ISBN: 1-55521-840--7 Language: English Description: "From its origins in Asia thousands of years ago, the sport of kite-flying has spread all over the world. Today, kiteflying is more popular than ever, both as relaxing, fun sport and as a form of mental exercise. And, unlike many other sports, it's never too early, or too late, to start making and flying your own kites.
There's no better place to start than with the projects in Making Kites. Miles Denyer and Rhoda Baker, two great kite enthusiasts, start you off with a basic sled kite, for which you'll need only items found around the house, and then build up your skills to help you make the complex stunt and keeled kites. They also take you through launching, flying and landing your kites safely and introduce you to the high-excitement world of dualline stunt kiting and aerial maneuvers.
The carefully planned projects open with wonderful photographs of the kites flying, so that you can see the result you're aiming for. With easy-to-follow steps, each clearly photographed, Making Kites will give you hours of fun in making the kites and many more actually flying your creations."
