Special Edition Stackers ?

[Darkmiss]

If anyone has read the new Power Kite Magazine

on the inside front cover, there is an advert fow Flexifoil

and at the top there is a picture of a stack of kites

but each one has the colour of a countrys flag.

 

Does anyone know where these may be baught from ?

The ads a photo storyboard of Flexi through the years. Looking at where that pic is, it looks like they were made in the early 80's. So probably not available now, unless you can find them 2nd hand or do a special order.

 

That microlight/paramotor/kite type thing next to it looks great though.

I know that Andy, in the KiteStore in covent Garden,

has a specialy made Black staker, with a skull with red eyes

 

are there no other specail editions or designs to buy anywhere ?

I know Flexi will make you anything you want, but it's a premium price. 15% extra on top of retail price I think.

There was a guy at the Bristol Kite festival last year with about 20 stackers (or stacker look alikes) all stacked which were all flag of countries (might have even been all european, not sure). Unfortunately on the Sunday there was no wind so they never got in the air.

Darkmiss,

There is a good picture of "The Euro Stack of 6' Flexifoils" on page 4 of The flexi book of power kiting but not a lot of info ie when/where.

It does look cool though. I'd love a union jack one (naturaly first in the stack).

The microlight type thingy was called "The windbag" and was a radio controlled "toy". Apparently it didn't sell to well when it was produced in the 80's, but there must be a few still out there, I spotted one going on E-bay a while back.
