan Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Does yours have the SUL leading edge fabric on it? Tom said that he ordered a batch that way. If so, that's super awesome! What pattern did you end up getting? At the Berkeley Rev Clinic, I saw an Aquarium Two and a Lava, both of which looked amazing. (Of course, I still think Celtic Rainbow is the bestest, but the possibility exists that I may be somewhat biased.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great but I didn't have a camera with me for pictures. Before I left the post office, the woman at the counter was curious, so I showed it to her. She wants to come out flying sometime. Could be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartman Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Well, it wasn't the bag of money so that means it was the Celtic Rainbow!! Looks fabulous sitting in the house! Hopefully tomorrow there is some nice wind and I can get it in the air. Photos will need to wait until the weekend though. I can't fly and take pictures at the same time! As for leading edge material.. I dunno. Looks like every other kite I have. I ordered this one with a 2 wrap frame. Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom McAlister Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 ...I received my aquarium-one on Tuesday and flew it yesterday! Luv it! Hey Gang, Glad the kites arrived safely, and that you like them. After the first batch of kites were shown at the our BKF, some fliers commented to me that they wished we had done some customs with more purples and blues in them. After thinking about it I couldn't resist adding some new colors into the mix. The results are two new Celtic customs with purple-blue fades. In the first version the fade runs across the panels, much like the Celtic Rainbows. The second version has the purple-blue fade running from the top to bottom of the panels. This version intrigued me so much that I tried a third version with a red-orange-yellow (Fire) fade running from the top to bottom of the panels. Both of the Purple-Blue fades arrived this week. We are still waiting on the Red-Orange-Yellow kites. Where would be the best place for me to post images of these new colors? In one of the original "BKF Custom" threads, here, or in a new thread? Thanks, Tom McAlister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartman Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Not the best day for a full sail so just flew it long enough for a couple photos. It is striking against the blue sky! Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartman Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 I was hoping for some back lighting, but the sun was full on facing so not this time out. Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloo Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Ohhhh I SO didn't just read this! LA LA LA LA LAAAA (denial)... I do like the look of those Celtic fades. The idea of the fade running top to bottom on the sail should look great. As soon as you get yours Aero please be sure to post a picture.
