I finally found some time to add some stabilising vertical ribbons to remedy the sail flutter. Yesterday I was ready for test flight #2!
Category: Kite building
Now when the first Zaephay (finally) is completed, I'd like to share a few specs with you all.
Inspired by my recent building project, I have started a new one. Now my goal is to build a true indoor/no-wind quad kite and the process is of course documented here at AERIALIS Kites!
As you might gather from the look on my face, the initial flight revealed a few issues. One that I was suspecting from the start and a couple of other ones.
The weather forecast predicted a hurricane, well, maybe not quite, but pretty heavy winds. So what better to do than make a super vented quad kite?!
Yes! Today I finally finished the Zaephay project. The kite is now ready to fly and I'm just waiting for the right (very) light wind conditions ... and some daylight.
Finally, finally I can see the light in the end of the tunnel! I really hope I can get this kite in the air sometime soon!
As you might have read here at the AERIALIS Kites website, the AERIALIS Kite Flyers fly A-Quads!
Finally the weekend was here and we all were heading for Gothenburg and Anders' place to make some kites!
In about six hours we hit the road heading for Gothenburg and the Team Workshop!
Last year Anders started experimenting on a new quad design for the AERIALIS Team Flyers.
Anders has started the workshop preparations!
