2 sheet Panflute kite
Kite type:
Soft
rammed air kite, single line
Year level: 10+ yrs
Time to make: 4 hours A
good looking soft kite which flies in light winds. Flies well as is,
but looks great with
a tail as the kite sways in the wind wiggling the tail. This
kite requires a hot taker or low wattage soldering iron to join the
sheets of plastic (could also be made with ripstop fabric and sewn though
I haven't tried it yet). This was taken from a design on
Anthony
Thyssen's website, which has great plans for a
real panflute and comments from others on the design. Good to read
as comments will apply to this design too. This design is easier
to make from plastic and has the advantage of being easy to appliqué.
