impmad Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 On Sunday morning I finally managed my 1st flight of my Flexifoil Windbag ! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v41/impmad2000/Kites/IMG_3685-1.jpg I need to change something (propellor I believe) to get more power, and tweak the trim on the canard, but it was teriffic to see this old '80 design take flight.

impmad Posted March 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 "Stick to Kites " ? It IS a kite Its a kite for low / no wind days I hope to use it as a video platform when I've got a bit better at flying it. @vinylking, thanks for the link.
