Getting quiet over here. Thought I would inject some banter to shush the crickets. I'm going to win, because everyone wants to see my next prize. I guarantee you haven't seen anything like it before.
Count me in on your drawing

Thanks for that link to stick and tissue, just started rebuilding these after yrs off, Getting the son getting into model building. My doping and covering skills are .... Ugh need helpHi everyone,I'm new to this forum, and was attracted to it by threads on speed kiting. I've been building airplane-shaped kites that are a lot of fun in high wind. At the beach in no more than 10 mph winds, my 4 foot wingspan kite was measured by a radar gun at 59mph, and in 15mph wind, my 3 foot wingspan kite was measured at 97,99&100mph. That was at the Bay Area Sport Kite League's sport kite clinic day at Cesar Chavez Park in Berkeley, California. I fly these kites on no more than 40lb Spectra line with one hand. Most of my high-wind flying is done with 2 foot wingspan kites, which also go in the 50-100mph range in 10-20mph winds. They are really fun to fly because there is very little line pull and they are highly maneuverable. I'm interested in doing build workshops and have talked with the above group, BASKL, about one this January or February.
My youtube channel (sorry I don't have more time to edit) is:
