Djinndoor

Staying true to our minimalist approach for indoor kites, we’ve utilized a simple 2-point harness on each side of the leading edge which shifts tension points between either side of the vertical spar (enhancing outer leverage for axels) and tensions equally when flying with forward drive. It also features on-board tuning knots in order to minimize the amount of knots and other snag points on the handle end. Bottom line attachments are direct, a simple pigtail configuration.

We wanted to make this quad kite as smooth and recoverable as possible, so you won’t find any exposed bungee knots anywhere on the kite, we’ve instead placed them inside the leading edge wingtips (without interfering with frame changes) and added covers to those knots and washers on the bottom wingtips, so these will no longer create snags in flight or during ground recovery.

Using a T-Piece configuration and thoughtful placement of bridle components, the Djinndoor quad kite has no exposed end caps or knots along the leading edge, once again eliminating the usual snag points where lines get caught or hung up during flight or ground recovery, this also completely solves the issue seen on older designs where the leading edge end caps were wearing through both the material and spars.

We are using specifically designed end caps on all four wingtips that place the bridle attachments away from the very tip to significantly lessen overall wear and damage from ground contact (such as urban flying), the bridle has its own hole perpendicular to the bungee holes to eliminate directional conflict, 3D printed PP to not only keep them light but also to make them durable against both abrasion and impact.

Usually done by fliers aftermarket, we have taken the liberty of adding vinyl covers to the bottom wing tips (only) to both reduce wear on the end caps and to enhance traction, thereby greatly reducing or eliminating the well known tendency for the tips to slide out from underneath the kite when landing.

Each kite comes with a Mystic 10 frame set, chosen for their overall strength, recoil and weight, these spars are specifically made for and proven during the Djinn’s development to allow the right balance of flex and stiffness to achieve solid airfoil.

In addition to the overall quality of the Djinndoor build, it also features a latticed panel / seam arrangement to provide maximum “net-like” support in the sail which lessens stretch and particularly deformation or loss of the kite’s original outline or profile over time and also working toward the same end goal, all trailing edges are double stitched, all sail material is Icarex PC-31 (preferred by pro pilots worldwide).

Often referred to as “wear strips”, while they do certainly reduce friction and wear between the upright spars and the sail, the primary purpose of these components is actually to moderate and control the massive sail stretch and degradation that naturally occurs on many quad kites along the vertical spar due to repeated sail compression.

Both ends of the leading edge material has been folded and sewn to reduce fraying and increase overall durability.

As you’ve seen by now, the outermost trailing edges of the Djinndoor quad kite are not cut in a straight line and have an inset angle applied to smooth out reverse flight which also helps with moderating the dreaded “bowtie” or single wing flip.

You can also customize your own sail colors using our Djinndoor colorizer for a nominal fee, but please note all designs are subject to review and approval by Kite Forge staff for overall complexity and brand aesthetics – most designs will pass with no problem, our primary purpose for reviewing is to avoid overly complex “checkerboard” patterns or color combinations that are overly difficult to arrange, with a slight afterthought to ensuring that all kites produced also represent the brand to our taste.
