Why look up in the sky at a fixed small black dot? Kitefliers have a strong will to have their own kite in the sky. But when there is an audience, then the situation is different. People are enthusiastic when I perform shows for them. They thank me for being “the only one” thinking about them.
I am 81 and would like some kitefliers to continue the development. So here are the facts so far. I started around 1982 with the “Skypet Show,” but I did not continue it. The steerable deltas had different characters and moved differently.

1. The Circus
In the Hangö Town Theater Festival I had the Circus.

There was the typical circus music (via loudspeaker and tape recorder), and there was the illusion of an arena and a tent, the magical box and the background drapery hiding all not acting at the moment.
