Plans for ultra-lightweight, collapsible, multi-cell
tetrahedral kites
This is a NO-SPAM ZONE. See the "email" page.
With the TetraLite Kites Assembly Plans and
Instruction Manual you can build any of 8 "standard models" or design your own
custom configurations. There is practically no end to the variations possible
using the unique method of construction explained in the manual. All that is
needed to build these kites are a few simple tools (X-acto knife, pliers, pocket
fingernail clipper) and only five commonly available materials (six, if you
count the bridle lines). And since the individual components are basically the
same throughout the kite, the assembly goes quickly. Every aspect of these kites
is covered in the manual from conception to flight. Included in the manual is
detailed information about the materials, parts quantities for the 8 standard
models, how to determine material quantities for custom designs, color-coded
assembly illustrations for all 8 standard models, step-by-step assembly instructions,
full scale patterns for creating sail making templates, flying instructions
and tips.
Update! The TetraLite Kites Assembly Plans and Instructions Manual
is now available for free download which allows you to print the manual yourself,
although you really only need to print the sail making template patterns because
the manual can be viewed on your computer. Click HERE
