Hi abdullah,
thanks for all your hospitality (konukseverlik, misafirperverlik / is that right ?) and your compliments

It's a great pleasure for me and it is really interesting to see all your beautiful kites !
Regards,
Bernhard

It is our pleasure Bernhard . What would you like to drink ?

Where do you make your kites. You probably need a very large area to build so big kites ? I have seen many workshop pictures that fliers make the big kites together in a workshop. We all build our kites at home.
I think you like inflatable kites . I dont have an inflatable kite yet . One of our member made an octupus.

I make all my kites in my cellar, about 27 qm large! That's enough !
Good plans and drawings are very importend !

Hi Everybody;

@Bernhard;
Welcome to our forum. It’s wonderful to see a foreign member in the forum. I’ve visited your site. Your kites are magnificent. Especially I like Kroko family very much. I also want to make an inflatable kite like that. But I think it must be very complicated. Do you think that publish an article about that in your web site or in our forum? For example like this; “making an inflatable crocodile with step by step pictures”

Best regards,
Serçin…

“making an inflatable crocodile with step by step pictures”

good idea,---------but I just finished another one

...too late for the pictures, I'm sorry ! May be when I do the next one ?
But 'step by step', -it is really difficult and pictures alone are not enough instructions, I think.

May we know which type of materials you use. Do you use chikara or icarex or schikarex. Where do you buy this materials. How many meters of material did you use for your biggest kite. How much do you pay for schikarex ?
We sometimes order from wolkensturmer but they are very expensive comparing to USA.

@Halit,
normally I use the spinnaker I just got for a good price. Years ago Carrington was very popular in Germany and it was an excellent fabric for inflatable kites. But Carrington stopped production and today it's hard to find fabric like that ! Chikara is still very expensiv and Icarex to much hard for soft kites, -I think ! So sometimes I used Schikarex or I really love Torray ! Most times I buy it by friends, auctions or internet-shops.
A good shop in Germany is Metropolis
http://www.metropolis-drachen.de/cgi-bir ... .cgi?index
For example: Schikarex = about 6 Euro, depend on the quantity.
Not bad and a good price is Skytex, you'll get it by KEWO
http://www.kewo-international.de/index.php
6 Euro per meter, but 158 wide ! I don't know, if they sell to foreign countrys ? You have to ask them !
My biggest kite is 'Lurchi', I needed 300qm fabric, 10 kilometre of sewing thread, 1000 meter cord.......and so on !
It's crazy, I know !

Bernhard'ın sayfalarına biraz daha detaylı bakmaya fırsat buldum. Almanca bilmiyorum. babelfish.altavista.com sitesi üzerinden çeviri ile biraz okumaya çalıştım. Bernhard soft kite denilen kendisi aslında uçmayan, taşıyıcı bir uçurtma ile çekilen şişme büyük figürlerden yapıyor.

Kendi evinin çatı katında böyle bir atölyesi var.

Figürleri kendi tasarımı. Modellerini CAD yazılımları üzerinde modelliyor.
Gördüğü bir figürü hemen bir uçurtmaya dönüştürebiliyor.

ya da burada görüldüğü gibi:

Bu tahta figürü 2005 yılında bir uçurtma festivaline gittiğinde almış.
Evde bu figürü gören arkadaşı onu dürtüp, "e, ne zaman uçarken göreceğiz." demiş. (Babelfish sistemi ile Almanca'dan İngilizce'ye çeviriden anlayabildiğimi yazıyorum. Umarım doğru anlamışımdır.)

Bernhard'ı anlatacak bir kaç figür daha ekleyelim.

Gördüğüm kadarı ile Bernhard bu dev figürlerden bir tane yapıp bırakmıyor.

Diktiği uçurtmaların her birine 80 -300 metrekare civarında kumaş harcıyor.
Bu figürde çocukluğu döneminden bir karakter. Küçük bir oyuncağı varmış elinde.

Bu işe hobi olarak başlamış bir deli.

Yaptığı uçurtmalar o kadar güzellerki, korkarım benim ingilizcem Bernhard'ı tebrik etmeye yeterli gelecek cümleler kurmaya yetmeyecek...

Çeviri için teşekkürler, başlamışken tebriklerimi sen iletiver Altan...

Gerçekten harike figürler. Kendisini tebrik ettiğimizi bildirirsen sevinirim.
