Temppu Leija by Tom Degryse
Tom did not find any kite that was good enough for him, one that could be tricked with minimum hand movements and that didn't pull that much (considering his weak back). So he started to adapt what was on his designboard: a Suriv (a modded Virus) and a B'zar STD. From that point on he made something like 7 different kites, each one a little closer to what he was looking for. Finally he came up with a smaller scale (95%) and lower aspect ratio than "the parents" :-) He looked for a name and ended up with the Finnish for Trick Kite: " Temppu Leija ". At the moment he has a STD and UL model that fly well, a SUL should be made soon.
Normally, plans should available by mailing him and asking, or waiting for him to put them on the internet.
Most of the next movie is pilot Werner flying the Temppu Leija on the beach in Zeebrugge, Belgium movie Temppu Leija
