  • Haha, that's interesting!


    During one of our last sessions we managed to get some tazmachines out of our TTs, but by far not as fast as you do. That TT looks more like a DeepSpace. Also half-axels are much less acessible on the original design.


    I love the old TT feeling, so I would not try to change mine, but am very curious what modifications you did. :H:

    The questions is not: "What is a MahnahMana?" - The question is: "Who cares?"

  • recht offensichtlich ist ja das höher gesetzte Kreuz, allerdings ohne die extreme "Knickspreize" ala TT113.
    Bei der Waage würde ich wohl auch davon ausgehen, dass sie nicht mehr "gleitet"

  • Sorry gentlemen for my delay in responding.


    modifications for this #2 Tricktail were:


    Static 3 point bridle (no sliding)
    APA's for lower spreader
    Two standoffs
    yoyo stop
    No trickline
    Sliding (adjustable) 3 gram keel weight
    wingtips have 1 gram ceramic inside
    Modified spine (lighter weight upper spine and spiral wound fiberglass lower spine)
    lower spreader position was moved upward (obviously)
    reinforced trailing edge


    I have eight Tricktail kites of varying conditions & weights. I wanted this one to be a bit more modern feeling and faster paced yet would still be able to fly in low winds (2-6 mph) I was tired of waiting for the "NEW" Tricktail so i made my own. BTW I keep most of my Tricktails unmodified. Only varying the standoff lengths to what feels correct at the moment. That was about as far as I had gone for modifications until now. This model is #2 and I am happy with its performance. When is the last time you did a backspin with your Tricktail? The Taz machine had been fairly simple on the un-modified Tricktail and with the modification, Taz machine is very easy to perform and rotates at a faster pace which is exactly what I was looking for. I am now in the process of making a 2.1m Tricktail utilizing these modifications. I would love to see videos of you guys flying your Tricktails. Do any of you have any? I am very interested in seeing how people are flying their Tricktails.

  • Thanks,


    what are the lengths of the bridle and what means 2 Standoffs? No outer ones?
    Do you have a picture of it?

  • Zitat von StegMich

    ... das hat mit "meinem" Tricktail nichts mehr zu tun - gefällt nicht!


    Wo kann ich unterschreiben? :H:

    "Ein Leben ohne Kite ist zwar möglich, aber völlig sinnlos."
