Harm van Veen, one of Holland's most respected and experienced kiters, reveals the properties of kite behavior. With clear writing, precise diagrams and humorous sketches, he shows you...
- Which bridle adjustments have what effects on a kite,
- What balance is, what stability is-and what's the difference,
- How to design a kite for stability,
- How to upscale, how to downscale, and what your limits are,
- The brilliant subtlety of the fighter kite, and
- How to make two simple kites that illustrate the book's ideas.
This book will help save you time, money, crashes and disappointments in kitemaking and flying."
