ISBN: 0-312-08966-X Language: English Description: This latest book from renowned kite expert
Jim Rowlands is the first to deal exclusively
with the construction of soft kites (those not
requiring rigid frames). These include sleds,
parafoils, inflatables, and-the latest trend in
kitemaking-sculpted windsocks. More than
twenty original designs are featured, ranging
from simple two-cell and multitube structures
to more complex inflatable kites.
Abundant line drawings and meticulous
instructions lead the reader clearly
through each stage of construction, from
choosing fabrics to using exciting decorative techniques, such as surface and cut-away applique. Information on the latest kitemaking
materials and the storage and transportation
of kites, with lavish color photographs showing the finished projects,
complete the book.
