I’ve been flying kites as a serious hobby for nearly a decade and started building kites as a full time activity about 4 years ago. I have flown on most of the continents including Antarctica, and on a number of ships and islands to boot. I've tested the kites I'll be teaching this year extensively. I like to fly when I have a few minutes in parking lots and school yards. Until I retired recently, I unwound from a hectic night shift in the Emergency Department by flying for a few minutes. The Fighter and the ram sled are the kites I used. I fly and compete with fighters I build myself. I won the Novice line touch competition at the nationals a few years ago with the kite we will build at U-MAKE. I took second place in Single Line Indoor last year and your kites will have some of the same build and flight characteristics as my Horvath gliders.
