Congratulations! And have fun building all 50 kites. But the result must also be shown here!!

Ok, I just got back into the joy of kites a few years ago. Like many, my first kite i remember flying was the Gala sky spy and bat kites. Probably not the first kite I tried to fly but the first kite that I actually flew! Few years back I bought a kite for my daughter as a decoration for her room. Kind of a 3D head on it and very colorful. I took it out with her to try it out just to see how it would fly....?...hard left and crash. Oh well. Fast forward a few years and a trip to the Oregon coast. Found the New Port kite store. My daughter liked the dragon kite Beauty. I ended up the next day with Beast. Great flyers, great fun and now I'm hooked as an adult. The wife has a high flying delta. Just ordered an 18m octopus kite I saw on YouTube. What was i thinking!! John

My grandfather built his own kites after the war in 1947 when he finished building his own home. (Yeah they made them different back then). He flew model planes and his own plane, he had a piper cub, anyway back to the kites. We built a modified box kite together in the early 90’s and I got featured in the local paper with it.

Strat-O-Flier HIgh Flier, the one with the Buck Rogers space ship on it, somewhere around 1960, and I was seven.
