Sketch part II

TO AVOID COPYING I HAVE PUT THE DRAWINGS UNDER A SMALL ANGLE AND LEFT OUT THE CORRECT DIMENSIONS.




Paper Batman Kite  based on the idea of Ton Vinken
Dan Leigh Delta kite design; The best Delta's you can get on the market
Fled kite tail.  This kite is combing the best design elements of a Sled and a Flare. Stable, strong, light-wind, flies at a high line angle and is my preferred KAP kite.
The Gray Man Rok from Nicolas Chorier one of the best kites for KAP

Birds on a single line

10 bird kites drying on a string after flying out the whole day in the park ;-)
 
   
Me flying in Zeebrugge
A swallow train consist of 10 smaller swallows (1m => black-purple-white) and 1 larger lifting swallow (2m => black – white –purple) Based on a design of Robert Van Weers (New Zealand). Robert was inspired by a Japanese swallow mobile and a plan published in a German magazine. The plan of Robert has less spars, a different keel and no connector for the spreader.




A home made swivel. It works perfect. the length of the branch is one and a half the size of a bird wing. The distance between two swivels is triple the length of the branch.

Wilrijk

Had a late afternoon Kap Session with my small Canon camera  with CHDK and a Crap-KAP-RIG.   Let's call it a CKR (haha).  Afterwards I made this collage  just to make a little more interesting

GoPro

I installed my GoPro on a RIG that I got as a present from Azman Drahman. Tomorrow we go to Noordwijk for a festival with traditional kites to test it!
