ISBN: 1-85486-050-X Language: English Description: The age-old pastime of kite flying has recently experienced a
dramatic increase in popularity, largely due to introduction of new
designs and materials for improved standards of efficiency.
In Kites, Ron Moulton, founder of the British Kite Flying Association
has teamed with internationally respected draughtsman, Pat Lloyd,
to provide this informative book on making and flying modern kites.
Their authoritative text and drawings combine to describe the new
era of advanced types and their use of latest materials. Specialities,
such as kite fighting with the Rokkaku design, aerial photography,
Parabear drops and team aerobatics are supported by 27 fully
dimensioned kite plans which embrace the traditional, the simple
and the sophisticated.
Illustrated with numerous photographs, both black and white and
colour, the book incorporates 10 Appendices and offers a complete
guide to this rapidly expanding recreation. It will be indispensable
for kite enthusiasts everywhere.
