I made a couple of kites about a month ago and have been waiting for a windy day to fly them so I delayed uploading the videos. Yesterday was a suitable day so you will see how they flew. I made one kite using the remains of my Poundland Halloween Vampire Cape and the other from a Poundland Emergency Blanket. These were not good choices, they simply were not string enough, and in Part #3 The Flight Video you will see they rip apart. The kite string I used was not strong enough either.. There will have to be a Part #4 with better material used as the design is fine. My kite is based on this one by Gordon Dipple https://youtu.be/YqsmCsXwJqE Main components - Poundland Halloween Vampire Cape Poundland Emergency Blanket Flower canes Duct Tape Kite string Main Tools - Scissors Sharp Knife Filmed using FujiFilm FinePix S4800 & XP70 Edited using Serif MoviePlus Starter Edition I will add this new video to my Kites playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB0cQEd8EvTU8x2pySWEaJGH I cannot answer comments from people who have blocked replies, so if you don't get a reply to your question that may be the reason.

OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
