TYPE OF CLASS: Sew Project CLASS SIZE: Class Size - 15 SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate CLASS LENGTH: Day and a Half Project TIMES OFFERED: Offered Once SIZE OF PROJECT: Project is 64" high, 63.5" wide WIND RANGE: The 61/49 flies best in 0-8 MPH BUT with a different way to attach the bridle it can handle stronger winds also.
| The 61/49 is a light wind, controllable single line kite. It can make those days with light and variable, frustrating winds fun! One of our friends calls the 61/49 “the most fun you can have with only one line!” I tend to agree. It’s a natural bridge between the worlds of the static single liner and the often frantic stunt kite. I'd built a lot of kites before this one came along, but If I were to pick one kite that was a turning point in rethinking design and construction as a whole, it would be the 61/49. I started the project with a vague idea of where I wanted to end up, but the 61/49 taught me so much along the way. It's informed design decisions in every kite since. It was a major influence in the updates of the Ichiban and Reprise, and opened my eyes to the path towards my Vixen. Ten years in, it's still the kite I always keep at hand at festivals. When the wind lulls, the 61/49 becomes my dance partner, and it's still teaching me new steps.
