Naturally, I now have a kite-building jones, as well as a few questions on some components. 1. Are the Ace end caps and cross-fitting as used on the Shuttle readily available? 2. The Standard-200 uses a special Nylon/Brass T-fitting. Is this component readily available? Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Scott -- Scott A.

I used Trlby end fittings on the shuttles I built. They are available at nearly every kite shop. I must say that I was unhappy with the way that the shuttle flew as a dual line kite. They have been sitting around for most of a year since I made them. However I recently fitted one of them with a 2 leg fighter kite bridle and have been flying it regularly since then. The shuttle makes a really terrific fighter.
