Dowel Diamond Kite - Light Wind VersionA Big Tail-less Diamond!
This PDF eBook is a collection of useful information for making and flying an impressively-sized Diamond kite that doesn't need a tail! At 1.2 meters (4 feet) across, it's a fairly large Diamond compared to many smaller designs sold to children from kite shops. This kite prefers light to moderate wind strengths and has a very respectable performance in that range. A bit of in-land wind gustiness and turbulence won't worry it. 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 $3.95 USD for the opportunity to build a sizable Diamond 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) across from tip to tip. Hence it's not hard to clear enough space on a floor somewhere to start construction. What's more... This Diamond 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! In fact, the glue is not used much at all, it's mainly for securing bridle knots on the kite's frame. Get ready to have some building and flying fun! Oh, one more thing... Unlike most of the plans and instructions you might find on the Web, this eBook shows you how to make your big Dowel kite easily transportable. It just comes apart and 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 flat wing-span of the kite. That's all the measurements on the Plan graphic, Template graphic as well as every reference to a measurement in the text. For example, 0.5DL (600mm, 24"). The last revision was in October 2009, when Metric and Imperial units were added for all measurements. PDF file info:(Don't have Adobe Reader? Get it here, so you can read PDF files.)
