Kitemaking 401: Cost $75.00
Instructor: Darci and Andy Sowers
Project: Build an 8 foot diameter Circoflex
Darci and Andy are local kite builders who have made some great kites. They build kites mainly as a hobby, but have been known to sell their kites for a profit!!
Circoflex kites amaze the crowds and are guaranteed to get a "How does that thing fly??" from those who pass by!
Although this kite appears to be simple to assemble, prior sewing experience (preferably on Ripstop Nylon) is REQUIRED. The precision of the sewing is extremely important if you want your kite to fly correctly and it is very frustrating when they don't! It also helps enormously to have an assistant when sewing these kites!
What is a Circoflex!
Any Questions?
