I live just across the street from an old school, and when walking the dogs here the other day I got a great idea while walking by one of the schoolyards.
Tag: zaephay
The weather forecast was spot on. Sunny and just a draft of wind coming in from the sea. Just the right conditions for flying the Zaephay!
Finally it was time for the Zaephay's initial flight. Not the best of conditions, but I couldn't wait any longer!
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!
Yes, that's what I'm going to call it. The new kite I'm making right now.
After having made the templates and found the proper spars for framing, it was time for the icarex.
So how about framing for this DYI project of mine? Well, the first question that need to be answered is what wind range do I forsee for this kite?
It's been six years since last time I used the sewing machine. Now it's time go give it a go again!
