Cath Shook Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Wayne, no problem since Eliot did have a picture of a 3 series. Just a matter of getting him to dig it all out. The kite was developed to smooth out and lessen the pull - if one is out for a couple of hours, once in awhile, who cares. But if one is out all day, and often, then less pull allowed me to fly for longer periods and more often. Not sure how 'just a kite' created the uproar! And as Ben said, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katrina Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Katrina really wasn't too impressed at KP, must been the wind was a bit light! Say what now? Wayne, my friend, you are in trouble again! I was in fact impressed, as always, with the amazing flight characteristics of the weaves. The are indeed smooth kites. They track beautifully, you just point them in a direction and they go that way in a dead straight line. And 180s are very crisp and effortless. I did switch back to my VTD that day at KP, but only because I wanted to stick with what I'm used to for team flying. Rich, thanks for leaving the loaner with us, you rock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerochic Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hey Cath, Will Elliott do black center panels? I was also wondering if you have any kind of template that we could customize as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburka Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Will Elliott do black center panels? I was also wondering if you have any kind of template that we could customize as well? I've been trying to get Eliot to make me a black center sail for almost a year now and he keeps blowing me off with excuses! C'mon, man, I'm trying to give you money!

Cath Shook Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hi, everyone - it's Eliot responding under Cath's ID again... No black center panels (too tough to even think about doing our "signature" compass rose). No template or "colorizer" (hey, I'm lucky to get hold of many of the Icarex colors these days). No Rev 1 or Rev II Mesh (we've all thought about it, but, why mess with a good mesh?). Remember, each of the Mesh kites are unique - NO DUPLICATE color schemes or patterns.

Aerochic Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Thanks Eliot! I love the custom look on ALL of the sails I've seen you make, and they fly like a dream. I will have one someday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburka Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 That's fine - you know where I live - send me all the money you want!!! But if I send you money, how will I be able to keep complaining about not getting the kite I want?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REVflyer Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Eliot's mesh kites were out in force at Wildwood, probably half a dozen flying at all times we were assembled together. I enjoy every aspect of the flight dynamics on his kites. Perfect for gusty, turbulent winds, ... and personally speaking "worth every penny!" Change the frames out and get another whole new kite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
