FREE: A very simple kite-making e-book!
I'm referring to Simplest Dowel Kites, my popular kite-making download. It's a printable PDF file. Make a diamond, delta or sled. In the right weather these will fly hundreds of feet up for hours on end.
Could you do me just a small favor though?
Please sign up for my free monthly publication, "Tethered Flying". No other emails will be sent, and your details are safe with me. You need to be at least 16 years old. There's...
- A huge ''photo of the month" (linked from a much smaller one in the email of course)
- 3 "tips of the month" (1 for beginners, 1 for parents and 1 for more experienced kite-fliers)
- A "flight report of the month" selected from my own flying logs and illustrated with a photo.
During sign-up, you'll get a link to download that e-book :-)
Need winders, reels, flying line?

P.S. Keep an eye out for books by kite author Glenn Davison, a prominent kite person in the USA.
