Great butterfly and bird kites!
Detail designs for frames and sails, including excellant directions on assembly and decorating. 19 designs give lots of ideas for more. My favorites: Tiger Swallowtail, Dragonfly and Albatross.

This review is from: The Great Kite Book (Paperback)
I bought this book hoping to expand on my knowledge of kites, and get an idea or two for building creature kites. This book was a HUGE dissapointment in this respect.Essentially this book is nothing but painting patterns for the same kite over and over. The build for all the kites detailed here are virtually identical: Fold a sheet of "Tyvek" in half, fold a couple of times, paint it to look like something (the most tedious portion of the build on these kites), and glue a bunch of sticks to the back of the paper. Presto! you have a buterfly! or a swallow! or a dragonfly! You will find no box kites, no stunt kites, or anything besides the same folded "Tyvek" kites detailed in the book. After looking at the book once, I'm afraid it will remain on my shelf, while I spend some time building an interesting delta kite or something.

Great Complicated Kites,

This review is from: The Great Kite Book (Paperback)
I bought this book after I had purchased the magnificent book of kites. This book has great big kites which are more complicated than the magnificent book of kites. So, if you have experience building kites this is the book you need.
