I built kites when I was a boy ... a bit less rip stop and sewing machines and a bit more garbage bags and twigs :lol:

Nice vid though ... is that the bridled arc guy?

Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

I guess I just need way more practice, it takes me a lot longer than 3 minutes to make a kite - gotta learn to do it faster!

Makes me wish I had nice big printer for templates and a fancy measuring stick for bridles - that was slick.
