Tremani kite

I've changed jobs recently as you all must have noticed by now. My overall happiness has improved by 500% and what better way to celebrate this than by building a new kite!

My new colleagues really enjoyed our kite display (during a company boat trip) and demanded a Tremani kite. I don't know if they really expected me to go along with this but I did so here it is... (drumroll)

We took these pictures on a very drab, windless (newyears) day. But we couldn't resist finally testing the kite. It flew absolutely perfect (tears are forming in my eyes just thinking about it). Not all my kites are this well behaved...

Since there was almost no wind we had to create our own wind by letting out a lot of line and then quickly pulling it in. This also explains why the kite isn't wearing it's beautiful blue tails (2, one on each side). There simply wasn't enough (if any) wind.
