wakeupandfly Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 they dont look very different from normal blades, just the colours? or is this just me? they do look VPS'd though, there from the 16/07 is this before or after the VPS came out? if its before they could be flexi VPS prototypes?? tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AdamC Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 Custom Blades is not un-heard of. A bloke near me as his name made into the centre, problem is his name is causing some trademark inflictions last time i heard. You pay over the odds for these kites but think of the respect you would get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-Aer Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 there are quite a few custom blades out there. saw one at middle wallop, 4.9 with white tips and black centre. never seen one like that though... I think you will find two of these, they belong to the Robertshaw's (or so I am told), I saw they doing a ballet type thing with them at Newbury Kite Festival.

Guest Patter Posted January 16, 2003 Report Share Posted January 16, 2003 Wouldn't mind some custom text or images on the kite. Big sword across the kite or something. Camouflage kite even. Camouflage kite lines as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasga Posted January 16, 2003 Report Share Posted January 16, 2003 if you want one email flexifoil, and say what you want, they will give you a price figure like i say , im sure its 10% on top of RRP. .as its a special bespoke version! lol i know that PKS have a few with Flexifoil and PowerKiteShop written on their side camo. .that would be hard, does chikara come in camo, specially made chikara for a specially made kite!

Grebby Posted January 16, 2003 Report Share Posted January 16, 2003 I already asked. Response was:- Thank you for your enquiry. However, we are only able to take orders for custom coloured Blades between the months of March and August as outside these times our Research & Development department takes over our sewing capacity to concentrate on our next range of kites. If you would like to contact us later in the year I will be able to give you more information then.

Maybe Camo would be a bit beyond there ability:) . You could always put hmmm lets say someone likes UB40, B.I.G., Tupac, Eminem they could put that on the kite:) . If only you could get images printed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrown7911 Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Digital solvent imaging is now avaialable but expensive and if you dont have a white kite to start with you wont get the best colour. the material can then be fully covered with an image say a picture of a buggy then the rest of the material could be printed rainbow then made into a kite. As for camoflage that would be easier to just make a applique sheet of chikara then make it into a blade. Also a certain type of vinyl will stick to some ripstops as we Sponsor Pete Swann and our company name is stuck on his kite using large graphics unfortunately as all kites are not made of the same material you would have to experiment on this.

rasga Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 hold on. . . remember that the old sizes were 2-9, new sizes 3-10.5 so we know that there will be a 4.9 (as the cgi image is of that size), but how many and what sizes will the rest be?) and remember from MK1 to MK2 they changed the sizes exept for the 4.9, so they are likely to change some sizes this time as well. .just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
