Hi trigger,

I've been thinking, for the past year or so, since the falco was produced.
Couldn't this building technique be used on any size/shape/style of kayak? With the proper drafting work one could convert any design to a falco style design... in theory.
I am sure this building technique could be used in other designs.
The thing is that you need more details regarding the contruction of the joints.

I have a few questions,
Does the ply run free in the channel or is it a close fit ?
Whats the distance you have between Ply panels in the PVC hinge so as to allow them to fold?
I imagine that the “U” aluminum channel has one longer side so as to stick to the Ply , could you give the dimensions.
I asked Tom for some details, But he told me to wait

I'm still working on the various folding aspects of these prototypes and will provide
the detailed information you asked about when all is finalized after completion of the Falco Double.
Please do not attempt to build these boats until I write instructions later this summer.
I am sure that he has been trying the falco in the water and polishing things up before releasing it in his page.
I imagine that one could try to make one using the basic idea, but at your own risk.
