This PDF eBook is a collection of useful information for making and flying 8 different kinds of medium-sized single-line kites. These designs fly best in light to moderate wind conditions, but some cope well with very fresh breezes also.
These MBK kites require minimal tools: just a ruler, marking pen and scissors! Also, the materials are dirt-cheap: sticky tape, bamboo skewers, wood glue and plastic bags!
The eBook is a selection and compilation of information from the My Best Kite website, drawn from 3 areas:
- selected blog posts from the Kite Flying Blog, which describes some actual flying experiences with each kite!
- detailed instructions from the How To Make A Kite pages, complete with all photos
- plans and tips from the Kite Plans pages
Get ready to have some building and flying fun!
ALSO:
There is a previously unpublished photo of each kite in flight, and ...
For many of the kites, there is a hyperlink back to a 20 second movie of the kite in flight! See what your creation will actually look like, moving about in the air.
PDF file info:
- there are plans and template graphics for each kite
- as well as 9 close-up photos and 7 launch photos of these high-performance kites in flight!
- there are more than 70 photos illustrating the building steps...
- 92 pages of kite-making information and photos - but it's easy to print out just 1 or 2 kites' info if you want!
Have fun looking over all the different designs. Then pick one, build one, and ... in the nicest possible way of course, go fly a kite! :-)
