Hey all,

I'm trying to figure out why these kites fly how they due and how the different aspects of the kite design change their flight characteristics.

Anyone have any really good resources about all of this stuff?

Books, webpages, etc are fine.

Thanks,

GREAT NEWS !
I wouldn't start the newcomer on anything bigger than a .7m yet ! Is it a Kite Girl or a kite Boy ? Might I suggest decorating the baby room with .......... kites !

Thanks,

It is a little Boy. Dawyn Hardy. (Pronounced Davin)

I actually have a couple of old skynasaurs that i have retired that i think i will put up.

I'll have to buy a smaller kite some day. I was thinking that i could just strap him to my back and go boarding. :-P Think the wife would kill me for that. hehe
