"SUPER KITES I & II have helped kite makers win prizes on both sides of the Atlantic & Pacific oceans," says KITING; the bulletin of the American Kitefliers Association. "The books fight a never ending battle for lift, stability, & high angle of flight. The feeling that kite building & flying can be simple, refreshing & fun, shines through on every page. Besides being informative, it is a pleasure to read & will find a place along side other classic books in kiting." SUPER KITES III adds 18 designs to the 16 from SUPER KITES II, including the Volkswagon Kite that has won acclaim down under in New Zealand & more from H.B. Alexander V-owl & the bristol box. There are also new plans for reels, winders, banners, laminated spars. In color & black & white photos of kites & gear. All construction is made from readily available economical materials & require basic tools. Yet the gear & kites perform as well or better than the most expensive commercial varieties. SUPER KITES III should keep you serious kitemakers happily occupied for many years.Thorburn, Neil is the author of 'Super Kites III', published 1991 under ISBN 9780962935435 and ISBN 0962935433.
