Any information on a : pattern book or other source of kite patterns would be appreciated. : Etiwanda, California 91739 The rec.kites General FAQ describes a number of books with kite plans, usually identifying whether the book has fighter, single-line, multi-line or mixture of plans. The rec.kites Address FAQ lists suppliers and clubs. rec.kites FAQs and archives are available via anonymous ftp from ftp.hawaii.edu:pub/rec/kites. FAQs are in the pub/rec/kites/faq directory. Probably the best source of patterns (and advice) is other kitemakers, and from your zip code I think you might be in San Diego Kite Club range. The club has a newsletter, fun flys, good times, *and* some *very* talented kitemakers as members. Contact the club at: P.O. Box 7977, San Diego, CA 92167, 619-685-2885.

There are MANY good books, and a few not so good ones, on kite making. Try your local store, library, or the KiteLines Magazine bookstore. KiteLines carries just about everything in print. Call 410-922-1212. As far as I know, there is only one set of patterns and plans being produced by kite-knowledgable people. These are the patterns from Goodwinds Kites in Seattle. Call 206-633-4780. They include two stunters, and two single liners, with full size patterns and instructions. -- David Gomberg/Cascade Kites phone 503-996-3083 Box 113, Neotsu Oregon 97364 USA fax 503-994-9692 Specializing in BIG "show" kites and Peter Lynn Inflatibles For info, see http://www.kite.com/~crowell/caskites.html = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Date: Fri, 7 Jul 1995 06:14:22 -1000 From: support@pb.net Message-Id: <3tjmgu$10f@ns2.pb.net> Organization: Long Island Internet HQ/Point Blank BBS LTD.
