Fractured Axel

I thought I'd start this thread to put Greebo's ebay post to sleep and we can show our likings, ideas and thoughts about other manufacturers or home built WS4LK's. Anything goes apart from direct counterfeits or copies.

Copy: An imitation or reproduction of an original; a duplicate, a counterfeit.
Counterfeit: is an imitation, usually one that is made with the intent of fraudulently passing it off as genuine.

None of that here, no, so if you're from a former colony and/or think we are endorsing counterfeits/copies please read the above statement again...slowly.


Oh and being fairly new person here I love these forums so if you can support FA even if its buying a Beanie for the winter please do so cus im gunna! Any chance you guys can make one with a W shaped kite on the front?

(that was a bit of a creep but not many places you can post honest opinions of stuff and not have them moderated back to a full stop)

Thanks 'kindly' to the facebook posts of a guy named "John Barresi" over the last few days I found a company called 'King of kites' in Singapore who have some funky W shaped quad designs...however some of them look like a kebab sicked up on a pavement.

This I like....



They've been pointed out to be Alba's, the reinforced extra LE stitching and bridle colour certainly looks Albatross-ish but not seen anything this nice out of their online store. Looking at the logo in the top right of the kite it looks to be specially done for KoK's store.

Thats awesome Daz! they dont half fly nice stacked!


(I think I understand now why I confused you Daz, im a bit slow today lol. JB actually slagged off this company in his FB page after walking into the King of kites the shop while in Singapore. He went on quite a rant on FB which resulted in the owner of KoK contacting Alba and they put out a statement. The more Revolution and its cronies attack the worse they look in my eyes. I was tempted to post it all but I just kinda want this post to be about anything other than Rev kites rather than about Rev's issues and attitudes towards Rev 'like' kites. I actually found it quite amusing that instead of him putting me off his rant actually made me go look at the KoK and want one of their designs )

I had a look at there site and I too like some of their designs.I have emailed them asking what the prices are.If they get back to me I will let you know.The kites in the video fly great as a stack or alone,thanks for the nice comment

That is the dogs gentiles. Of course one wonders about quality, and I'm not sure how it would handle with that asymmetric venting. But then again it's a show kite so maybe handling isn't everything.

But is it venting, or some transparent material like mylar?

I dont think it is vented sailor99, I think its a semi transparent or white material. I'm going with white because you cant really see the left hand spar very well which is behind the kite. If it's an Albatross quality should be ok, if its one of the many chinese kite chop shop jobs it could be made out of anything lol.

I think you are right. Should have gone to specsavers!

This one looks sweet

Is that an Albatros knock off?

You'll even be able to get a genuine one directly from King Of Kites soon...

I did read that KoK would "burn all his Alba's" if it is proved beyond doubt that Albatross are duping. I guess it is more simple to just make him an authorised dealer than trying to photoshop Alba's name onto a moody kite

I guess we're gunna have to get alba to make us a batch of those funky red and black numbers now KoK aint gunna need em anymore
