In SJ down at Wildwood they have a big kite fly every Memorial weekend. There are all kinds of stunt kites and some pretty big and small types. Those stunt kites are almost built to aircraft standards and are very expensive. Couple hundred bucks a pop and hand made. Many years ago I was pretty heavy into kites and there is a type of kite called a Scott sled. Three ribs and easy to build. very stable flyer. They are ment to be about three feet high and about the same wide with a vent in the center. Now I couldn't just fly the standard size could I ...NOooooo! I built one out of supper thick black polly sheet with three 1/2 inch yellow pcv pipe ribs. Now this puppy was almost SEVEN feet tall. Got her built and flew it with 150 pound test braided line. Made the mistake of a launch into about a 20 mph wind. I was about 135 pounds at the time and YES it dragged me for about 10 feet till I fell on my butt so I could hang on to her. You should have heard the bradded line scream in the wind!. When she climbed up almost straight over head she flew wonderfully. What a beast of a kite. Someday I need to build another!
