Help!

Sat Sep 08, 2012 9:59 pm

A few years ago I came over a kind of "kite" or linejunk on the internet. It looked like a looong band or string of ripstop aporox 10 cm wide, one end attatched to the ground and the other end rising high up into the air.

I'v tried several google sesrches without any success.

Can any one guide me in the right direction please?

Hi, yes I'm alive and kicking :-)

...and thank you for your reply. I don't think that was the kite I was looking for but several google searches later I came upon the Skybow!

If you mean like the ribbon arch then this is tethered to the ground at both ends.

I'm sure I've got plan/explanation for it somewhere if it's what you're looking for.
