18m (yellow) + 12m (orange) + 15m (blue) + 9m (green) = 54m of kite :wow:

I also think its interesting the order of the stack. it seems like the 12 and 15 should be flipped. I wonder if they stacked it that way just so the colors looked more like a gradient??? hmmm.

They tried to do them in order but it wouldn't fly right. They tried this switch and the stack flew pretty good.
