My New Buggy Pan


Well, this is version 1.02 still trimming and changing as we go along.
Crazy trying to get stuff from the UK just to expensive.
So made a bell pan, I call it the BumBumper.
I made it of HDPE and here she is.

I like 'em fine. They were my first kites. I rarely have enough wind for the 3mē at my home buggy spots, so the 5 has more air time. Sam's are great for cruising. But sometimes I want more speed, like when I am chasing a buddy with a faster kite... I could use a 2mē and a 7mē in my collection. When I'm in the desert, sometimes I need a 2mē. Often when I'm at the beach, I need a 6 or 7.2mē.

I go back-and-forth though; sometimes I want a race foil (like the Yakuza) and sometimes I want a sheetable foil (like the Access).

Hey Krumly, it is 4 mm or 1/8 inch. Bends fairly easy and is strong stuff.
A sheet of 4x8 makes about three for the Flex buggies.
Make your self a good pattern, I used poster board, cheap and some rigidity too.
Good luck
