Haha. Put some spars in that and try to fly it. Doubt that would work, but it might be fun trying lol. Sier_Pinski - 15-2-2014 at 03:31 PM
I think stitching on some bridles would be much better for a big foil like that. With that in mind it could definitely work.riffclown - 15-2-2014 at 03:35 PM
add a few tabs for a few more bridle lines and paint a big PL on the end and see what kind of rumours start popping up.:evil:
what do you think steve, 60m line set with the navigator bar?Windy Heap - 16-2-2014 at 03:55 PM
I've got $10 paypal towards a group purchase along with other PKF's to have it shipped, bridle rigged, and flown by Big Kid.
I'll be sure to provide pics and video of said event.
who else is in?
And I'm guessing Jeff's Diesel PU truck is at least 6800 pounds, so we have a good starting anchor point.

my truck is a few lbs shy of 5 tons, without fuel or kite stuff in the back
my paypal is 59.00 short for the purchase but I will pick it up forsome bigkid fun. If I can work out a harnes for my Ram, I could truck down the
beach. Yehaw, truckbuggy.:evil:bugymangp - 18-2-2014 at 10:51 AM
heres some history on that chute
i got that on ebay many years years ago for 50$ and tried to make a quad line kite out of it. never got it to fly right.
i had to make 3 ft handles for it. then i tired to make a single line out of it. i got it to fly but snapped the brides lines.
i put it back in the box and a few after that i sent it to AJ and he made a tent out of it. that was about 10yrs ago.
its called a halo chute. high alt. low opening chutebigkid - 18-2-2014 at 11:35 AM
I got the chute for 55 bucks, should have it in 3 to 5 business days.
if it wont fly, it will cover the truck or turn into a rv awning. :Dbugymangp - 18-2-2014 at 12:16 PM
hey big kid
i used 500ft of 500lb test line for the bride and snapped them like nothing when i made it into a single line. but i did get
it to fly for about 5 minutes before they started snapping.
good luck:evil::Dbigkid - 18-2-2014 at 09:39 PM

my calculations tell me 500 is abit light, 800 is the bottom for my idea. 500 would need to almost double the number of bridle lines.
will be fun to play aound with:ocrazyherb - 18-2-2014 at 09:54 PM
WOOT WOOT!!
Nice snag Jeff!!
Maybe a couple of wingtip spars and a PL style bridle and should ARC out like a dream...very low aspect ratio...but the power would be awesome...snowspider - 20-2-2014 at 07:58 PM
Love Sportsmans Guide. I had one , maybe bigger , seemed to take up half the back yard , I think the wife tossed when she still loved me , can't find
it anywhere! Now all I have is the 30foot round one the kids use as a tent.Windy Heap - 10-3-2014 at 10:38 AM
Big Kid, got an update on your new Pajama Tops?bigkid - 10-3-2014 at 11:35 AM
in the middle of moving. Its sitting in the trailer waiting to head off to IBB. As soon as we are settled in the new place that will be one of the 87
1st things on my list to do.
I was able to look at it before it got boxed up and it is loaded with bridle lines. Looked like they cut off the carabiners that hook to the parachute
harness and left the lines hanging there.
My first thought was to connect them to a pair of handles and go for a buggy ride.
