Le Karma - Building description

Christian's Karma's

Introduction

For now this is just a small placeholder for a webpage dedicated to Le Karma. Le Karma is another kite designed by Christian Derefat famous already for his Le Virus design. The original Karma plans are available on Christians site. If you're interested in other plans from Christian or would like to see some videos of various tricks take a look at Christians site.

The original plans by Christian are available and can be used to make your own templates. A conversion to other electronic formats is beeing made by the kiting community as I type this; however there seems to be a small error in the specifications. We're working with Christian to get this resolved so please be patient if you're dependant on formats like PDF, DXF, DWG or other stuff. It's coming....

Update 10 Februari 2006: the plans are available:

Kite characteristics

To quote Christian's announcement of Le Karma on Bilboquet's forum:

Salut les amis Je vous présente ma dernière création, après 6 voilures et la colaboration de Bastia voici le résultat qui frise la perfection. Il a été développer surtout pour la précision, il est a l’image en précision ce que le virus est au freestyle Voici quelque caractéristique de vol : envergure+- 245 cm Très précis, il est capable de descendre à la verticale pleine vitesse de faire une boucle très serrée au ras du sol et repartir a 5 cm parallèle au sol sans perte de pression, très fluide .Dérape très bien, fait de superbe hélicoptère, très planant sur le dos ce qui permet des multilazy très lent ou très rapide .Pas besoin de contrôle en sortie de virage et ligne droite il est comme sur un rail. Stop parfaitement. Tout les spiques, posé de toute sorte sont un régal. Ca yofade ,crazy copter ,backspin ,comète ,torpille, deadlauch,yoyo en un temps,superbe cascade d’axel ,wapdoowap.ect Une fois de plus dévelloper pour ceux qui veule construire un cv très performant, le plan sera mis en ligne pour la fin de l’année sur mon site . http://cerfvolanttrick.no-ip.com Heu ……pour les mauvaises langues c’est loin d’être une copie, parti comme base d’un grand neutron plus profond et plus courbé

Using babelfish translation: Hello the friends I present my last creation to you, after 6 aerofoils and the colaboration of Bastia here the result which plank perfection. It was to develop especially for the precision, it is has the image in precision what the virus is with the freestyle Voici some characteristic of flight: envergure+ - 245 cm Very precise, it are able to descend to the vertical full speed to make a very tight loop with the short-nap cloth of the ground and to set out again has 5 cm parallel on the ground without loss of pressure, very fluid Dérape, made very well superb helicopter, very planing on the back what allows multilazy very slow or very fast Pas need for output editing of turn and straight line it is as on a rail. Stop perfectly. All the spiques ones, posed of any kind are a treat. Ca yofade, crazy copter, backspin, comet, torpedo, deadlauch, yoyo in a time, superb cascade of axel, wapdoowap.ect Once more dévelloper for those which weak to build one cv very powerful, the plan will be put on line for the end of the year on my site. http://cerfvolanttrick.no-ip.com Heu...... for the scandalmongers it is far from being a copy, party as bases of a large deeper neutron and more curved
