Hello all,

I just received this email from a young man in Korea, and thought it best to elicit help here since I am not a kite builder.

hi my name is Preston Kim. i am sophomore in highschool. I happen to do a science fair about kites. with a title "how does shape of kites affect its flight" I have 2 different korean kites, I need a way to measure the 'affect' on kites' flight can you help me please?

I will compile and forward any information that might be posted here or emailed to me on this topic... Thanks in advance!
