I have received good advice on construction from colleagues on rec.kites, but need a few more items to feel confident in construction. Vertical spar attachments. Is there a loop at the horizontal cord for the spar, or is it only attached at the top and bottom spar pockets? Segment ratios: Ratios of top to bottom segments on diamonds seem to have quite a wide range. For an arch, what proportion of the kite should extend above the horizontal cord? Density. Tentatively, I plan for 30 in. between kites, thus, 5 ft. per kite. For a 500 ft. arch, is this a good distribution, or should I space them further apart? Any idea about the actual pull at the ends of such an arch? Thanks for your response.

Plans now circulate under the name of NASA ParaWing with the dimensions for model 5 (one of several models tested by NASA). Having build one, I can tell you that the thing pulls like a horse, is a bitch to bridle and (at my current bridle configuration) produces too little forward speed. The ParaWing doesn't turn, it pivots around its center. It folds up to a small package, is absolutely unbreakable and CHEAP. All it requires is a bit of ripstop and a roll of bridle line. I build mine (approx 3-3,5 m^2) for under 50$. >It seems that most flexifoils and similar do have spars. Which confuses me somewaht, 'cos my >GlidePath Firelite (176 sq. ft.) packs down real small and has no spars. But then it is a skydiving >rig! For as far as I know (I know very little :-) the flexifoil and its derivates (sp?) are the only matrass shaped kites with spars. There are even some bridle-schemes around to use a flexible bridle that eliminates the spars. >I know there are cheapo kiddies pocket kites out there but I really want something a bit more grown >up, And preferably available in the UK. You could get any Foil kite in either 2- or 4-line configuration. My QuadriFoil 5m^2 (which is definitely a bit more grown up :-) folds into a little round package 35 cm high and 25 cm diameter. I can even fit the necessary line on two spools in this package. All I need to carry extra are the two grips. On the downside: they are not cheap.

The kite bags were hung by the chimney with care In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. The flyers were partying not a one was in bed, While visions of Team Ballet danced in their heads; And Uncle Wilbert in his mombo sock and I in my cap Had just settled down for a long distance chat When out on the flying field there arose such a clatter, we sprang from our drinks to see what was the matter. When, what to our woundering eyes should appear, but a Land Lizard buggy, pulled by a Sky Tiger 40. With a little old pilot solively and quick, We knew in a moment it mut be St. Nick More rapid than eagles, his kites they came and he whistled and shouted and called them by name, "Now Flexifoil, now Quadrifoil, now Peter Lynn Peel, On Nemisis, on Speed Limit, on Kestral and Griffin! To the end of the field, just to stop with a stall, Now buggy away, fly away, buggy away all." As Deltas that in a brisk breeze will fly, with a tug on the string they climb to the sky. So up to the roof tops the buggy it flew, With a bag of goodies, and St Nicholas, too. As we took a deep breath and were turning around Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in red from his head to his foot and his clothes were all covered with ashes and soot. A bundle of kites he had on his back, Led me to believe I was getting a stack. He had a new Rokaku and a new set of lines, and the way he was smiling brought peace of mind. When the jolly old elf had to finished his work, He had filled all the stockings then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; He sprang to his buggy, tugged on the kite, And away he flew into the night. But we heard him exclaim, ere he flew out of sight, Happy Christmas to all and to all a good Kite. With sincerest apologies to Clement C. Moore.
