That doesn't have to be a dream. Here the author tells how a series of large stunt kites was developed, built and also flown by him. The reward for the effort was beautiful flying experiences with sublime and majestic kites that are still unique in the sky. This book was written to give other kite enthusiasts the opportunity to make such kites themselves. Everything you need to know is here, including mistakes and what you can learn from them.
