Soar to new heights with a kite you design and build
yourself!
Using a simple and unique connector system, your
colorful kite sails can be configured in dozens of ways to create a wide
variety of kites. Astonish spectators on the kite field with your wild and
original constructions. Plan, build and test kites again and again to
determine which design is best. Experiment with how different bridle
configurations affect the stability and maneuverability of your kite. Build
a kite ferry and a kite glider.
Learn about lift, drag, Bernoulli's principle, and the
physics and history of flying kites. Calculate how high your kite is flying,
and determine the air temperature way up there. A 32-page full-color
Experiment Manual guides aspiring kite engineers through kite assembly
methods and nine experiments.
