Pigs
Pigs
are keep on rolling, in the beginning it was a badge bought in Berck
sur Mer.
Surely
there can be build a kite out of it. Two years already this idea
lay dormant in the cellar.
Then
this year, took a look at the devil and the Spaniards came to the
conclusion, so round, its shape may have.
First
two little pigs tested once, before the 6 meters wide and 18 meters
(59 ft) long version goes into production.
So
a little pig consumes approximately:...............22
meters (72 ft) ripstop nylon and 1.04 meters (3,4 ft) wide
.................................50
meters (164 ft) inner cords
.................................50
meters (164 ft) bridle lines
...........................
30 meters (98 ft) seam tape
First,
the front and rear side is cut and sewn together.
The
sides are divided into a grid. Every 25 cm (0,8 ft) is sewn a reinforcement.
Then the peripheral strip is sewn of 28 cm (0,9 ft).
In
the head region, a zipper is sewn, so that we later comes to the
inner cords.
Back
panel with rotating stripes and grids
Then
the internal ropes had to be linked. Approximately 50 pieces in
the width of the surrounding side strip plus 5 cm (0,16 ft) for
the addition of nodes.
Sew
and engage the applications with seam tape.
Finished
front
In
the circulating stripes are three about 4 - 5 meters (13 - 16 ft)
long and 68 cm (2,2 ft) wide tentacles sewn.
Below,
two tails sewn to each tentacle.
Then
set the points for the scale on the front and attach small loops.
Above,
between the lenses is a small hole of about 15 - 20 cm (0,5 - 0,65
ft) cut and sewed a piece of ripstop nylon behind as a valve cover.
The
scale the bridle line and good luck with the wind.
The
result looks like this .....
They
can also fly in a train
