Inquiry

[alpl26]

Hello,

I'm a student at the University of Washington, and I will be writing a paper on different types of kites. I am polling different kite communities to obtain some numbers for charts, and would greatly appreciate your contribution.

I’m surveying the type, material, span, surface area, and weight of each user’s kite. A short response in the following format would be appreciated:

Type:

Material:

Span:

Surface Area:

Weight:

If you could, a guess of the material breakdown (in % of kite) would be nice, otherwise, please just state the dominant material. I will share with you my results at the end of summer if I’m successful in gathering enough information.

Thanks

Good topic for a paper!

I hope you get lots of replies.

You can retrieve some specs for the kites I have in my kite bag here:

The Surface area is not listed, however the wing span and heights are given.....add a little math....and you're there!

If you're up for a visual hands on in a Kite shop environment......just go across I-5 on 45th, west to Stoneway, take a left (south) on Stoneway, go almost to the bottom, and see Gasworks kite shop on the left.

Ask for Kathy or Todd

Good luck on your paper!

Looking forward to the results being posted! Hey...maybe John could even include it as an article in a Kitelife issue!!

Does anyone have input for this student?

I know we'd all love to see him get an A+ with kites!
