Twelve fine plans for workable kites. Illustrations are well done. Each kite is actually a system of three subassemblies: anchor system, tether system, and wing system; together the system is a kite. Without a tether, one has just a wing sitting there. The safety rules for use of the kite systems are worth reading and following carefully. Thanks for good book.
