Patching Wings

Tim pulled his 6.0 wing across an aluminum sign yesterday.  Roland likely landed his foil through his wing.

Today I helped patch both their wings.  Here's Roland's 3.6 Spin ready to go!

Wing Repairs (again)

La and I got our order from Sailrite in today.  Inside there was a roll of ripstop tape - just what I needed to repair the rip I put in my Ensis 5.2 wing.  


Round those edges to prevent lifting of the repair tape.


Taped up both sides longitudinal along the rip.


Tomorrow La will sew this and four of the leading edges seams that have started to wear (wings definitely lead harder lives than kites do).


The winds return on Thursday - repairs done just in time!!!
