The age-old pastime of kite flying has recently experienced a dramatic increase in popularity,
largely due to the introduction of new designs and materials for improved standards of
efficiency.
In Kites, Ron Moulton, founder of the British Kite Flying Association, has teamed with
internationally respected draughtsman. Pat Lloyd, to provide this informative book on making
and flying modern kites.
Their authoritative text and drawings combine to describe the new era of advanced types
and their use of the latest materials. Specialities such as kite fighting with the Rokkaku design,
aerial photography, Parabear drops and team aerobatics are supported by 30 fully dimensioned
kite plans that embrace the traditional, the simple and the sophisticated.
Illustrated with numerous photographs, both black and white and colour, the book offers
a complete guide to this rapidly expanding recreation and will be indispensable for kite
enthusiasts everywhere.
