Nice one! I'll put it on the builds page.

Auch in der Schweiz gibt es nun einen Magnet micro-pack… bereit um auch mal in die Ferien mitzukommen… 😊

Colors remind me of a typical Dutch marschmallow style candy called "Spekkies".

hope it is as tasty as the magnet in flight

Magnet 112% Super Ultralight Sportkite Morning Session | IckyTV

youtu.be/nsLjO89axTw

The 112% is the larger brother of David Rüger's open source kite design "Magnet". The kite in this video is the super ultralight version. Slow and quite precise in flight and articulate in the execution of tricks. Single pop yoyo's are possible but 2 pops have a better succes rate. Flown in a very light sea breeze at Formerum Beach, Terschelling.

Go build one! More info and plan files:

Hello, I am starting a Magnet Std build, and wanted some advice:

1) do most people build the nose per the plan? Or using a kitehouse style nose?

2) do people tend to reinforce the center seam with mylar?

3) Is the center seam also 6mm? The seam is not shown on the plan so just confirming.

4) is the spine measurement the dimensions of the rod itself, or does it include the fitting?

5) any other suggestions or tips? For instance, what is the consensus on the alternate bridle? Any recommended modifications to the plan make it easier to build, or improve characteristics?

Ts

1/2) My magnets are build by David, no spine reinforcement and normal nose like plan

3) 6mm IIRC

4) Depends on your tail construction, Level One style with a splitnock or velcro strap (5)

5) I like the alternate bridle. Original is a bit more radical and less forgiving for cometes etc.

Thanks.

With the alternate bridle, the description says to also move the center to by 2cm -- does that mean to move the entire reinforcement as well? Or is there room to slide the T forward into the existing cutout? Do the leading edge fittings also have to move up when moving the T?

(Here is the result of two evenings work)

Ok, one last question.

For the lower spreader APA location: the plan says to place a clip at the end of the lower leading edge, with bridle above it, followed by the APA. But that would mean that any time the leading edge is broken down, the bridle would come loose, and the APA could potentially come off? Or was this a typo, is the clip supposed to go at the end of the upper leading edge?

Does anyone have a detailed photo of their lower spreader leading edge fitting?

the clip goes on the end of the LLE.

It is complete!

Nice! I would like an outside pic for the builds page.

Here is the beach pic. I made this for my wife, but it flies too well, I might keep it for myself!
