The RBKF's BlackBirds1 are not homemade as far as I know, but produced under licence by l'Atelier.

Quand je dis "Home made", c'est par opposition aux BlackBird1 couleurs noir/jaune de série fabriqués par Ramlal/Atelier et proposés à la clientèle "lambda".

Ils sont différents, au moins par leur voile au motif RBKF réservé au Team Red Bull.

As I speak english, you can talk to me in english on this forum - as a respect to the community.

These kites are not homemade, they are made under licence, and branded by RedBull, as far as i know.

Perhaps "custom" would be a better word? I think Michel is saying that you cannot go in to a shop and buy these.

For the record, our Furies were homemade also

Air-rex did fly Fury .95s, but they had different kites for their SULs.

Bonne journée à tous

And, BTW, the advantage of non design kites is that anyone can think you are flying BlackBirds on a World Cup, despise the fact the shapes are differents, and you are doing half axels on you ballet...



If these are BlackBirds, i'm the Cheshire cat.

Correct. These are probably more Slash than BB.

Of course, you're right Dave, "custom" is better !

The kites used by RBKF in 2012 were neither BlackBird or Slash but kites 100% Precision / team studied by Atelier kites.

Provisional name, Blue Machine.

Bonne journée à tous

In english please for Gui. Lol !

Exactly. This is what I meant.

I'm glad we have a name for them now
