Sometimes we need reminding 1917 cutting edge

Just amazing to see just how many people are needed to launch the kites to get one shot at a time, developed on site. If you have not tried KAP, you should! Its great fun. This could have been you 90 years ago ;-)

They are flying a train of three Cody (aka Buffalo Bill) kites that Cody also used for man lifting purposes.

I have recently relocated my version of the Cody kite (it was very stable and with good lifting capability at a good steep line angle) made from ripstop nylon to fly with my grand daughter this next weekend!!
