> for our cody-page I would like to include an overview
about professional cody builder. I have already scanned
through Kitelines and DRAma, but there is only little
information available.


There are unfortunately, no professional Cody makers in the USA
any more. The Buffalo Cody Kite Company (Dan Flintjer) is being
sold and is no longer making anything but "simple" boxes. The Cody
Kite Society (Rick Brown) has also closed.

We are importing German-made Codys in the 3,4, and 5 meter sizes and will
soon be offering them for sale.

Hope that helps!

Re. American made Codys,,, Dan Flintjer has sold (only) his box kite
business. He still makes his beautiful Codys to order in sizes from 6' to
over 16' wingspread .

He can be contacted at 1 716 824 6688 in Blasdell New York.

P.S. re. Codys for sale.

I just talked to Dan Flintjer and he has a dozen 10' wingspan Codys in
stock. They're available at his previous wholesale cost of $460 each,
with carbon spars, instruction booklet, carry case and already sprayed
with "tree repellent." Just ask him about it....

I also understand that "advertising" isn't proper on this forum but I
wouldn't want unfounded rumors about Dan not making Codys anymore to be
believed. He's always made a very high quality Cody with unusual design
features that are really distinctive. He has patterns to make them up to
35' wingspan.

I have no financial interest in this, if you're interested call Dan
direct.
