Big Diamond Kite

by Jim Little
(Birmingham, Alabama USA)

I took the kite plans on Tim's site here (thanks Tim) and stepped them up. This big Diamond kite is 8 ft. at the tips. I just flew it in Tybee Island Georgia on Oct/9/2010. It went right up and flew in very light wind.

This kite will break down to 4 ft. long and about 3 inches in diameter. The dowels are 1/2 inch wood and the kite is rip-stop nylon. It was a lot of work to build but when I saw it fly, it was all worth it.

Thank you for the nice comments

Gary and Tim, thank you for nice comments. By the way, the date is a typo, it should be 10/9/10 that I flew the kite. Tim, thanks again for your suggestions during the proto-type stage, they paid off big. This kite flies great with no tail and no bow line.

Great pics, thanks Jim! In fact, you are the first person to take advantage of the new feature which allows multiple uploads of images. Very handy for kite-fliers since you can show off an ultra close up AND an in-flight shot - as you have done.

Now I'm going to call my wife in to take a look at your impressive Diamond...
