Papillon links

[dreamcatcherwolf]

For Simon, and anyone else interested in making one:

w1.neuronnexion.com/~dferment/summary.htm

You will need to browse the site, but all the details are there. Note that there are both one- and four-line versions, I believe the plan is the same, only the bridling is different.

I'm struggling to find pics on the web of many of Kelvin's butterflies, there should be some of the Swindon workshop of a few years ago, but the links are down on the WHKF website at the moment. I cannot seem to find any of my pics from the two butterfly workshops that I did with Kelvin, either

And of course, I have no pictures from Basingstoke this weekend, as I was out flying one whenever they were up!

If anyone else has any links, please post here.

I found my Swindon workshop pics, but no group photo for design ideas, sorry

[dreamcatcherwolf]

There's a mass picture here for ideas

There's a close up of a couple at

kitelife.com/magazine/issue63/niagara08/content.php

in both case you might have to scroll down to find the pictures, and you can click on them to enlarge them.
I've dug out my two that I made in Kelvin's workshops, I'll take some pics and post the links when I can.

I think I have a load of papillon pictures from the festival at Niagara Falls that I attended in 2007 with Kelvin there flying his butterflies.

Will have a look tomorrow and upload them to Flickr.

I've put up some photos and Kelvin's workshop notes, hope this helps. Any queries, I'll bring my kites and the notes with me at future meets, and we can discuss any issues.

Never had as many as I thought

Plenty of nice ideas, though, Dave
I'm sure anyone wanting to make a papillon should now have enough info to get started, and any problems can be sorted. It's really not that difficult to make, after all I've managed two in workshops

Before I go further into as much research as you have, this 'Simon' wouldn't happen to be 'captaingoldwing' from this forum, or another 'Simon' who actually does fly kites?

I have spent an hour looking for my Papillon workshop pics ( from 2008 I think? ) without success, and dependent on which 'Simon' you refer to I may have spent more time looking for pictures than he would flying a kite?

On a serious note, how many people are genuinely interested in making this kite?

Me

Kelvin did suggest at the weekend if enough people were interested he would do another workshop

all we would need to do is get the numbers and a hall ;D

big luv

Errr...how about FINISHING the 'Moth' from the 6th.March workshop first?

I'd be up for another flutter-by too, as I can't do plans...need hands on help nearby.

So that's Jelv, RHW, Bow, DaveM.....?

In case anyone still needs pics, here is a link to the WHKF photo album of their workshop
