"13 Great-Looking Kites To Make
From Quick'n'Easy To Awesome 8-Footers"

Re-live Your Youth ...
But With Better Kites This Time!

Hi! I'm Tim Parish, a 50+ 'kite nut' who has researched many designs over recent years. And made quite a few kites of my own, of course.

It's been a lot of fun testing and refining these designs so that you too can have plenty of enjoyment and success.

With this book, you're set for a wide range of weather conditions. If the Dowel Box Kite (fresh wind version) won't stay up, most of the others will. And if it seems dead calm out there... Don't be too sure! Tow up the Dowel Dopero or the Dowel Rokkaku and watch it find just enough breeze to hang way up there at 400 feet. Beautiful. You'll never be stuck at home.

"Book looks great and just what I (and my Grandson) wanted."
- Bruce H. (UK)

"I made the Rokkaku, and the Diamond dowel kites. Both flew wonderfully. I also enjoyed making the Prusik knots - fantastic ebook! The ebook is very well written and worth the money."
- Jim M. (PA, USA)

Or, click here for the full collection of my kiting e-books. Since it covers so many kites, this represents the very best value per project.

These Are The Kites You Can Make...

• The Dowel Series. (performance Sled, Diamond, Barn Door, Rokkaku, Sode, Delta, Roller and Dopero, all with 1.2m (4ft) spars and transportable)
• The Dowel Boxes. (a moderate wind and a fresh wind version, both 1.2m (4 ft) long)
• The Multi-Dowel Series. (a Sled, BarnDoor and Rokkaku so far, both with 2.4m (8ft) spars but just 1.2m (4ft) long when packed away)

This book should prove to be a handy kite-making reference for a long time to come. I hope it returns it's value back to you, many times over!

Cheap materials keep the costs way down. What's more, most of the 'tools' are probably lying around your house somewhere already! Nothing fancy is required, believe me.

If the very cheap 'tools' are not at hand already, it's easy to find something like a pair of scissors in a store. In fact, a supermarket would probably have everything except the hack-saw. Most items would be easy to borrow if required.

Even the knot-tying is explained, step by step. You'll soon know them all, and they will definitely come in handy for future projects.

"I attempted to make my own kite ... and failed miserably. I made a quick and dirty version of the MBK Dowel Diamond kite and was absolutely amazed at how easily it took off in even the slightest breeze. ... Thanks so much for the help!"
- Ben K. (KY, USA)

"I enjoy the site very much, and we love the Dowel Barn Door! ... It flew beautifully all of last summer."
- Larry S. (CO, USA)

"Suddenly the Sode rises straight up and it is flying like a dream. My 50 meter flight line did just rush through my fingers and let the kite fly at good 80-90 degrees. ... Finally I got the winder under control and could see how the kite just soared above me. MMM… pure joy!"
- Johan (Sweden)

"I just wanted to let you know about my experience flying my very own and first MBK Delta ... Many thanks for the detailed instructions. I'm not sure why I started making kites this year, but so far it's been very enjoyable. If I end up spending all my free time building kites, it's probably your fault."
- Eric L. (Japan)

The above e-book provides a lot of building and flying fun for the money.

But what if you need to cover the whole range - from very small 'kids kites' right through to huge kite designs for adults? ...

The "MBK Book Bundle" is the complete collection of my kiting e-books. And it does represent the best value for money, too.
