OSTK Episode 20: Sixth Sense .85 | IckyTV

    Episode 20! In this episode we fly the Sixth Sense .85: a scaled down version of the Sixth Sense by Stuntkite Palermo (Davide Equizzi). I borrowed Chris Wojtas' kite (thanks!) which is built in nylon spinnaker fabric and a 6mm pultruded carbon and Skyshark frame. Flown at Eendrachtspolder in light to moderate wind. Enjoy!


    Plans are available here (just scale everything down to 85%): http://www.kareloh.com/kite-plans/2175-2/

    Uhhh?
    Nylon fabric and a SS?
    If I translate my experiences from other trickkites i have with a nylon sail (f. x. Vendetta), I would say that this changes the characteristic of a kite very much ...
    You loose the "crispyness" the original SS has ... on the other hand, perhaps the downskaling can help ...


    But even though I haven't flown this kite, these two changes are so big, I can't imagine that it has still much to do with a "original" SS and in the video it doesn't look much like it too?


    Not saying that is any bad ... just questioning if that still can be call a SixthSense ...



    Best regards,

    I know what you mean with full nylon kites. They feel 'soft' mos of the times. But it's actually quite good. Feels like a Sixth Sense just faster and smaller inputs. This kite is based on a .85 build by Davide Equizzi himself which Krijn bought.


    So is it a Sixth Sense? It is in my book.
