    Do you have a list of materials and also how to make the canopy?
    Thanks for the interest.
    Material wise is rather simple.
    L-frame i got it from IKEA, it is just a wooden shelving support @ $5
    4.5-5 mm solid aluminium rod to reinforce the L-frame and for the wheels' axles
    fan guard is just a shallow plastic basket you can get cheap from any sundry store with the back cut-off.
    12 mm hollow tubing for the flybar
    wheels, motor, ESC from LHS
    screws, locking nuts, locking collers etc...

    Sorry, i bought my 2m canopy at LHS. Maybe Ariva is able to help you out on that...

                1.4 m is too small perhaps?

                      Attached i have made a drawing on how mine looks like, hopefully it's able to help you get started and how it will look like.
                      I have made several mod to like so it will look a little different from my photos in this thread. Good luck and always glad to help...

                          Like i said earlier, the earlier post show the rear wheels elevated on a much higher skid but decides to mod it lower for a lower CG. I have change the design several times but the final design is exactly like in my drawing now....

                          Maybe u have a better design than mine ...

                            so the latest design is the sketched drawing, noted.
                            btw i do not have a better design than yours that's why i ask you thanks anyway.

                              Hi guys, after several mods and weight reduction, this is my final prototype...
                              Initially it was weighing in at slightly above the 1 kg mark, now that i have change out the metal fan guard to a plastic one, it is weighing in at 680g now.

                                Change out the front single wheel to a double wheeler for better stability during landing (pic). Waiting for my new overseas canopy (paralight) to come in b4 maidening it again

                                Now working on my 2.1m delta stunt kite para unit, gondola almost 80% build-up. Still trying to figure out the stunt kite part on how to connect up the controls of the kite.

                                Might need some help from you experts here later...
