Choccy Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Friend Pete had a nearly new unvented B sail that did not set so well and decided to do something with it I can't believe you/your friend did that! (sorry grape juice = loose tongue) Hope it's good in the winter winds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrier Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I can't believe you/your friend did that! (sorry grape juice = loose tongue) Hope it's good in the winter winds! Perhaps it was grape juice to blame for the kite, just drunken vandals over here David it flys really well, surprised me how well, hovers rock solid in any orientation, it took ages for me to paint that picture and it never moved...a bit Stays, reinforcing strips sewn along the line of the uprights to kill sail stretch, just like Bri's vented Sedgwick has over the mesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeepster Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 WADA YA THINK BRIAN...16GERUPS Not sure ... with all the snow you've been getting, it could be cabin fever. Will it get off the ground in anything less that a gale force four wind? Well, I suppose you do need something to hold the rods together. Shouldn't fly it with the kids around ... looks a little naughty. Probably should name it Cabaret Dancer. Or was "WADA YA THINK" a retorical question? And here all I want next is a simple mid-vent kite ... Cheers, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloo Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 It looks sort of agressive, in a kite type of way. Hope it flys as well as it looks. I am sure it will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You Bruce,,,, BRIAN...15GERUPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baloo Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Looks good Bri. Of course it might not behave as well for you. After all Bruce is a REAL good pilot. :plane Still with any luck you might be able to make it take off and land OK. Promise not to laugh at Ant too much if you get a chance to let him fly it though.

big bri Posted February 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 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. BRIAN...
