Peter's B-Series Rev was made with substandard uncoated blue ripstop that stretched badly and you could blow right through. The kite's performance was noticeably worse than others. He asked me to fix it.

trouble is the sail was badly stretched and baggy- replacing the baggy bits with new material that wasn't deformed meant I had to allow for the stretch.

it's always a bit nerve-wracking to cut appliqué away, it's all too easy to cut through both layers. (I did on one panel) :-(

just about done replacing the uncoated ripstop with new material. You could hear the crispiness again. The original stuff was soft and didn't make any sound when handled.
