Hi,

Winter is here!

I have the following gear for sale:

Kite: 2008 Ozone Manta (10m^2)
w/
- Bar
- Lines
- Backpack
- Manual
- Spare fabric and lines for repairs

Harness: Best (waist style), size L, unknown year.

This kite is a parafoil style and can only be used for land traction.
It cannot
be relaunched in water.

The gear was used for only one season of riding on snow only in the
Moose Jaw, SK
area. It is all in like new condition. The kite fabric is still very
crispy. I
was posted to Vancouver Island and will not be using it anymore -
there are
mountains to ski here!

I weigh 160lb and learned on this kite in light winds. It is
depowerable and
suitable to a wide wind range. With winds blowing around 30 km/h it
really
hauls.

Info from manufacturer here:
http://www.flyozone.com/landkites/en/products/previouse-kites/manta/info/

and here: http://downloads.flyozone.com/pdf/Manta_flyer_highres.pdf

I'm looking for $800. Buyer to pick up or pay shipping. I estimate
shipping will be approximately $60 via Canada Post to pretty much
anywhere in Canada. If you are in the Ottawa area, I will be in the
region over Christmas visiting my parents and a local delivery can be
arranged.

If you're interested, send me an email outside the group to doepner.ar@...
or give me a call.

Sorry for the little spam intrusions, seems Peter's account has been hacked :-(
Placed on moderation until it is sorted to keep them off list.

Cabarete is located on the Bay of Cabarete, about 25 kilometers east
from the international airport of Puerto Plata (Gregorio Luperon
International Airport).
Upon his arrival in Cabarete, the tourist is immediately trust in a city
whose main religion is the passion for water sports such as kitesurfing
<http://www.cabareteguide.com/kiteboarding-lessons.html>   and
windsurfing.
The beating heart of the city is obviously on the beach of Cabarete, a 4
km bay of white sand lined with coconut.
During the day, the horizon is dotted with hundreds of kite
<http://www.cabareteguide.com/>   and windsurf sails, at night, bars and
restaurants of the beach are transformed into clubs with the typic
atmosphere, warm and dynamic, of enthusiasts and lovers of water sports.

I have a 4.8 skimbat for sail. 2 sails dacron One used, one never used.

Happy new        year!

And good news...! I finished the drawings and plans for my
BarretinaHyperlite.

The plans and additional information are here
http://www.laboratoridenvol.com/projects/bhl/bhl.html
<http://www.laboratoridenvol.com/projects/bhl/bhl.html>
posted in public domain for free study, copy, and development. In
addition, the first prototype is being built by my friends at Adrenaline
Paragliders headquarters in Yecla (South-eastern Spain). Is very close
to        finish!

I think a new breed of simple-surface paragliders is emerging...

I notice more news soon, with pictures of the first unit.

Best regards,

Pere

Ben Franklin used a basic diamond kite with a metalized string attached to a key

I would go out on a limb here and say that no kite is good for power generation.
You might want to look into a tethered Aerostat. Plenty of surface area for
Photo Voltaic Cells and infinitely more stable.

The DEA operates them along our southern border. Their Aerostats are equipped
with radars to track low flying aircraft flown by Drug Traffickers.

You might Catch some Flack from the FAA if you use it above 400 ft above ground

The FAA have only just finished their first consultation process in order to
develop their new AWE (Airborne Wind Energy) class.

I used some small beginner kites for my proof of concept

I have thought about testing a similar design but with tapered vent sizes along
each outer foil for maximum ram air inflation pressure as the spinning speed
increases.   Nice work on actually creating a prototype!
