First kite I've made in 50 years, my last one was made from news paper and small flat pine sticks. I have to admit this one is much better.
First flight was today. Temp was 10 degree's F. with about 4" snow on the ground. Wind was only 2-3 mph at best. The kite flew great and appears to be balanced properly. Once a little altitude was reached it flew even nicer.
Now that I know it's a good design and I was able to successfully build it, I will build more for my Grand Kids.
Thanks for the plans and detailed instructions.
Okie, now flying...
