ISBN: 0 Language: English Description: "At last! It's here! A practical book oriented to the inexperienced, would-be kitemaker. A book filled with explicit directions for making well-flying kites easily and inexpensively.

In The Trash Bag Kite Book Wayne Hosking, modern kitemaster, generously shares his knowledge and expertise. His step-by-step directions take the mystery out of kite making as he describes building the basic kites with techniques simple enough for children to use successfully; thus satisfying a long felt need for a handbook for teachers, scout leaders, and others who work with children. At the same time, however, the creative persons interested in kite-making will find that his suggestions for variations on the basic designs will stimulate the imagination. Meanwhile, experienced kite builders will appreciate his fresh approach to the kite-making process.

I predict that soon after Wayne Hosking's book becomes available we will all find our skies filled with fantastic flying creations that bear little resemblance to their humble ancestor: the plastic trash bag."
