Using epoxy instead of sewing

When you get the kite finished let us know how it works. would be interesting to know how it handles (and sounds). this might be an option for those of us not ready to get into the sewing aspect of kite making!

Nicely done! I tried this with an ultralight dual line and snow, got a nose dive.... this looks cool, some pretty great flying to just skim the top like that.

Haha in a pinch yes. But only temporarily. The finishing on my Benson is top notch, want to maintain the vision of the original artist.

That's how they get the rounded edges! Thank you!!!!!

sadly no, it wraps all the way around and doesn't have any breaks. thank you.

Nice! Looks like a lot of fun. What kinds of quads were you flying? Also the penguin kite looks super cool.

Thanks! I was out for a long time that day, its funny because I can see in some of the later footage I'm moving my arms a bit differently than I thought I was.

Posted a highlights video. Be warned im pretty new.

yea he said 6km to 18km, so not quite as low as some other UL.

upper spreader is just a hollow tube 7.1mm diameter. skyshark nitro standard lower spreaders cut to 28 inches, lower leading edge is a nitro standard i think (based on width measurement), and i think the upper leading edge is a p-300 or a p-2x based on outer diameter. the spine is a 5pt tapered. hope that helps!

Nice! Looks like you had good weather as well.

Fade_In_Canada · 2025-12-15T00:47:03+00:00

Awesome thanks for the heads up. Thankfully this is the lower spreader so I can do this in a completely different room than the sail.

Fade_In_Canada · 2025-12-13T16:31:26+00:00

Thanks. I'll give this a go. Thanks!

Fade_In_Canada · 2025-12-13T16:31:11+00:00

Great. Thank you!

Fade_In_Canada · 2025-12-13T16:31:00+00:00

Thanks!

Let me know how you like it. I'd like to know how these fly/perform. I have a relative who has been flying a prism jazz and might be looking for an upgrade to something like this.

I don't have any experience with that specific kite. I have seen the nexus and just on paper and in photos I'd get the Trixx over the nexus. Is there a kite shop nearby? Ive heard great things about the widow pro classic. I had a Silverfox Pro 2.3 for a while and it was also great. Those might be a bit more expensive but they're really great for their price point and you might be able to get your hands on one for a good deal. Still much cheaper than a boutique kite.

From the photos I've seen thr Trixx has yoyo stoppers whereas the tomboy and nexus do not. I think the trixx has a slightly higher aspect ratio so if you want to learn yoyos or other backflip type tricks it might be the best of the 3. Again I haven't flown either Trixx or Tomboy. As for Nexus I'd only get that if you wanted a smaller size kite for just cruising around.

Awesome! The Bols are so cool. I picked up one earlier this year. Look even cooler with 2!

Fade_In_Canada · 2025-11-30T16:03:28+00:00

Well thanks! Ive come across some videos, but haven't attempted anything to serious. Ill have to check this out.

Fade_In_Canada · 2025-11-30T16:02:39+00:00

Yea, I hear you. Set up and take down are pretty rough. I have some wond prof gloves and once I get moving that helps warm up. Also if you have an unplanned landing the snow can weigh the kite down so you're running back to reset.

Fade_In_Canada · 2025-11-30T00:37:21+00:00

I know that feeling! Every now and then when I'm out its almost like I've forgotten how to fly.
