It seems to be very difficult to find someone who produces Cody kites
professionally, but this is the information that we have got so far:
- Jeffrey C. Burka
"I make and sell miniature Codys, built of ripstop nylon (and
occasionally polyester) on wooden dowels with micro-carbon battens and spectra
bridles.
The cells are ~13cm x 12cm and the kites stand 40.6cm tall. I do both
as standard and an extended wing (with two battens/side). The extended
wing does *not* have the additional top sail, but does have 3 bracing lines
(again made of spectra) from the top bridle point to each of the
extended wings."
Pictures/details
of the kites/prices are available.

Rick Brown
Peter Loop has emailed me the following information:
"The best (IMHO) Cody kite maker in the US is back in business and
ready to take orders. Rick Brown, who bares a striking resemblance to
old S.F. himself can be reached at:
Rick Brown

Eugene, Oregon 97402

- Dan Flintjer
Bill Tyrell has emailed us the following:
"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."
Dan Flintjer can be contacted at 1 716 824 6688 in Blasdell New York.
- David Gomberg
"We are importing German-made Codys in the 3,4, and 5 meter sizes and
will soon be offering them for sale."

Gerd Blattert is known for his excellent craftmanship especially in
building Cody kites. He is said to also sell the kites. Gerd can be

special customer demand.
