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!

Shadow (Light Wind Collection)

The Shadow resulted from the collaboration of our test pilots Ralf Naujocks and Ralph Joh. The goal was to create a light wind kite that had full freestyle abilities (mastery of all of the old and new tricks while ensuring a high level of precision), and attained the hovering properties of an UL kite.
We think that the Shadow was extremely successful in meeting these goals.
With the Shadow, pilots can be ready to work on tricks with even the slightest breeze on a quiet day.
The light weight and elegant appearance of this kite take you away from the daily grind for a while.
With an MP3 Player and the right music in your ear, flying the Shadow could become meditation. The construction of the Shadow is very light. It is a kite for advanced pilots and experts.
