- Home made 2m Rokkaku first flight - Fresh from the sewing machine this is the very first test of my new 2m Rokkaku kite. Wind was a little stronger than I would have liked at 12kn - Bft 4.
5:4:3 size ratio. 7.5mm Skyshark P4X Camo carbon tube spars (similar to P400) with solid carbon internal ferrules. All up weight 380g with spars and bridle.

This video was just what I was after. I'm using a Ender 5 pro and slicing with Cura, worked a treat for me.....thanks for the great easy to understand video.....every day is a school day!!!!!
I've just recently made and successfully flown a similar Rokkaku and got my first photos, having learned a lot from you and a few others on UA-cam. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience, it's much appreciated. Best wishes.
Wonderful to hear of your success Chris. Have you posted photos anywhere?
@@AndrewNewton I put a couple up on Facebook but I'm (deliberately) hard to find there! I may do another short video that includes the best photos/video clips and I'm using some of the mountain/hill material in another video that I hope to upload to my channel soon.. I have a busy day job so have to fit all this in around it with short days at present here in Scotland, so I can't produce videos very quickly right now. I'll try to be sure to keep you informed. Thank you for your interest.
@@chris-terrell-liveactive I watched your paddle shaping video, very interesting. You have a great presentation style. Very clear and easy to follow.
@@AndrewNewton thank you! :)
It flies very nicely. Nice high-tech line winder.
what a stable flight!
Love from india ❤️
Greetings India!
Very stable and easy to fly.
I might have to teach you how to build a "Papagaio" and "Pipa" they are great kites.
Very Cool!
very good
In my childhood we made such flying devices. They were called snakes. The size was small and also had a bridle. Also, there was a tail. Now I am engaged in modeling and one of the directions is "wingless aircraft". The principle of flight is like that of a snake, but without a leash and on the radio control.
Flying snake would be interesting. Hope you post some videos.
Just can't get enough of these kites. Brilliant!
ff
Very nice
Nice, this inspired me to do me a 1.4m taffeta nylon fabric version and a stratospool too. cheers!
Excellent, good luck
Flys straight up. Wow. I just checked it out on EBay. Expensive!!!!

Very nice video
Nice steady wind. I have a couple kites that would almost be dangerous in that wind ND a few so fast that they are hard to see. Beautiful kite, congrats. She deserves some bedizenment dude.
Must be big kites Brain.
Very cool!
Here in Brazil this type of kite is not so common ( in fact, I never seen one! ) .
Many thanks for the video!
Thanks Marco. I think you do have hexagonal kites in Brazil but with different spars
Great stuff
Se eu Soltar um pipão desses com chilena. Faço. a limpa 😁👌👍 , good video 😉
Looks nice and stable, man thats a serious kite string holder! Nice! Put a camera on it! Thanks for sharing the video 🙂
Serious pull from the big kite
I like your wooden reel, that's cool.
It's called a Strato Spool

Is it practical to string-fly a thermal glider like a kite to altitude then release? (sorry re old thread)
Difficult to keep the glider from tangling on the way up but it has been done. My mate Allen Moore has shown how on his channel.
This could lift a small RC glider to a good height if the wind was right. I suppose you have to play with the angle of attack a bit to get the best altitude. Thanks for this. Bit different.
Yes it would do the job easily.
good
Cool string winder! Did you build it yourself?
its easy to have in our study thnks for making this
Excellent, glad you like it

बहुत अच्छा
so nice
Hi Andrew! Nice kite! I was wondering if you could tell me how you go about hooking up the scale to your kite line? Any information would be greatly appreciated! Best regards!
Thanks, it's called a Gamma Hook and you wrap the kit line under one hook then over and under the other hook a few times andrewnewtonkap.blogspot.com/search/label/gamma%20hook
Good
Good job my friend

Thanks for that, I'll subscribe to your channel
Good job
Thanks man. Can I ask where or how you found this video? It has become very popular lately and I don't know why. Love your channel by the way
Andrew Newton thanks
Hallo Andrew must you put on werking gloves for safety.
When can we make the line roller thank you greetings happy newyear salvatore
For big kite safety gloves are a must. That line burns and slices flesh if it gets out of control.
how to make sure
I like it
Thanks, it works very well for heavy lifting
Thank you for the measurements! Now I know how large kite I need to lift myself :D

What Is Islam?
Islam is not just another religion.
It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
{ “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)
Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him
Muito bom

Hi Andrew, just seen this, fantastic kite, very stable...I was hoping to see it soar up to 500 feet or more...?
Don't know about 500ft but it has been quite high www.flickr.com/photos/pandasimages/albums/72157631331072798
keep making more videos bro ...
Thanks for your great help. What size are the spars and spine? My guess is 8mm. Many thanks Pete.
Hi Pete, spars are Skyshark P4X from Kitesandfunthings, might be 7.5mm from memory
Thanks for such a quick response. I will follow it up. Regards Pete
Só faltou tirar aqueles plásticos de cima e botar um rabiolao que fica um latão daora
💚💚💚💚💚💚
So well behaved.
Yes when tuned correctly they are rock solid.
Hello friend you could teach do it looks jenial
Looks brilliant, Andrew! An amazing first flight with no adjustments required, so a great testament to your kite-building skill. Have you made many kites before? You seem quite adept at sewing.

Great!!! I am new in this hobby. Can you please provide information regarding dimensions of carbon fibre rods ?
Welcome. The spars are Skyshark P4X Camo carbon arrows from Kites and Fun things. Specs are on their website
To keep cost down FG tube or rod can be used. For this 2 metre Rok I would use FL414 for the vertical spar, FL 370 for the horizontal spar. These are about 10 mm and 8 mm external diameters respectively. Sure these are heavier than carbon spars but I don't think it makes a big difference to the flight performance. Slightly suboptimal bridle settings can negate the carbon advantage. I have also found that carbon spreaders will snap if flown in winds higher than intended such as in unexpected gusty conditions. On the other hand filament wound fibreglass tube is very forgiving and will bend rather than break. IMO, the use of carbon spars is overkill on Rokkakus, especially since they are around 3 times more expensive than FG. I have built a range of Roks including a 16 kite 1.2 metre train, 1.5. 1.7, 1.9, 2.5 versions and I'm currently building a 3.8 x 3 metre Samurai Rok. For this I will use FL 602 fibreglass tube for vertical and horizontal spars. It will have a 7 point bridle. For all the other Roks, I use a 4 point bridle. I sometimes I have two versions of the same kite by using an alternative spar set that will increase the upper and lower wind range. However, spar pockets and fittings must be adaptable to two spar sizes. I use Dyneema for flying line and bow lines. It ranges from 90 kg for small kites up to 550 lb for the bigger kites. Of course, the bigger kites can't be flown from hand and must be anchored. This puts them at festival and display only kites. 1.2, 1.7 and 1.9 are ok flown from a reel in miderate winds but they can be difficult to manage in anything over 30 kph (15 knots).
You can see more info at Kitebuilders, a forum in the USA. It has a few Aussies on it, all Australian Kiteflyers Society members.

Andrew, your Roks are neat, exceptionally well constructed and fly really nice. I agree that it's not worth while to sell them as the time and effort to make these would price them way out of the cheap Chinese market. Those NRL Roks are taking me an average of 10 hours each with graphics. I get over $50/hour in my job. No way could I charge $500 for one of these NRL kites. $80 maybe and that is just not worth it. I'll stick with making them for my own pleasure and satisfaction.
@@droceretik what is FG tubing? Is FG an abbreviation meaning what? Thanks

Nice i will try this😊😊😊👍👍
Good luck, it's an impressive style of kite
Hi Andrew,
New hobby?? Kiting??? Boored of building aeroplanes????
Anton
Eindhoven/Netherlands
Look at the date the video was uploaded
does the kite become heavier the more the string is let out
More wind drag on the line, but weight doesn't matter so much with this big kite

How much did the entire progject cost you?
Have a look at my KAP blog, it's all detailed there. andrewnewtonkap.blogspot.com.au/
Aw man! That's yours? I been bouncing all over that page!! Awesome!
Do you, or would you sell one of your handmade kites?
SecularSoutherner504 No I don't sell kites. Finish isn't good enough to sell and the time/cost would be too much.
Ok.
What's new in this,,,,,,kite are flying in the air since decades and decades

Hallo i am making the rogallo
What do you use for the sail thank you
Kite ripstop nylon from Emma Kites. Mine was $6.00 / yard back then. Important to know that kite ripstop or spinnaker cloth is lighter and has less stretch compared to tent or banner ripstop.
Nice bro you are creative
