Got an Old Depower, Have a bash at this
I first met Kieron Jansch when I made a buggy for him in early 2009, little did I know what a superb craftsman this man is. Below you can see step by
step guide of how Kieron turns a sad old 3m Frenzy into a work of art.

That is internet gold right there! Too bad I don't have the materials, or craftsmanship to attempt something like that. That was enough inspiration
for me to try and build something though... maybe I'll build a nice box kite...

That is absolutely amazing. Wish I had the skills, patience and tools to pull that off. I'd love to see my Avatar on a kite.
