I just got a secondhand red deep space too! One day I'll get to posting pics, but I'm yet to get it out of the house, much less in the field ! :roll:
Quality looking though!

Two new kites in the bag.

Image
Essence STD

This replaces by knackered old white/slate Windfactory Essence. Built using the plans available on my website.
5pt all around except for the spine/US (6mm pultruded). All sky-blue panels are done in 2 layers of icarex for a more saturated color.
First flght was promising but i need to fly it in a bit more wind.

Image
Kitehouse Sharp UL

This particular kite is framed with p100 LE’s, 3pt BD LS, Gforce SUL spine and 5 mm pultruded US. The 2 grey panels near the nose/LE are nylon for more billow effect. Very nice color combi in Light Grey, White and (i think) Mango. The Sharp has a deeper backflip compared to the Sin. Cyniques are there and it does great 2 pop roll-ups. Backspins are nice and flat and Taz’z are very nice also.

That Essence looks fantastic !

The Sharp never really took off did it ? The Cosmic TC is a tough act to follow I guess.

Looking forward to your Sharp video :-D

In my defense, I sold off many others to fund this set.

No VTD. If the winds are that high - I'll find something else to do :-D
