Dunno where to put this but ... had to drop my Kitewing on the concrete in the carpark I was zooming around in today :wee: and grazed some holes in
the sail, at the hardpoints on the leading edge.
What would be the best method of repair? Glue and hand-stitch a layer of something over the top? Or just mylar tape?
Thanks in advance ...ripsessionkites - 16-4-2009 at 12:57 AM

I got some stuff called Tear Aid - I put holes in my Airush third time out which
is why I bought a used one for $100 of a good mate :D
The problem is, looking at them again, the holes are on the knobby bits where the frame touches the cloth ... so if I drop it again, it'll go through
the tape
I'm thinking of gluing some erm tougher fabric at those points and maybe stitching the edges - whaddya think?ripsessionkites - 16-4-2009 at 07:39 PM

KITEFIX is not my shop ...
nope, never seen Clear Dacron before, but it does come in green, red, blue, white and black
if you're trying to hide the holes, maybe Clear Supertape.
