I like the look of this and christian's kites are really nice. Since I tweaked my diablis bridle it flies much better and tazes well too and the vortex is a pleasure to fly straight out of the bag. =D>

I am noticing a trend .... low aspect to high aspect and now somewhere in between :cool:

I am interested in your bridle measurements for the Diablis. I have one of the originals, and it has remained dormant...needs a refresher flight, I think.

Obi, Mine are derefat ones so I don't know whether the bridles are the same as the R Sky version. I found that taking the tow point up and out helped with the control then adjusted to get the taz going. I will dig them out and pm them to you when I get a chance :cool:

Yeah, that's what I mean...I still have the 2nd prototype from the man, as it were. I have the two time TP winner yellow.

Nice shape. Did they paint the doors and walls to suit the kite or make the kite for the walls and doors or is it just serendipity. Aside from that Mr Derefat does the best home grown stuff, love my Organic, hope he does put the plans out.

I too await the availability of plans (if he is willing to put them out there). Not that I don't have a long enough list of kites to build!

i flew the monster this sunday, just a great machine!!!!!

Very flat axels, a little bit harder (then for example the organic) to have it in a yoyo. Direct input. A little bit harder to fly it on its back....

I'm a fan, great flying!

Just a bump to see if anyone has heard about plans being available for the monster.
