A practical guide to building and flying a wide range of kites

With instructions for 25 kite designs, this revised guide moves from familiar two-stick constructions to more elaborate forms, including six-point stars, figural kites, balloon kites, tetrahedral models, and box kites. The material extends beyond the kite body itself: it also addresses tails, stringing, reeling, and other elements involved in preparing a kite for flight. Seventy illustrations support the hands-on focus, making the book a compact reference for constructing varied kite types and understanding their setup.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Kite makers seeking projects beyond basic two-stick designs
  • Craft and hobby enthusiasts interested in hands-on construction
  • Readers who value illustrated practical instructions
