41g per m² Chikara Ripstop Nylon (Officially Used By Flexifoil International)

41g per m²  Chikara Ripstop Nylon (Officially Used By Flexifoil International)



Chikara Ripstop Nylon 41g/m²
1st quality, crisp, light weight cloth at aproximately 115cm wide, suitable for general purpose and high spec applications. Probably the most used material in kite building. Flexifoil have been using this cloth exclusivly ever since they first released the Blade Mk1. The fabric is made of nylon and double sided coated, so it is very good water repellent. It is very strong and doesn't tear easily at a relative low weight (about 41 grams). The fabric feels soft and the square structure is very visible (5 x 5 mm)

Because of the huge colour range, we currently order in Chikara specifically for each customer, delivery times are naturally a little longer. Usually 4-5 day lead times on Chikara


All cloth is measured per meter pulled off the roll, so 1m of purchased fabric will buy a piece of cloth measuring 100cm x 153cm, 15m of purchased fabric will buy a piece of cloth 15m x 153cm.

High quality epoxy resin pultruded Carbon Fibre

Carbon Fibre Tube in a range from 4 to 12mm outsite diameter, larger sizes available on request. Standard lengths 1m and 1.5m Our Carbon Fibre Tube comes in either a pultruded construction, pultruded is a stiff carbon that maintains a degree of flex.

The primary advantage of using carbon tubes for a project, vs. fiberglass or metal, is its high stiffness to weight ratio. Carbon fibre is stiff and very lightweight, making it ideal for rigid frame construction. There is a degree of flexibility to the carbon depending on diameter (small diameter has a lot more flex than large diameter tube)

Pultruded carbon tube, also known as graphite rods or unidirectional carbon fiber tube, are used in many industrial applications and aerospace designs, as well as in hobbies such as RC airplanes and RC sailboats, dual line kites and single line kites, and just about anywhere else you want a stiff, strong rod.

Cutting Carbon - We recommend the easiest and most cost effective way to cut carbon is with a fine tooth junior hacksaw... wrap the carbon with tape, and score the whole circumference with the blade before cutting all the way through. Also wearing eye protection and a dust mask for safety is a good idea!

Flexifoil- 6', 8' & 10' Stackers

Flexifoil Power Kites

Flexifoil Power Kites

The kite that started the power kite scene, Flexifoil's two-line sparred foils are hugely powerful for their size, easy to fly and a massive buzz! The perfect entry to power kite flying, these kites are ideal for dragging or scudding around, and occasional jumps. They're durable, quick to set up and are covered by a superb 30 day repair or replace warranty.

Flexifoil 6' Stacker

Price: £112.33 (Including VAT at 20%)

Quantity:  

The Flexifoil Stacker 6 is the original power kite and one of the simplest recreational power kites available. Easy to assemble and quick to learn, the Stacker 6 is the perfect introduction to the sport and the safest way to become aware of kite pulling power and speed. These two line kites can be powerful depending on what strength of winds you fly them in. In light winds they are easy to handle, and as the wind speed increases, so does the power and speed. The Stacker 6 has achieved record breaking speeds of up to 110 mph!

The Stacker 6 has a two-part flexible spar in the leading edge, to which the flying lines are attached: one line at each spar tip. The leading edge spar gives shape to the kite and eliminates the need for bridle lines.

Stacking: Fly this kite on its own, or stack several kites together to generate even more power and lift. Different sizes (6ft, 8ft & 10ft) can be mixed (with the larger kites at the top). Stronger flying lines should be used, depending upon the number and size of the kites in the stack.

Upgrade to the larger 8ft Pro-Team for a perfect combination of quick response, manoeuverability and good 'raw' power. Pull rating is equivalent to approximately 2 x 6ft Stackers.

The Super-10 has an even higher power rating, and will really test your skill and muscles to the max. Pull rating is equivalent to approximately 3 x 6ft Stackers.

RASTA colour style ONLY

Package Includes: 82ftx150lb / 25mx70kg lines on winder, straps, instructions, sticker, bag & repair voucher

Flexifoil 8' Pro-Team

Price: £130.43 (Including VAT at 20%)

Quantity:  

Flexifoil's original power kite range is one of the simplest recreational power kites available. The Proteam 8 is an excellent all-round power kite. Super-controllable and great for getting into skidding, this kite has just enough power for small jumps. If you've flown a dual line kite before this is ideal: the perfect fusion of quick response and raw power. Pull rating is equivalent to approximately 2 x 6ft Stackers. These kites can be powerful depending on what strength of winds you fly them in. In light winds they are easy to handle, and as the wind speed increases, so does the power and speed.

The Proteam 8 has a three part flexible spar in the leading edge, to which the flying lines are attached: one line at each spar tip. The leading edge spar gives shape to the kite and eliminates the need for bridle lines.

Stacking: Fly this kite on its own, or stack several kites together to generate even more power and lift. Different sizes (6ft, 8ft & 10ft) can be mixed (with the larger kites at the top). Stronger flying lines should be used, depending upon the number and size of the kites in the stack.

RASTA colour style ONLY

Package Includes: 30mx90kg / 200lb lines on winder, padded straps, instructions, sticker, bag & repair voucher
Flexifoil 10' Super-10

Price: £156.52 (Including VAT at 20%)

Quantity:  

Flexifoil's original power kite range is one of the simplest recreational power kites available. The Super 10 generates a huge amount of power and is suitable for intermediate to expert fliers.

The Super-10 has an even higher power rating than the Stacker 6 or Proteam 8, and will really test your skill and muscles to the max. Great for skidding, getting big airs and a fantastic all-round fitness workout. These kites can be very powerful depending on what strength of winds you fly them in. As the wind speed increases, so does the power and speed.

The pull rating is equivalent to approximately 3 x 6ft Stackers. The Super 10 has a three part flexible spar in the leading edge, to which the flying lines are attached: one line at each spar tip. The leading edge spar gives shape to the kite and eliminates the need for bridle lines.

Stacking: Fly this kite on its own, or stack several kites together to generate even more power and lift. Different sizes (6ft, 8ft & 10ft) can be mixed (with the larger kites at the top). Stronger flying lines should be used, depending upon the number and size of the kites in the stack.
