Robert Brasington Genki

The Genki is a thin version of the standard Genki from the 1980s. It is inherently a very stable platform. This version has no keels which enables clean uninterrupted designs. It is using a double dihedral to give the stability. The kite is best in light to medium winds.

The technique to produce the panels is vastly different to normal relief applique. Large coloured panels are assembled with the use of template boards and datum points. These are fully sewn and transferred onto the final body panel. It is a useful and innovative technique to produce larger than normal sheets of colour(s) that can be easily used elsewhere.

The Genki is a unique platform using a double dihedral to give stability in a wide range of winds. It is best in light to medium wind conditions. As with the Stealth Delta, we will be using the large panel transplant technique to achieve the finished kite
