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!

Delta Flow Tails

Delta Flowtails have taken a new spin on things, such a simple creation has brought a long graceful serpant of the sky to life. We have a large range of flowtail deltas that are perfect for filling your patch of sky with colour, hanging line laundry on, and even KAP

Sled & Foil Kites

Sleds and foils are nearly unbreakable and are either completely soft (frameless) or have the minimum of spars incorporated into their design. All are wind inflated and require little or no assembly. The small sleds and foils fold down and fit into a pocket, and are perfect for younger fliers. Larger sleds and foils are very stable and generate tremendous pull. These are often used for kite aerial photography as well as supporting a whole array of flags, banners and other line laundry.

Delta Conynes

The Delta Conyne is a very stable kite which flies extremely well in a large variety of winds. Delta Conynes combine the cellular structure of a Conyne (box) with the wings of a delta, resulting in a high lift kite with incredible stability, even in variable winds. These kites are often used for kite aerial photography as well as supporting a whole array of line laundry.

Delta Kites

These traditional delta kites are a classic design, and are really easy to assemble and fly. Deltas have long been appreciated for being reliable and stable fliers, particularly in light winds. Due to their excellent lifting characteristics, they are also used for lifting various forms of line laundry including windsocks, spinners and banners. All have lovely graphics printed on to the nylon sail, and some are even appliquéd. Ready to fly, with flying line and handle included.

Diamond Kites

The traditional diamond kite is a classic design, and one of the most recognizable kite shapes. Diamond kites have endured the test of time and have proven to be strong and reliable fliers. Simple to put together and fly, our diamond kites have a light pull, and are an excellent choice for children and adults alike. All have lovely graphics printed or appliquéd on to the nylon sail, and include tails for stability and effect. Ready to fly with flying line and handle included.

Box Kites

A box kite is a high-performance kite, noted for developing relatively high lift. It was invented by the Australian Lawrence Hargrave in 1893 Hargrave also linked several box kites together, creating sufficient lift for him to fly some 16 ft (4.9 m) off the ground.

Designer and Collectables

Born in 1964, Rainer Hoffman discovered his addiction to kite flying during 1986 in St Peter Ording. After building his first “regular” kites he quickly proceeded with his own unique designs. He finished 1st place several times during the German Championships since 1997 and already published his own assembly manuals. All kites of Rainer Hoffman truly convince through tremendous creativity and beautiful designs.
