Ellefore
$1,265.00
The Ellefore is a remake of Alexander Popov L4.
The Russian kite designer Popov designed this kite sometime before 1905. It was designed to lift radio antenna wire.
Details of its existence and whether it was ever actually made are sketchy. However, the rudimentary plans do exist.
By taking these plans, stretching and adapting the dimensions, the adapted Ellefore is the homage to Popov.
The kite is 3M across and 1.8M high.
It flies in a good wind range of about 2.5 Beaufort up to 4.5-5 Beaufort. That is about 10kph up to about 25kph.
It is a very stable platform and flies at a surprisingly high angle for a cell kite.
Footnote: Here you can observe a modern remake of the original L4.
