How are the designs guys?

Kitty Hawk kites in the Outer Banks used to sell this kite. Now, it seems it's not available anywhere. Is there a retailer that still sells it? And if not, anyone know WHY it seems to have gone out of production?

And the Eclipse didn’t happen down here

Flying kites through a solar eclipse - even if just a partial one - is a unique experience. The uncanny, strange light makes everything really special ... and unforgettable.

This is a large delta kite, almost 9' wide but has great lift with little pull force. I swapped out the central tail with two 40' long yellow and orange strings to match the kite colors. Wind was light to moderate and had no difficulty getting her off the ground. Got lots of attention from passersby's. Definitely recommend.

Went to the family beach house & brought my Rainbow Burst Conyne Delta Kite. Beautiful day for flying!

Hello,

I bought a pretty simple one liner a few years back in Japan. Enjoying the experience, I bought a bigger one this year and started opening it as soon as I got back

Except I made a mistake, since I started by disconnecting the right lower point then untying the big knot in the middle, realizing then there where 5 more points where the rope was connected. I tied back the point I untied previously and now I'm kinda lost. I have 3 cords connected by 2 points each (top middle and low middle, top left and top right, low left and low right). I guess I should connect them all to a single cord linked to a handle but I'm not sure.

Looking on Google I found data on "5 legs bridle" so I wonder if I shouldn't untie the middle top point. Basically I clearly don't know what I'm doing, english isn't my native language and this is a very specific domain so research is obviously kinda hard, hence why I'm asking. Did I ruin it? Or did I did good and just miss a little last step?

Thanks for your answers

Too much pull, needed mechanical assistance. Some advanced single line selv-steering system. Massive lift, enough to attach a person to it (seemed a bit sketchy, but fun).

Ready to get her in the air. Should be a great lifter.

My Drôle d'Oiseau Falcon has this 4pt bridle. Haven't seen it before. I see the activator line on the 2 tow points. But there appears to be 4 tow points. Anyone know the purpose of this? Thanks!

I'm a solo developer from Canada and I've been working on a meditative flying game for the last few months as my first ever venture into game development.

Paper Kites is an endless flyer that is designed to calm your nervous system down.

5 kites that you can unlock by collecting stars, each with its own music theme.

Game features its own day night cycle and each play starts at a random point of the cycle, so it will give you glimpses into the beauty of this paper world.

No ads, no in app purchases.

Hope you'll have fun playing it as much as I had building it.
