Booklet n°7 - Aeroplane Kite - NEW -
I was searching the Internet for a soft kite plan that could pull up my KAP craddle. During my search I fell onto David Holt's site and changed my mind.
I was impressed by the quality of his plans and explanations.
I decided that my next kite would then be an Aeroplane Kite !
I began to draw the first detailed plans in March 2001 and it flew for the first time the 23rd of June 2001.

Aeroplane Kite
It looks like it comes just out of a cartoon !

Aeroplane Kite
The kite is the merge of a paraglider (the wings) and a wind sock (the body).
It flies slowly and the only possible stunt is a large loop.

Aeroplane Kite
Tristan (6 years) is steering the kite while I take the pictures.
