EO V-plane

In light wind this kite is hard to beat for playing with breezes.

The high aspect ratio V bi-plane is stable flying wing that can be tricked at will with subtle line manipulation.
will do reverse hover-roll takeoffs and barrel rolls and many more soaring moves.

As this is an EO it does get bigger when folded, it folds flat instead of in halves which limits sizes that can be transported easily.
Made in the smaller ovals shown it will fold down to sport kite size and not be too much problem traveling folds to a package 1600mm by 250mm by 16mm.

Mini Super Barrage

The Mini super barrage was conceived for the need of more rigidity in a higher aspect ratio wing. This entailed making it with smaller ovals and tighter rigging giving it a taught finish.

In Super barrage form this kite is a very efficient flier achieving stable flight at high angles. From very low winds speeds it works the best taking advantage of its light wing loading, to higher winds where stability is not lost, flexing off gusts.

EO plane and box assembly

The system to join EO has been described in the 'EO Stacking' post, here are pictures showing an EO Fokker plane assembled.

Note how the spars go on one side and the shock corded end cap opposite to clasp the intersecting planes of the wing center. For the front three plane intersection it is important to make the shock cord go around the bottom part of the center plane oval as this locks the spar to the center line.

The system is designed to be robust by having some give in times of impact, and sometimes may need to be reset if taking too many nose dives.

Cuttle Fish

The cuttlefish was designed for a client in Port Lincoln who's already had a 12 m Tuna, another local specialty.

The cuttle fish is 6 metres wide by 15 metres long and comes with a puffer fish drogue for stability. It fly's effortlessly off a line and is excellent off a leash.

Its frill flows as it swims in the air with realistic shape and and manner.

EO barrage

Feeding off the Wright EO concept, the EO Barrage was a natural evolvement drawing inspiration again from early pioneers, the plane series evolved from my EO10 and a Cody sitting together one day sparking a string of developments that share the EO ease of assembly, and shock-cord clasp convenience.

EO V-plane

The EO V-plane concept was a test to see a series of planes done in the diagonal rigged cells and test limits, the first V-plane I made in the larger ovals and has the lightest wind performance so far. Unfortunately is a little too large to transport easily by plane, and I developed one out of the smaller ovals, which comes in at 1.6m that is.

Shares the same style that has led to some awesome soaring and stable kites that share the EO assembly, and shock-cord clasp convenience.

EO Bi-Plane

A spin-off in the EO development has been the Plane series.
The Bi-plane has the ease of use that the EO System affords with ease of assembly using the unique shock-cord clasp system and an amazing amount of fun flying in even the lightest of winds.
The biplane will do barrel rolls, loops and spins, stalls, fly upside down all with deft line control in a variety of wind conditions.
Once assembled; launch can be achieved by either glide/dart style, or by placing it on the ground upside down, the plane will hover to level, then barrel roll to the correct flying attitude.
