8 MBK Kites To Make - The Complete 2-Skewer Series

Classics In Skewers & Plastic

This PDF eBook is a collection of useful information for making and flying 8 different kinds of medium-sized single-line kites. There's one for just about any wind speed in the 'very light' to 'fresh' range.

The eBook can be read off a computer screen, but is designed to be printed off and put in a cover as a handy kite-making reference. Perhaps it could even be the perfect birthday or Christmas gift for a kite-mad friend.

Use this eBook to ensure your next home-made kite is...

• accurately made
• light and strong
• properly balanced
• easily connected to various flying lines and tails (if appropriate)
• and hence, a great flier!

Benefit from my 100s of hours of trial and error!

The term '2-Skewer' refers to the fact that the basic 'building block' of these kites is 2 bamboo BBQ skewers, joined end-to-end. Also, except for the Delta, all the designs have a wing-span equal to the length of 2 skewers. A common size for these skewers is 30 c.m., or about 1 foot. This makes the kites just over half a meter (about 2 feet) across. Hence it's not hard to clear enough space on a table somewhere to start construction.

What's more...

These MBK kites require minimal tools: just a ruler, marking pen and scissors!

Also, the materials are dirt-cheap: electrical insulation tape, sticky tape, bamboo skewers, wood glue and plastic bags!

Get ready to have some building and flying fun!
