Thanks Bill (and others) for filling us in on the history of such a great kite. I, too, would be interested to learn more about the Phantom and others. The Box Of Tricks for example.

I've don't know if this is that specific kite but The Decorators had different kites for EuroCup #1.

I think I will dig out my Benson Bee and Wasp tomorrow and fly them
I was tempted to make the Scorcher II from the Moulton book plan that I have. Some of the measurements seemed to be missing though.
Thanks again - Can't wait to read further posts from you on Tim's kies.
