 Welcome to my Kites Page. These are the kites that I have built since 1999. I build in the winter and I don't build one every year.

 

1999

2000

  1999: Big Panflute - width: 7'(2.1336m), height:6'(1.8288m), tail: 12'(3.6576m). MY FAVORITE KITE!

2000: Modified Delta - width: 7'(2.1336m), height:12'(3.6576m).
