BikerBabe 0 #2 October 14, 2002 Check out Big Air Kites...they're made by the same folks that make the Samurai and Lotus. A guy at my DZ has a few of them and we fly them on windy days... They look like little canopies, and I've seen them lift 180 lb guys off their feet! www.bigairsportz.com/bakitesNever meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

fudd 0 #3 October 14, 2002 Cool! It looks almost like a 4-cell canopy. The strange thing is that saturday I got the idea of maybe trying to make a kite out of my old canopy. I thought of removing 6 (maybe just 4) end cells, leaving me with a 3 cell kite. Just move the stabilazors, and try do change the line trim for kiting. It doesn't seem impossible, but I figure it will be pretty hard. Anyone done/tried this before? Is it worth a shot? Could be a nice recycling thing for old canopies.... There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ernokaikkonen 0 #4 October 15, 2002 Dude, don't cut anything off... Just lengthen the lines and you have one big mother of a canopy! See pics of my "kite" in this thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
