At last, I started to build the Twisty Tube variant. Its not yet been finished, but I remebered your "test" with the vacuum cleaner to see if the design works. And it does...

Anthony's Reply... I like the way you inserted a flat 'ribbon' between the lobes of the tube. Very smary looking.

I'm a kiteflyer from germany an found your tube tail plans a long time ago at your website. But at the beginning of this year I got the idea to build my own one. first - to study how it works - I built one from faric of an old nylon tent. the result was satisfying me.

The next step was to build a 3 colour double twisted bulge tube. the result is a very nice tube tail which loooks very well in the air.

Thank you very much for offering the plan to use.

Again many thanks to all who have followed this plan and responded. Especially those which included any hints and tips they found while building.
