Invisible flier

Flew this kite in moderate to high winds and was doing perfectly fine if you make the perfect adjustments to the bridle for the wind condition. Mine flew high up and as I used a transparent plastic it looks like almost invisible among the sky except for the spars. I used rubber cement instead of tape in attaching the spars to the sail.

Rubber cement? Could you please tell me more exactly what kind of glue you used? It's a very useful information, thankyou in advance.

Haha! About kite visibility, you achieved a good result, it'a a nearly perfect stealth kite!

(perhaps some coloured marker pen might be useful..)

;-))

Kind regards

Fly the kite near sunset and watch the plastic light up!

Could you do me just a small favor though?
