Karl Longbottom's workshop kite-The Swan


As a special order i got in a kit of Karl's swan kite. A popular workshop kite that he offers. Lots of parts for this fantastic kite! But at the time of this order there did not exist written instructions for it-previously you only got the kit at a workshop with Karl standing over your shoulder hollering out direction s (no not really-I hope). So Karl and Sara got me a disc with 23 photographs and 5 pages of written instructions and about 7 diagrams on how to assemble this kit. If you are interested-I can get more kits and all the instructions are found here:


Karl has been working on a neat kite lately- a reproduction of a Salmon 18 wing. About a 100 year old design. Want a neat one-of-a-kind kite? We do special requests!
