Kite Cave items (or aviation) wanted...

pokitetrash - 22-7-2013 at 12:51 PM

So -- getting divorced-- But family is good, kids live with me, and Terri and I are getting along better than we have in years actually. Keeping the house and Kite Fort (YAY!) and so the really nice, huge sun room with the pretty wicker shall forever more be known as -- The Kite Cave! Why? BECAUSE I CAN!!! Anyway, I'm looking for cool ideas to bring it to life. So if you have any kite nick nacks or aviation items to donate or sell, I'm open to ideas. I'll install one or two retired deltas, have high celings so I was thinking of putting up an old FB but I dont have one I want to retire so if anyone has one thats blown or so uncrispy it needs to be repurposed into something else, let me know. I was even thinking of a small arc, or part of an arc that I can install a computer fan in and infate it up in the ceiling for fun? Flexifoil, Ozone, PeterLynn flags? What have people made out of old kites/ripstop?

Excellent! It would be great to see you round these parts more

I envision the room with crap all over the walls like an Applebee's! Lol. The ball is rolling!

Hey PoKite.. you're an animal.. (fart) That should be a blast to the past with all the ideas flowing through your head in your newly visioned kite cave. Or will it be the bat cave? LOL

I should be out there at OOBE again in a few hours. Maybe by lunch time. Winds are already nice this morning. Yesterday was a blast, and today should be even better. (bring your sun shades) We have been using the other field in the far east corner. The front field is being used for golf practice, and he is wanting to grow "hay" up along the otherside so he keeps the back one cut nice for us. The small one is of course for the RC's.

.. Just plug in the coordinates 33.457716,-81.837675 and it will put you there.

I have a really nice retro Flexifoil flag that would be perfect! It has history now too since I had it in Cali and here in Nevada. I might have some other things to contribute.

pokitetrash - 23-7-2013 at 09:49 AM

You know Bobby, its almost like I started this thread thinking of that exact flag! Lol.:ninja:

stetson05 - 23-7-2013 at 04:45 PM

I have a torn up blaze 5mg (blue) and a ozone IMP 3.5 in orange either could be repaired but I think the cost is too high. The Ozone is in better shape but the bridle is destroyed. Cost was over $200 to replace the bridle.

Sorry to hear the bad news, but the kite cave sounds cool, Chris,... I would love to have a kite cave,... But I just got a woodshop, so I'm sure a kite cave is out of the question.

Great minds think alike! It's only right it be on the wall of your kite cave.

Hey bro enjoy the next phase of your life, am going thru this trip also.

Get in touch with Kokopelli kiter he makes far out wire buggy and kite statues, just an idea.

If you wish I will see if I can find some Aussie kite trinkets for your Kite Cave

Either would be cool hanging, let me know what you need for them + shipping, etc. Send me a U2U.

You can come hang out in mine anytime! Always room in the KiteFort/Guest House if you want to make a weekend of OOBE.

10-4 good buddy, we'll keep that on the horizon for sure!

Proletariat - 24-7-2013 at 03:52 PM

I have a really new trampa tyre that blew the wire out of, if you want it. You can put it right next to the French horn at kite-applebees. No old hubs just yet, but I'm sure I'll have one soon

Todd - 24-7-2013 at 04:02 PM

I have a Peter Lynn flag that I no longer use and you can have :smilegrin:


Huge win if you get in touch with the Kokopelli kiter !!!

I sent him a U2U. Something from him in the room would be great!

Todd - 24-7-2013 at 07:08 PM

Thanks for the address... I'll deliver the flag in person so we can catch up Brother.

Dude! You serious? You always have a permanent invite when you're passing close by!

rocfighter - 29-7-2013 at 09:14 AM

I have a couple proto type Go Fly foils I will never try to fly again. Let me see if I can find a nice PINK one for you! :P I think I still have your address some where. If not I'll massage you for it.

Wow... TMI :lol: :lol:

Of all the crummy places to typo huh?

pokitetrash - 9-2-2014 at 05:13 PM

Sorry it's taken me waaay too long to get this going again! But I have gotten a couple things up tonight in the Kite Cave -- Thanks to BeamerBob and Bladerunner!!!

The Flexifoil Flag from Beamer Bob has a bit of history between me and Bobby and has been all over the world. It's really grungy from being flown in all kinds of environments, a bit ratty and a bit moldy but you couldn't find a better piece for the Kite Cave.

The Peter Lynn Feather Banner is from the most awesome Bladerunner! He was the very first and most eager to help with the Kite Cave and he sent this waaaay back when I first started this thread and alot of crap going on in my life kept it on the back burner but it's an awesome piece and my ex wife will surely hate the #@%$#! of it!! (My Kite Cave damn it!!).

:thumbup: Looks Good!

Bladerunner - 9-2-2014 at 05:49 PM

That is fantasic. I am glad that life is so good that it took time to get around to this.

I'll just be happy I have the kite shed. No room to party but it is my happy place.

Life has been complicated. Not bad, but could have been better. I've been learning to be Mr Mom. Starting to get my mojo back!

Must... Have... Chili... Run........................:wee:

RedSky - 9-2-2014 at 07:46 PM

Way back when, my local kite shop had a few inflated looking foils hanging from the rafters. I believe they used hair spray and a hair dryer to hold the shape. No fan needed.

MyAikenCheeks - 9-2-2014 at 08:40 PM

Remember me, your graphic artist friend? Got an idea, I can make it happen! Luv to give a hand.
