    mal ne frage
    seh ich das richtig das die ringe nur aufgeklebt sind und nicht vernäht??


    Stimmt.


    I cut 14 pieces of dacrontape and placed them on the kite.
    I used a hot cutter and a template to make the holes. (I left the frame in.)

    TNT Vented


    I bought myself a second TNT Strong (from this forum).
    My old one now has got some holes in it:








    I've flown both today. The grey one flies like the old Strong, but it is a bit quicker in the tricks (more like my other TNT's, so that's good).


    The Vented flies pretty good. Straight lines and corners no problem. Needs some adjustment at twopointlandings.
    Tricks are all there, like Jacobsladder, Tazmachines, Multislots, Yoyo-related stuff, CrazyCopters. BUT: the kite tricks a lot slower now, espacially in Yoyo-tricks and RollingCascades. Maybe it needs a bit more weight, I'll try next time.

  • Magnet

    sorry: in english


    i've got david's last prototype (thanks!)


    after a little session:
    - good precision
    - not much pressure on the lines
    - good tracking
    - corners not the best
    - easy jocobsladders
    - quick backspins
    - multilazies bit critical
    - combinations of jacobsladders, backspins, yoyo's and lazies very accessible
    - yoyo's simple, but double yoyo's require precise timing
    - tazmachines with fast second input, i managed to do a taz-cascade
    - crazycopter very nice, in lower windrange easy to do them only 2-3 meters above the ground
    - weird feeling in rolling cascade, need to pull it out a bit later then i am used to
    - in upper windrange kite does not fly fast
    - in lower winds easy to fly, but be gentle with inputs


    funny thing!
    i guess you can compare it with the nse15



    i'd forgotten my camera, a filmimpression will follow

  • Magnetizing Sunset

    Zitat von Kalloe

    Freut mich, dass der Drachen und das Video gefallen!


    Falls jemand den Kite ausprobieren möchte, könnte ich den letzten Proto ausleihen. Der fliegt identisch, ist in Detaillösungen aber minimal abweichend von dem Magnet aus dem Video.


    Yes nice kite! I've followed all the steps.


    Try it out? Yes please. But I understand when Germany comes first.

  • TNT von Alphakites

    About one year ago I bought a second hand TNT Strong (red) on this forum. I liked it a lot.
    I ordered a Zero and a STD Comp AS, but while I was waiting, I found a STD Comp (red) and a UL (red) on this forum again. Luckily Alphakites cancelled the STD for me.
    The same week someone - on this forum again - convinced me to buy his UL Comp (purple), because he said I wouldn't regret it (I don't, it is different from the UL).
    The Zero (orange) came two weeks ago, I upgraded the STD Comp with Aerostuff spreaders.


    So here is my complete set:




    From front to back in first photo:
    - TNT UL #50
    - TNT Zero #210
    - TNT STD Comp #22
    - TNT UL Comp #155
    - TNT Strong #056

  • [Bauplan] P2

    both very good looking P2's!



    i like the fact that you both used moonietape (or something like that) between the upperspreader and sail


    looks a lot better than a big black dot

  • HQ Shadow

    Zitat von PAW


    Kann auch sein das der Besitzer etwas gebastelt hat !


    Das bin ich!


    I had nothing changed on the Shadow. The supplied weight was installed.
    (Not mine anymore, it is in Belgium now.)
