The_Gregors Posted July 22, 2022 Report Posted July 22, 2022 Hello all, I tried to search, but have not found what I am looking for…Does anybody have a suggestion on how to display kites indoors? I primarily fly 2 line sport kites from Kite Forge and Prism. The one idea I have seen is a metal hook from the tail of the spine of the kite mounting to the ceiling. This allows the kite to hang vertically, but upside down. I would prefer to have the kites displayed in a more natural flight attitude. I guess I could also run 3 lines from the ceiling connecting the nose and wingtips, but I am hoping for a more elegant solution. I could calculate the exact center of gravity and hang the kits from there, but how to connect to the kite? (Maybe I could use magnets). Anyway, does anybody have any suggestions or better yet photos of their “kite wall”? (Yep, I am onto something with the magnets). Cheers. Quote
frob Posted July 26, 2022 Report Posted July 26, 2022 Each you've described has places you can latch onto from behind. I'd go with the 3-point method attaching wherever needed with a simple knot you can remove if/when you want to go fly it. A single hanging line could flop around or wildly twist every time there was motion in the room from an open door, an HVAC vent, or someone walking by. Quote
