Oh hey, a community relevant to me!

I've been trying to find more people to fly with, but the few people I have met who fly quads never seem to be too communicative, or only communicate via facebook or something. (I am in Rhode Island, there doesn't seem to be any club presence around me that I've ever been able to find)

Those are all some very nice looking kites. I especially like the mostly black one with the red/orange trailing edge. I have a Rev RX and RX spyder surf city special phantom, they're solid black, I call them my "goth kites" lol

    Cool, welcome! I just started this community today as I'm starting to post photos from a festival this weekend.

    I'm on the west coast, but I've traveled around for kites quite a bit. There is a festival in Long Beach Island, NJ coming up soon (Oct 10, Oct 11). https://lbifly.com/ There will definitely be quad kite fliers there.

    The black/red is my own build called Essentials. I have details about them on my website, including open source build plans and 3d printing models for fittings: https://watty.us

    Oh, that's really cool! I have been wheedling about trying to build my own kites. I've had a 3D printer for a while, and recently acquired a nice sewing machine... I might give your indoor model a shot this winter. I love some of the more custom patterns you've made, especially the plaid and the "deal with it". Very inspiring!

    Unfortunately I am busy the weekend of that festival. I was also busy the last couple times I've seen festivals down in NJ. I need to look further ahead and get one on my calendar before everything fills up...
