Repairs

Canopy tear from leading edge to trailing edge.

This kite tore from the leading edge bladder all the way through the trailing edge.  To repair the canopies leading edge it required me to disassemble the canopy from the leading edge bladder, repair and then reattach to the leading edge bladder.  Also I rebuilt the trailing edge on this repair…  

Leading Edge and Canopy Repair

Kite had small tear on leading edge that ruptured the bladder and tore the canopy. Repaired bladder, leading edge and canopy.
