This PDF eBook is a set of Step-by-Step instructions and other useful information for making and flying a fairly big Box kite. This one doesn't require a gale to fly!

A bit of in-land wind gustiness and turbulence won't worry it. Also, it is light enough to occasionally rise overhead in a thermal! Not your usual box kite behavior. The eBook can be read off a computer screen, but is designed to be printed off and put in a binding of some sort. This handy kite-making reference would even make a great birthday or Christmas gift for a kite-mad friend... Use this eBook to ensure your big home-made kite is...

Just $7.95 USD for the opportunity to build a sizable Box kite that is easy to transport and quick to set up! Any round hard-wood dowel, such as oak, can be used for this kite. This design is 1.2 meters (4 feet) long from nose to tail, and uses 5mm (3/16") dowel. Hence it's not hard to clear enough space on a floor somewhere to start construction. What's more... This Box kite requires minimal tools: just a ruler, marking pen, scissors and a small cheap hack-saw! Also, the materials are dirt-cheap: sticky tape, electrical insulation tape, dowels, wood glue and plastic bags! Get ready to have some building and flying fun! Oh, one more thing... Like any decent Box kite, this design is easily transportable. The cross-pieces come out and the kite rolls up like a Sled. A slim 1.2 meter (4 feet) package will fit just about anywhere. Strapped to a bicycle, tossed in the back of a car or even a backpack. Even a large suit-case could probably fit this kite diagonally across, so you could take it on a plane. You don't need a store-bought kite to have one that is big yet packable! Measurement Units:Chances are you have already browsed through quite a few kite designs on the Web. The measurements are either in Metric, Imperial or some kind of generic units. Too bad if your accustomed measurement unit isn't there... Guess what... This eBook gives you all 3! Every measurement is in Metric and Imperial units. Do you like to scale kite plans up or down? No problem, all measurements are also quoted in Dowel Lengths (DL), where 1.0DL is the length of the kite. That's all the measurements on the Template graphic as well as every reference to a measurement in the text. For example, 0.5DL (600mm, 24"). PDF file info:(Don't have Adobe Reader?
