I have wanted to try a Cody Kite for a while. I found a spool of kite string in a junk shop and took it as a sign.
Looked around and found a one piece material plan for a Cody and it's a small one too.
Had an old disposable $2 table cloth and some bamboo skewers.
Here we see the start with the string proudly displayed.
And here it is built.
The bridle is a trail on these jobs: One on each side and the third connection them.
I should include the plan I found...
Great aye? See the bridle. Himmm.
Anyway , here it is in flight....
At the Waikato University park like grounds that is just across the road from me. Wid of course died away to nothing and I only got enough of a flight to check the rigging etc. Looks good and is twitchy. Was expecting a load lifting design to be more stable. I liked flying it though and just as I packed up the wind picked up real nice, but I wasn't fooled and left anyway.
