Thank you for your nice design.
Back from a holiday in France. The best piece of plastic was an old Auchan supermarket bag, which was just big enough for an 80% scale 2 skewer Delta!
It flies perfectly, no trimming, just floats up in a 5MPH breeze. Really stable without a tail, and it has yet to point in any direction except upwards!
Above ~ 5MPH it gets a sort of pitch oscillation. Probably that's the airframe bending and recovering.
Very pleased for 40 minutes work :)

As mentioned earlier, there's another alternative to towing indoor kites if it's just not possible to fly outdoors...
"Kites Up!" is my downloadable board game. It's a PDF file which has all the documentation for the game plus images for all the components. Tokens, cards, the board itself and so on. Anyway, just click that link to see more info :-)
It's a printable PDF file. Make a diamond, delta or sled step-by-step. They fly hundreds of feet up for hours on end. Woohoo!
Could you do me just a small favor though? If you're over 16, please sign up for Tethered Flying - my free twice-per-month publication. Here's just a sampling of the total content...

* A fresh "flight report of the month" (my personal flying)
* Updates on the latest board game from my-best-kite.com
Any questions? Here's more info on both the e-book and the newsletter.
