These are the most recent pictures of my kites and other paraphernalia. Newest photos are added at the top of the page to make it easier for you to find the updates.
This is a kite I've had for a long time and forgot about. It's made by HQ, but it's not labeled with a model and I've forgotten what it is - if you know, send me an email.
This is my newest kite - a Level One. I made the transition tail to set off the kite.
This is a view of my RWB ground display at Hammonasset.
My granddaughter Abby flies "Nosey" won at the NYKE auction at Sullivan County.
This is the 25' diameter FUGU built as a NYKE club project. We're flying at Sullivan County.
This is NYKE's 27x40' playsail - built as a cooperative project by the club. We're flying it at Sullivan County Community College.
This is my 35' Dragon kite flying at Sullivan County Community College. I won this kite at a NYKE auction.
This is my 2m sled built at a NYKE workshop. I'm flying my bear as line laundry. This was taken at Hammonasset.
This is my circoflex flying at Hammonasset. I got the plans from Gary Engvall.
Another view of my Triangulation. I'm flying at Hammonasset.
This is my pair of counter rotating 4' bols. I made these from plans found on the web.
This is my 13' RWB delta with RWB ring I made using plans from Gary Engvall.
This is my 13' RWB delta with RWB transition tail made using plans from Gary Engvall.
This is my 6' Rok made at a NYKE workshop. It started life as a plain orange rok. Then I used it for applique practice and converted it to a work of art. The orange has pretty much faded to yellow.
This is my delta conyne. It's the first kite I built. It was a kit from Hang-em High.
This is my Triangulation by Joel Scholz. I made both transition tails using plans from Gary Engvall.
This is my 8' bol made from plans created by Jim Johannesen.
This is my Della Porta with fuzzy tail made during a Kite Studio online workshop.
This is my Tramontana 2000.
This is my 13' RWB Delta - built during a ConnectiKITERS workshop.
This is my Buena Vista Feather - it's a light wind kite (1-10 mph), the oldest kite in my bag.
This is my ITW TC Ultra - I love the handling in 2 line mode at moderate wind speeds.
This is my Buena Vista PI - another light wind kite, rated for 0-8 mph. It's my smallest dual line kite.
This is my Prism Stylus 2.8 - no sticks! It pulls hard, which is why the horizon is tilted - I'm holding the camera in my right hand and steering with my left.
That's my 45' RWB dragon kite off in the distance.
This is my 6' RWB Rok - I don't fight with it, it's just for displaying the colors.
I tried to pick up the car, but the wind wasn't strong enough.
This is my FlowForm 125 with a 9' ring for a drogue.
This is my Joel Scholz 20' Raptor delta. It's also towing my 9' ring which provides significant drag.
I'm flying my Tramontana 2000 at Frisbee. I'm holding the camera in my right hand, thus you can see the flying strap and right-hand line quite well.
This is my 2m sled built at a NYKE workshop. It's towing a multi-segmented worm I built for use as a drogue.
This is my ITW 8' Le Frog, also by Joel Scholz. This wind is light which is why it's not fully inflated. I'm using a tadpole as a drogue - it seems to fly a little more stably.
