Build or adapt your gear

This page gathers resources around gear: printable parts, magic sticks, rod protection, night-flying solutions, travel frames and handles.

They do not all have the same level of detail. Some describe a small project you can reproduce directly; others preserve a workshop solution, a technical principle, external files or a discussion to adapt.

The following links give ideas for building or modifying handles, but do not yet form a complete tutorial:

• Modifying your handles - Polo Kites
• Handle curvature and foam position - KiteLife forum
• Revomania handle plans

The collection is still incomplete on several topics. We are especially looking for tutorials, measurements, photos or field notes about:

• making handles;
• sticks used to prepare team flying;
• modifying lines to make lark’s head knots easier to undo;
• making and using ground stakes;
• 3D parts actually tested with their dimensions and materials.
