Flexifoil

Just found this Which supports my claim that there was a HYPER 16 Flexifoil Hyper 16 spars http://www.kites.tug.com/kites/Revfaq/Flexifoil.txt This Text is copied from another kite-flying forum 1) Flexifoil system of Theodor Schmidt. I started many years ago using six 2m (6' Stacker) Flexifoils, which worked well but needed quite a bit of wind and were difficult to launch single-handed. I then built a spring-loaded double reel, which helped a bit, making it easy to wind the lines back after use, simply by walking towards the kites on the ground. Experiments with small parafoils, sled kites, and Stewkie inflated kites showed the importance of having a system where pull can be decreased immediately, especially as the wind tends to be strongest just where you want to stop; on mountain tops. The forward drive of the Flexifoils is, of course, quickly decreased by putting them in the overhead position or landing them. Many other kites tend to continue pulling on the land, making retrieval difficult or dangerous. One or two 3m Flexifoils (Super 10s) worked much better, but still needed quite a bit of wind. I tried a 5m Flexi (Hyper 16) which could be used in very little wind, but was difficult and even dangerous to handle in strong winds and difficult to control without a very long control bar. I asked Ray Merry to make me an intermediate size, 4m, which we called the Special 13. (This kite has recently become a standard Flexifoil size-replacing the Hyper 16 kite-ed) This was the answer: the kite behaved beautifully in both light and strong winds and was well steerable with my control bar the length of two ski poles. The system now consists of two 35mm diameter alloy tubes used as ski poles and to store the kite spars when skiing downhill and a double reel which fits in the middle and contains some bracing wires which go to a simple waist belt with a quick release. The twin kite lines go through fishing type guides and through two pulleys at the ends of the control bar. The kite is launched right off the control bar, continually steering while the lines run out and while braking the reel with gloves sporting Kevlar patches. Although the kite could be wound down after skiing, it is much easier to land it and wind it in on the ground.

JUST READ THIS http://forum.kitecrowd.com/recreational/everthing-you-ever-wanted-know-about-stacker-series-kite-200738.html Geoff You Missed some Kites namley the Splitzes, Quattros which were different panel layouts and the Prospeeds which were Icarex and in 6ft,8ft and 10 ft sizes a ultra light weight kite with a 3 piece spar which was a 50% weight saving over the standard spar. You also missed the HYPER 16 and the HYPER 20 which were Beastly Kites and had 5 piece Hollow Carbon spars

Update to thread Sold My 6 Coloured Pro Speeds Congratulations to the new owner Peter Riley I hope you enjoy Flying them as much as I do mine, Also I have just returned from Displaying at 2 kite Festivals one at Hunstanton on the 19th of August and a MKF event at Rushcliffe Country Park, whist I was at Rushcliff one of the MKF members said that he had a website address where a copy of the Windbag plan is available to download. LINK> Blast from the past, A Windbag flies again. - RC Groups Its Requires very basic modelling skills to build 1 so I thought I would have a bit of a go at building one So watch this Space for Updates. Heres the only video I could find.

Update to thread Well I Sold My 6 Coloured Pro Speeds Congratulations to the new owner Peter Riley I hope you enjoy Flying them as much as I do mine, You Know you got a good deal on them. Also I have just returned from Displaying at 2 kite Festivals one at Hunstanton on the 19th of August and a MKF event at Rushcliffe Country Park on the 2nd of September. Whist I was at Rushcliff I got talking to one of the MKF members about my stack and some of the history behind them which led on to a conversation about a old 1982 Flexifoil product called a Windbag he had a website address where a copy of the Windbag plan is available to download. I was very Interested as a old Radio Control Model Plane Flyer. Basically the Windbag was a Stacker 6 on a aluminium gondola with Radio Control equipment comprising of 3 servos a reviver and a 40 sized 2 stroke glow motor, the Idea behind the Windbag was a Kite Flying without lines it used the pendulum effect of the gondola to steer the Kite about the sky with a canard for-plane for adjusting pitch. Well it was the 80's.

Heres the only video I could find.

Although the Flow is a exelent kite I can not place it as a kite to fly static, the Flow and the rage have both been designed as Traction kites and to be used for Boarders and Buggyiers. If Static flying is what you wish to do the I'm afraird I would be looking at either Revolution Quad liners, Old School 2 line Trick kites or the Newer Breeds like the Benson Deep Space and Talon to just name a few, dont even disreguard the Stacker Series from Flexifoil see my Thread Link > http://forum.kitecrowd.com/recreational/everthing-you-ever-wanted-know-about-stacker-series-kite-200738.html I personally think you will get Board very quickly flying a kite Designed for Traction staticly.

Robo good photo of the stackers looks photoshopped have you tweeked the colour adjust abit ?

Get up early Andy n get those jobs dun for the wife n get sum Brownie points, as to the venue undecided as yet as to where. leave ur FB on and I'll send you a messsage where we r if we fly as Peters back isnt too good so he might need a day off.

I got a Phone call this morning from Peter Riley "wanna go flying?" he said I replied "Sure Peter" Peters here for a week on a short Holiday and staying at his sisters she lives in my same town, literally just down the road. So we have been out Today and flew the stacks and his Ozone Sammys on the wreake valley school field just a stones throw from my home and his sisters. Conditions were pretty blustery but the stacks handled them well as did the Sammys generally a good day had by all. We will be meeting up again either tomorrow or Saturday before peter has to return back to Norway. The wind are going to be slightly lighter toward the weekend than those of todays a gusty 12mph.

Congratulations too everyone who took part a great achevement in reaching both the 5,000 pound target and getting the whole way accross the wash did anyone get a video of the crossing?

Hi Dan I lve In Syston the venue that would be best for boarding would be Wreake Valley school playing field. Bust as theres only me that seems to be a active flyer and I mainly use my inlaws back field if I want a fly. If you want good company with like minded boarders I would suggest The Air Sports Club otherwise known as Air boss world they have a Facebook page where they congreygate and a thread on KC

With the Great Ouse Kite Flyers Stafford Wallace, Team Spectrum, Stropsley Kite Crew, Flexifoil Power Kites with Stackman John The wind was diabolical but at least something managed to fly a good day on the whole given the very light winds at least it didnt rain.
