Thinking about making a kite, few questions!
Posted: Wed Apr 19, 2017 12:44 pm
Hey guys I am relatively new to the hobby, been flying since last summer.
I realised if I'm going to be flying kites for a while I'd like to start making them myself. I am fairly handy and love the idea of creating my own kites.
Is it cost effective to do this in the UK? Which shops do people use to purchase supplies, fabric and spars? Does anyone have any examples of kites they have made themselves?
Would love to have any tips, things you might have had to learn the hard way! A great side to the hobby I have only recently considered... When contemplating how much fun I could have and money that could be saved in the long run.
