Made a finger Kite

[JoneZ]

Hah! Things to do when your home from work:

Be bored... Check

Grab a handful of straws from BK... Check

Scoop up extra thread and nylon... Check

Build a finger stunt Kite... Check!

Heres a pic.

Wingspan 22 1/2"

Height 9"

Does it fly? Heck yes! lol I think I need to weight the tail.

Heres a pic.

I should have made it collapsible. I just went out and flew it. It flies great, although its very whippy, because of its size. Maybe because Im using heavy duty sewing thread for a lineset. lol

I may just have to make a 6ft. lineset of 50# dacron for it.

Heres a few more pics.

hehe, yes wayyyy too much time. lol

I realized that the spine was on the wrong side, so I corrected that. It left a nice "vinyl glue" mark down the mid section of the kite, so I grabbed one of my Wifes filigree stamps, loaded it up with some silver paint and stuck a design on it. hehe. I'll upload a pic tomorrow perhaps.

Sleep.. now...
