My usual supplier of material has a few rolls of Flourescent Orange parachute type cloth, very soft, fine and flowing, so I feel the need to build something with a big flowing tail with it.

Now the question is, do I build a big pyro or a big Serpent Delta with it?

At the moment i'm leaning towards the serpent delta with a nice thick black leading edge and some sort of black design on the main sail trailing away down the tail

Hey Dazz,

I was going through some "OLD" posts and ran across yours. So, what did you build? Or, is it still in progress? Just curious.

We built a pyro with it although I havent got a decent picture of it yet, unfortunately the weight of the tails offset the weight more than we expected so the keel was too far back, we did some surgery on it last week and chopped off a section of keel and replace it with an experimental keel, just waiting for the chance to try it out and see if it will work or not.

Bright Orange? You could put a Jack-O-Lantern face on it. Or better yet, you could sew FLAMES. Or, you could use Design Master spray paints. Or, you could just leave it plain and draw the designs on clear acetate for people to hold up to view through. You could call it Pick Your Own Design. You could really have fun with this. You could also have some blank sheets and let people draw their own design. This could be a new festival event. Sometimes, I just amaze myself!! Shocked Very Happy

Anyway, that is enough silliness for now. Can't wait to see the pics.
