Borelli's Glider

 

The Kite´s name is Borelli´s Glider. The design was made by Nelson Borelli. He is Argentino but live in USA. It's a very good one line indoor kite for beginners and advanced pilots. Very detailed plans are available on the BatoCo website. Worthwhile to give it a try.

I only tested it in the living room and it is floating and gliding very well. Turning wasn't that smooth; Due to the size of the room and kids and dogs running around. Secondly I was missing the bended spreader of the Urban Ninja that keeps the bridle away of the sail.

(still working on....)
Here a list of paint that you can use for painting icarex or any other sail fabric:

Pebeo called setacolor used by Jacques Letourneau.   Water based opaque, covering, vivid and intense colours. The range includes 15 shimmering colours: shimmering and iridescent effects, particularly opaque and covering.  Can be mixed together. Excellent lightfastness.  Air dry for 1 hour.
